    Christina was a dream to work with. I could tell the care for her dog and puppies was her number one priority, incorporating them well into her life and family. She shared regular updates with photos and videos of the litter, providing extra notes for each pup. Christina was very responsive and went above and beyond in answering our questions and providing helpful care tips. We new our boy would be our “one and only” so I am forever grateful to Christina (and Lacey) for providing us the most perfect new member of our family

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting our golden retriever puppy from R&R Goldens! From the very beginning, Christina was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions with care and patience. She consistently shared adorable photo updates - both of the whole litter and personalized ones of our puppy, Millie - which made the wait so much more special and exciting. It’s clear that Christina truly loves and cares for her dogs, and that compassion shines through in every step of the process. We brought Millie home yesterday, and she has already stolen our hearts. She’s the sweetest little girl - snuggly, playful, and a little mud enthusiast (she’s already had her first bath - and no we did not use the Dawn soap as pictured, it was just in the way). We feel so lucky to have found such a thoughtful and dedicated breeder. If you’re looking for a golden retriever raised with love, we wholeheartedly recommend R&R Goldens.

    We had an absolutely outstanding experience with cristina from start to finish 🥰. Her communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. She demonstrated deep knowledge and genuine passion for her dogs, which immediately put us at ease. What truly set her apart was how warm and friendly she was—always happy to answer questions and keep us informed. We received frequent, heartwarming updates and adorable photos of our puppy, which made us feel included every step of the way. She even welcomed us to visit and start bonding with our pup early on, which meant the world to us. Her availability and personal touch made the whole journey incredibly special, and we couldn’t be more grateful!
