Q. & A. with Darlene
Why did you start breeding?
I had a very special toy Aussie. She was smart and loyal. Friends wanted a dog just like my Gem who now has retired to the position of "Grandma dog" I added Golden retriever to my program to positively impact the physical and emotional well being of veterans and disabled individualsWhat makes your program special?
All dogs have access to run and play on my fenced 5 acre property. They also have a secure place to welp in an inside climate controlled kennel each indoor kennel adjoins a separate outdoor kennel that is 12 x 24 . this is where they are confined for safety when I am not inn direct supervisionWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri and red merle. Golden Retriever puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

I so enjoyed working with Darlene. She is knowledgeable about the puppies and responsive to all my questions and there were quite a few! I chose Gracie (aka Candy) because my previous dog of 16 years was a red merle, mini aussie. Thought I would try a toy aussie this time. Gracie is growing so fast; and learning even faster. After one week she is getting the idea of the kennel (crate) and should be housetrained shortly. This puppy and I are growing together. Thank you, Darlene, and Good Dog for giving us the chance.

Hello everyone. I have a wonderful puppy, happy, healthy and very handsome. He is so much a part of the family already he stole all of our hearts. The experience between Darlene and I was so easy and pleasant. Received true full information on all the puppies and she helped me pick the perfect one. Darlene even delivered the baby right to me, because she was coming this way, so I didn't have to drive almost eight hours. She very kind to do this . Puppy loves his blanket from his family. I see him carry it around once in awhile. He is just what I wanted. PERFECT in everyway. Thank you. I'm so glad we found each other. I'll be sending photos soon.
