Q. & A. with Sandra
Why did you start breeding?
Mountain Sky Goldens, a breeding program focused on producing therapy and service-quality dogs. Over the years, many of their puppies have gone on to do amazing work as therapy and service animals, continuing the Manions’ legacy of service and compassion. Golden Retrievers are one of the best breeds in the world, and Sandy and Jeff are proud to offer these incredible dogs to their community!What makes your program special?
MSG is committed to doing things the right way, studying & evolving with each litter to provide the best start possible for their pups. Each puppy does kennel, potty training,car rides, fire works, thunder,balloons,bridges ,water & tunnels ECT. It is their deep love for the positive impact these puppies can have on others that drives their work, & they take great pride in every puppy they breed.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates
Sandra M.
Litter update on 12 May •…Aspen still has one boy available. The litter has been doing early scent work daily, along with early neurological exercises and of course daily snuggles. Yesterday we clipped all their tiny toe nails and the pups explored the strong smell of a banana! The litter's eyes are all starting to open. Soon we will introduce potty training at this early stage which helps pups utilize instinct to help them grasp the concept better. We will do car rides and startle recovery next. We have so much to do!

She is very good at therapy work! She has recently gone through all of the steps to work at our local hospital, along with all of our adult Goldens, serving as their therapy dog!

Indie, mom
Golden Retriever
About Indie
Indie is incredible! She is our star out of our five Goldens while doing therapy work. Many dogs don't love to have their head hugged and kissed but Indie welcomes a good hug and kiss! People seem to sense that she is okay with it and she smiles so big when they love on her. Indie has gone through individual testing with me as her handler and with another women who Indie hardly knows. Indie is now an official Therapy dog for two different handlers! Indie has clear genetics and has passed all OFA for eyes, heart, hips and elbows! She is a natural at nurturing! We love this beautiful girl!

Carolina, mom
Golden Retriever
About Carolina
Duchess Carolina of the Mountain Sky was born June 2020 out of Ellie and Magnum's litter. She is OFA CHIC and earned her AKC CGC Title. Carolina passed her CGC with exceptional skill. She watches me so closely to give me her best. This beautiful girl is a Nationally Registered Therapy dog. She would be by my side all day if she could. Carolina has a kind and gentle temperament and is extremely intelligent. She is very obedient and loves long hikes, swimming, and exploring all over Idaho! Carolina has a beautiful light coat and has that ideal blocky head that is the Light "English Cream" trademark. As a mother, she is amazing. With her last litter of puppies, one smaller pup kept getting pushed off while he nursed with the others. Carolina learned, that if she would nuzzle her nose in between that pup and the others, he could stay on to eat. That loving attention is typical with all of her pups. She truly has a heart of Gold! Carolina has met OFA CHIC eligibility standards and is registered in the CHIC database. She has passed all OFA testing for heart, eyes, hip, and elbows. Carolina has also been cleared of all known genetic issues in Golden Retrievers through Embark genetic testing.

Sandra from Mountain Sky Goldens was a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond during the process of picking my puppy and after getting her home she keeps in touch to help if needed. Sandra made the whole process very easy including the flight home. You can tell she really cares about her pups. Her puppies are very beautiful and smart. As a first time dog owner it has been so easy to train my puppy. She’s been great with people, kids, and other dogs. I can’t wait to keep bonding and growing with her. If you’re looking for a dog I highly recommend Sandra from Mountain Sky Goldens. Her puppies are amazing and she really cares and wants the best for them. Thank you so much Sandra for my new best friend!

We had a wonderful experience with Sandra of Mountain Sky Goldens. From the moment I contacted her about a puppy, she was helpful, informative and a joy to interact with. We picked up our new puppy, Theo, two weeks ago. He is beautiful, healthy and was well on his way to being potty trained and responsive to training queues when he came home.
