"Goldens take your heart, and cherish it. They walk with it, and sleep with it, and they will never let it out of their sight and when it's their time, they will take a little piece of it with them to remember you by and leave a piece for you to remember them by." Author unknown |
"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring -- it was peace." Milan Kundera |

This web site is dedicated to all the wonderful Goldens we have know during the years either owned by us or our friends and acquaintances. My first Golden friend was named Ginger and I have to admit it was love at first sight. We met during an obedience club meeting and if I close my eyes, I can feel the weight of her head on my lap and see her big brown soulful eyes staring at me. I knew at that exact moment I had to have a Golden and my search for a puppy began immediately. One year later I was completely owned by a female Golden, Farview's Butterscotch Sundae, and as they say the rest is history. We have been involved with Golden Retrievers for twenty-five years and were fortunate to have owned some wonderful dogs. Over the years, we have purchased several Goldens from breeders with exemplary reputations and were never disappointed as each new puppy was added to our canine family. I currently own three female Goldens, Tootsie who I bred, Anna, and Diva who are from Jansun Goldens. As you search for your new addition do your homework because your new puppy will be part of your family for many years. Golden puppies are adorable, but are not angels and require a structured environment and training to enable them to become a well-behaved member of your household. If you value your landscaped yard, those new leather shoes, hate dog hair, then Goldens are not for you. If you want a gentle loving companion, find yourself a well-bred puppy and take your time to investigate the breeder you are purchasing your puppy. You will find more in depth information on my Links page under Before You Purchase Your Golden Retriever. This is a must read for any one planning to add a Golden to their family. |
