Q. & A. with Maliah
What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program special is our commitment to quality over quantity. We only breed one litter at a time, ensuring each puppy receives full attention, hands-on care, and one-on-one socialization. Our puppies are raised with intention, structure, and love, not as a backyard breeding operation, but with the goal of sending confident, well-prepared puppies home.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.

Litter and program updates
Maliah W.
Litter update on 28 Jan •…We still have 5 pups unregistered from this past litter with their new owners. PLEASE make sure to register your pup by end of February or we will be registering them ourselves! It is important for us to make sure everyone gets finalized in the database! I emailed another copy if prior links or paperwork was lost. We were hoping to have Corbin at home with us the last couple of weeks to give his parents a break but the girls are still in heat so we are pushing that off for now. Bentley has been semi-enjoying his time away and inside separated but very confused why he is not with his now retired girlfriend lol! Hopefully the girls are finishing up their cycles so we can get Leilani on the schedule for her spay and Corbin home for his prelims at the clinic. We hope everyone is doing well and staying out of this cold! 🥶

Program update on 05 Jan •Everyone has officially went home! Thank you to everyone who trusted us and welcomed one of our LB pups into their lives. We hope they bring a lifelong of happiness! Leilani is set to be spayed in the next month and Avery will have her final OFAs done towards end of February! We are so blessed and we are so excited for what’s to come. ❤️

Litter update on 19 Dec 2025 •One thing I wish didn’t happen while having the babies home.. rain 😅 Everybody got blew dry after coming inside. Last baths will happen this coming week before everyone starts to head home! We are some tired “grand-pup-parents” that’s for sure!

Litter update on 16 Dec 2025 •…With the freezing temps, the babies only want to stay out max 15 minutes before coming back on the steps but I am so proud of them the last 2 days! No 💩 accidents outside of the trays and we have minimal usage going on. Our sitter didn’t tuck the pads enough today after lunch drop in and despite that, we still had little mess to clean up. We are waiting on their Heartgard to come in and they will be receiving their first dose of that before going home. Final Hill’s Science food order was made to send home with a few days worth in case anyone would like to switch although we highly recommend keeping the pups on the large breed puppy formula until they are at least a year old. We recommend feeding a lamb or beef diet over chicken. As much as these brands primarily advertise chicken, it is not the healthiest choice for the babies! Finished our litter registration today and also accidently added a “12th” sibling that does not exist 😅 hopefully AKC will correct that tomorrow. We hope everyone is staying warm! ⛄️

Litter update on 13 Dec 2025 •Baths done ✅ We are ready for our appointment tomorrow! We are just now getting settled down here. After our appointment, we will do photos and update each ad on Good Dog. We will do picks Sunday to give everyone time to review and choose! I was hoping to have time today to get photos done but we are just now getting to dinner. Make sure to look out for a text Sunday to all our new pup parents! 🥰

Litter update on 12 Dec 2025 •…First night with much more space! Crossing fingers we still have a clean pen in the morning or we are going to have to reduce it 🙏 Ryan had a bit of a disaster coming home with 4 pups loose on the floor after our sitter who comes after lunch accidentally left the opening uncovered and they managed to push their way out. It was time to expand but we’ve had a couple of accidents already with the confusion of a new space. Adjusted the potty area to the floor where they are tending to go and hoping for the best in the am! We have another tray & grate on the way to compensate if needed. We are officially in the “chaos” stage of things and introducing our new routine of learning to go outside right after breakfast/dinner. This is the worst part for us but the best learning for the pups in my opinion! Lani has cut down to nursing 2-3x a day and even that little, she only wants to be with her babies for max 10 minutes!

Litter update on 04 Dec 2025 •Hard to believe in less than a month, our sweet babies will be going off to their new homes. I hate to jinx things right now but these beans have been by far the easiest and cleanest litter!

Litter update on 02 Dec 2025 •Sorry to all for the lack of updates but we had a busy Thanksgiving weekend! All the babies started on starter feed yesterday. We will introduce soaked puppy food next week. Debated on opening up the box today for more room but some are missing the potty area by an inch so until we have it down, I will wait! We usually would introduce short breaks outside but it has been too chilly. They are growing like weeds and all doing amazing! Hopefully, we will be able to get one on one photos this Wednesday. 🙏

About Lani (retired)
Leilani is our special girl. If there is a heart dog, she is the definition of it. Just about everything she knows, she picked up on her own. I am sure when you come visit, if there is a ball in site, she will bring it up to you to play fetch. She adores swimming, helping out on the farm, she even picked up a herding trait to help me get the horses up when needed!

Bentley, dad
Golden Retriever
About Bentley
Bentley is our biggest and sweetest boy! He rather sit by your feet than chase the ball with his housemates. He is very affectionate like most goldens and meets no stranger. Although he occasionally gets the zoomies, he is very much a well mannered and calm boy. Bentley has the desired conformation and personality creating beautiful and calm demeanor puppies.

Maliah was great! Always fast with responding to any questions during the entire process. My schedule can be hectic and they were great working with me when it came time for pickup. She also did an amazing job with the litter updates. Can't suggest her highly enough. Wonderful during the entire process!
