Golden Retriever
About Tessa
Tessa is from one of my breedings, and I picked her as a keeper for my program practically from day 1. She clearly stood out as nice bitch early on. Her personality and disposition equally convinced me that I needed to keep her. I never looked back, and she has never let me down. She is a total sweetheart, gentle and kind, happy to play, but loves to snuggle anytime. Wonderful with everyone she meets, and smart as a whip. This is her first litter and I am beyond excited. I expect beautiful, alert and intelligent puppies, with cream coats, excellent conformation, and wonderful temperments. Two of her littermates are currently in training as therapy dogs, one for Cerebral Palsy patients and the other with PTSD patients. Both of their trainers have mentioned that they are quick learners and the perfect temperment for working with patients.
Excellent health testing

About Poppy

Anne has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
