What’s better than a day in the field? A day in the field and a Barkersons delivery when we got home!
This was Lizzy first water retrieve and her first swim… retrieve, in the bag; Swimming, needs some work! 🤣

It’s very important to me that my girls are sound, both from a temperament and physical point of view. I believe in the trifecta of testing, showing confirmation and trial in obedience and sport. While puppy families will often tell me that they don’t want a show dog and/or don’t plan to title their dog; which is fine, it’s important to me that I show, trial and work my dogs so that I know that I’m giving the puppies my girls produce the best chance at having a happy, sound, healthy life. I want to know that, whether our pups are beloved pets or working dogs; either way they are capable.
One of the things I’ve always wanted to do and learn is field work. Golden retrievers were originally bred as gun dogs, and it really does show of their intelligence, obedience, temperament and structure. If you ever get an opportunity to watch a dog retrieve in the field, do it! It will amaze you to watch these dogs work.
Through no fault of their own, my girls have not had a lot of opportunity to do fieldwork. When the opportunity presents itself, it reminds me of just how amazing these dogs are. There’s just something about a dog doing what it was bred for, watching their natural instincts come out… I’m just always amazed and feel blessed to have these beautiful dogs in my life.
It’s not a great video, but it does show Lucy and I learning together, at the very beginning stages of us learning to retrieve as a team. Lizzie is coming along too but I couldn’t get a second video to post.
Thank you to my friends Mary and Adrianne for all your help and support! This gives me such joy!!!

SWEETEST THING EVER!!
Cooper getting a bath… looks tortured… NOT! 🥹

These two crack me up! When Lizzy (dark golden)came along and stayed; Tallulah(light golden) took a long time to come around. Lizzy tormented her! Chewed her ears and pulled her tail and Tallulah resisted! Then, last year when Lucy went off to be bred; they only had each other. Tallulah gave in and they have been besties ever since! ♥️🐾♥️
Now who’s the painful pup??

This morning, I am grateful.
I am grateful for my children who support my dream of this kennel and help out with cleaning, shopping, emotional support and driving. ♥️ Mercedes Ascui, Nic Ascui, Em Ascui
I am grateful for my dear friend, Julie Raddysh who came back for a second time to support me during whelping. She is also our kennels, official babysitter, when I need to get out of the house, and puppy wrangler for our professional picture day. I could not do what I do without her support.
I am also so very grateful and proud to support some amazing Canadian companies who have supported my breeding program through their fabulous products and amazing customer service. A huge thank you to Coastal Raw Dog Food, PetTech Solutions - Premier Breeding Devices, Barkersons, and Mahalo Veterinary Hospital. (Dr. Emily and Vet Tech Christina saw the pups yesterday and gave them a full bill of health!)
Last but not least Thank you to Jorja Portraits (Angela Eaves Photography) for capturing all my little nuggets in still memories I will cherish for ever!
Full of gratitude!! ♥️🐾♥️

🩷💚💙🖤 The Fab 4 are moving on up to their Big Puppy Pen at 3 weeks and 3 days old. ♥️🐾♥️ We will have them in their new pen during the day, for the next few days until they’re ready to sleep there on their own. I’m not quite ready to give up nighttimes with them just yet!!
