Layla, mom
Golden Retriever
About Layla
Layla has a wonderful temperament! She is everything the breed is said to be: mellow and affectionate, VERY patient and loves to just sit with you. She is in training to be a therapy dog, and folks have commented that she "looks into their souls." She loves car rides, swimming in the lake, and exploring while we go horse back riding. She is an amazing mom also. She has always loved babies, and been an excellent 'aunt and babysitter' to puppies, so we knew that she would love having her own. We hear frequent comments about her puppies inheriting her mellow personality as well. She sleeps beside our bed every night and is dearly loved in this house! As always, she has is Pennhip and OFA certified, and been tested for over 250 genetic diseases.
