About Ruby
Ruby is the best snuggler ever, she loves curling up next to me (even if there's barely any room, she finds a way!) and will take a nap with her head on my lap. She loves her toys, and he favorite one's are the toys with balls inside, she'll carry them around everywhere and make little happy noises. She is incredibly sweet and such an adorable dog.

Oakley is a gentle, sweet, and intelligent dog who has endless love to give. She loves her toys, playing fetch, and is always down to play in the water (especially the water hose!)

Amazing experience with Samantha! She was great about updating us with pics and videos u til we could pick up our little guy. She was super organized and knowledgeable when we picked up the pup. She had all our paper work and extras on pick up day. We will definitely use her again if we are looking for another golden in the future.

+5Samantha is amazing! She was always very responsive and sent updates of my pup along the way. She gave me a little puppy starting pack when I picked him up and you can tell she really cares about her pets and knows what she is doing! Kobe is the most precious pup ever! Thanks Samantha!

Working with Samantha to find our new pup friend was a great experience. She is very caring, knowledgeable about the breed, and was always available for questions (with a very fast response time). She took time to answer even the silliest questions. She was also very organized at pick up, with the pup’s paperwork ready and many extras to get us through the car ride home and the first couple days. I really enjoyed working with Samantha and have already recommended her to my family and friends. Great experience over all!
