About Rory
Our Rory girl is a beautiful, light color golden with the most gentle and sweet disposition. Even as a puppy, she had a wonderful, calm temperament and was very easy to train. She is 100% genetically clear through UC Davis Veterinary on the golden retriever disease panel. Rory has her OFA elbows, heart, and eye certifications. We now generate all our hip certifications through Penn Hip and Rory has also had those completed! She's a wonderful mom so far and all her puppies are strong and thriving.

Everything went smoothly. Michael at Sadie Lane Goldens promptly responded to every contact and provided us with time to meet the litter and choose our puppy, who was delivered healthy and ambitious! The puppy package was very useful and Finnesse has settled into her new home.
