About Willow
Willow (LPG’s Sparkling Willow by the Lake) has a resplendent dark golden color with a straight, silky coat, and we particularly love that she hardly sheds. She is very birdy and would choose to be in the water all day if she could. While she is primarily a family pet, Willow is extremely inquisitive, athletic, confident, driven and eager to please. She also has a great on/off switch which makes her great for both indoor living and outdoor activities.
Willow is a quiet, patient, gentle dog that absolutely loves her people. She loves to retrieve and easily learns new tricks.
She is around 55 lbs. and stands approximately 22 in. tall.

Carrie was amazing! She and her whole family do seem to really love the puppies that they breed. Their website, Facebook and Instagram are very well kept. Also her response time is great!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
