    Renee was so helpful through the whole process. She provided everything we needed to feel confident in working with them...answered unending questions, let us meet the puppy parents and puppies via Zoom, took careful consideration of what we were looking for in a dog, sent weekly updates on what the puppies were doing and learning, sent pictures, and even started training the puppies. We learned a lot about the ISU Vet Med Breeding Program and were thrilled to hear what great care they take of their dogs. We love our little pup already! She is calm and quiet, yet is curious and likes to play. She is the perfect temperament. Whispering Pines Precious Puppies has our whole-hearted recommendation!

    We brought Axel (formerly Kingston) home over a year and a half ago, and he has completely transformed our lives. From the very beginning, it was clear that he came from a thoughtful, well-planned breeding program. He’s everything we could have hoped for in a Golden Retriever—healthy, happy, highly intelligent, and incredibly affectionate. Axel has grown into a confident, gentle, and intuitive dog. He’s just as happy exploring the outdoors as he is snuggled up beside us at home. He’s wonderful with children and other animals, learns new things quickly, and has a calm, steady presence that makes him a joy to be around. The entire process of working with Renee & Sarah was seamless. You can tell how much care and intention goes into raising each puppy, and that foundation shows in Axel every single day. I’m so grateful we found our way to them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly exceptional Golden Retriever.

    Renee and Sarah (Whispering Pines Precious Puppies) were exceptional to communicate with throughout the process to add our golden retriever puppy, Eden, to our family. They were quickly responsive to our questions and were very kind to provide pictures and videos of Eden and personal updates as she grew. They walked us through all of the medical tasks they would take care of for Eden before we picked her up. They also explained Eden's parents, Summer and Henry's, personalities, backgrounds, and history of their health. When we arrived to meet Renee and Sarah and receive Eden to take her home, we found the puppies and the puppies' parents to be healthy and well-loved. Both Renee and Sarah helped toilet train the puppies before we picked up Eden - which was extremely helpful for us. They explained the next steps we needed to take for Eden. We were even given samples of food and treats for Eden. We enjoyed Renee and Sarah so much, that we spent the rest of the day with them and the other puppies. We wouldn't be surprised if both Renee and Sarah were really angels from God! Many thanks Renee and Sarah!

    We adore our golden retriever pup we bought from Renee. Her and her daughter were amazing about communicating with us before we picked up our girl, Sandy. The pick-up process went so smoothly, and they gave us some food, blanket, paperwork, etc. Sandy's transition to her home with us went very smoothly. We will definitely consider working with Renee again. We have recommended her to many other families!
