Q. & A. with Dena
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to breed our dogs when a friend approached us with the idea. We want to continue a pure, healthy, well-mannered bloodline that will allow each dog and their new family to grow together and make beautiful new memories for a long time. We can provide healthy, happy family dogs and fully enriched puppies because of it. A bonus has been, making the friendships we have with the new families.What makes your program special?
We spend over 30 hours with our 9-week program puppies and around 100 hours with our extended program puppies. They see, hear, feel, experience and socialize as much as they can to ensure you get a confident puppy that is ready to join your world. We work on leash, potty and crate training. From 4 weeks on they get to play and explore the world around them outside with us - rain or shine.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Corizone, dad
Golden Retriever
About Corizone
Corizone is an energetic field type golden with the ability to be gentle, calm, and sweet at the same time. He aims to please 100% of the time. He loves having a job. Whether finding a hidden toy, chasing leaves down the river, or just running as fast as he can go, Corizone puts his whole heart into it. He is super sensitive, and is the one to recognize when someone is upset, or if our son's blood sugar has dropped. He is exceptional in every way.

River, mom
Golden Retriever
About River
River has the kindest and most gentle soul. She is like an innocent child. She loves to play and run and just be happy. Then she likes to come sit next to you and hold your hand. She is so strong and agile. Instead of agility like her husband, she would do great in bird hunting or therapy. She searches with that nose amd has caught a few birds just messing around.
