Q. & A. with Gabe and Kristy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It truly breaks our hearts when we come across a beautiful furry friend who isn't healthy. We believe they deserve the absolute best, and that's why we've dedicated ourselves to breeding well-tempered, healthy dogs. We were fortunate to spend time with a dedicated breeder who allowed us to be their understudy. We are truly grateful for the time, knowledge, and training we received.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our core values guide every aspect of our breeding program. Ethical breeding practices, a commitment to the health and well-being of our dogs, and a focus on preserving and enhancing the breed's unique qualities became the pillars of our vision. Our dedication to producing not just beautiful babies but also temperamentally sound and genetically healthy puppies sets us apart in a competitive field.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Golden Retriever puppies are dark golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Gabe and Kristy were an absolute joy to work with. Every week we received countless photos of our Apollo as he grew bigger in preparation for his transition home. They were very good at communicating his progress in training and it was wonderful to welcome home a pup who was mostly potty trained, crate trained and knew how to sit like such a sweet little boy. When we first got Apollo they gifted us a bag full of food, treats and information to help with the transition to our home. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Gabe and Kristy.

    Kristy and Gabe were very responsive and regularly gave updates and information about our puppy, which we loved. You can tell from interacting with them that they love and know all things golden retriever. They definitely have the dogs’ best interest in mind with the care and training they give them. We were super happy with our experience with them and would highly recommend anyone to them for a puppy. Thanks again Kristy and Gabe!

    Gabe and Kristy were so helpful with helping us find our perfect little puppy! We were able to travel from Colorado to pick him up without any issues whatsoever! They were very responsive and provided us with the best updates each week. They also sent us home with an amazing care package with all of his information and helpful resources in general. Our golden is very playful, but also has a very good “off switch” where he switches to cuddle mode quickly. He has been able to sleep through the nights and has been basically potty trained since we picked him up. I would highly recommend Raised Right Pups for anybody looking for the perfect golden!

    I can’t say enough good things about Gabe and Kristy with Raised Right Pups! From the initial contact, they were so responsive and knowledgeable. Through every interaction, you can tell how much they care about the dogs they are raising. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful we found them through Good Dog. Our family has never owned a golden retriever before, but Kristy patiently answered every question (she still does)! 10/10 stars all around! 🤩

    We had an amazing experience working with Gabe and Kristy to bring our golden puppy home from Oklahoma to Tennessee. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable. They made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and reassuring every step of the way. Their attention to detail, especially around vaccinations and health protocols, gave us complete peace of mind. They answered all of our questions promptly and made sure we felt fully prepared for the transition. It was clear they truly care about their dogs and the families they go to. We’re so grateful for their help and support throughout the process. Thanks to Gabe and Kristy, our puppy’s transition into our home was seamless—and we couldn’t be happier!

    Gabe and Kristy were very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. I enjoyed getting updates and photos of my pup every week. I truly appreciate the training that Kristy does before the puppies go home. Apollo is pretty much potty trained at just 8 weeks old and I owe a lot of thanks to Kristy for that. Overall, my experience with Raised Rights Pups was a 10/10 and in the future if I’m looking for another dog this is the place I would come back too. The fact that they offer lifetime support with any questions I had at home with the pup is spectacular! Not only that but if I ever need to board him, Kristy is willing to take him and continue to train him is fantastic! Anyone would be lucky to gain a companion from them!
