We breed our retrievers for health and temperament. Health tested parents. AKC registered. We focus on the working dog.

Our goldens are raised in our home where they are well socialized and can start forming good manners. We are selective in our breedings, choosing only dogs that have gained their health clearances through the OFA and other organizations such as Optigen. Our studs are selected for their health, and their ability to perform. Most commonly the stud dogs we use in our program compete in hunt tests and

field trials. Our girls are first and foremost our beloved pets, we do train and compete in rally and agility. Our dogs have beautiful deep red coats that are lightly feathered, they are truly drip dry dogs. Our dogs have high drive and really want a job to do. They have high energy requirements but are lovable, relaxed house pets with proper exercise. Our dogs are very intelligent and can be trained for any type of work. We have several that work as therapy dogs, many are hunting companions, one competes in tracking events. These dogs enjoy learning and working with their humans. We are not a kennel, we do not have a "facility" our girls live in our home with us and have free access indoors & out. We only breed each female twice so our litters are infrequent. We are selective in who we place our puppies with, if you are interested in more information please send me an email for our adoption questionnaire.

I have puppy fever today.
I really wish our Crue x Lucy breeding this fall had been successful. They would have been 4 weeks old, one of my favorite stages.
🤞🤞Let's keep those fingers crossed for 2 successful spring litters🤞🤞

First hike without Gracie. She was my partner. We had the same speed and she always checked in with me. My other 2, Cash & Gemma love running, so I hardly see them on our hikes. They take off and come back to check in once in awhile.
I really miss my buddy. She would have loved this one.

Last Friday we unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our girl Gracie. She was always the sweetest and most easy going girl. That's one of the reasons her registered name was "Anything Goes Gracie". We were together for just over 14 years, from the moment she was born right next to me, to the moment she left this earth. 14 years is a wonderfully long life for a golden but it still doesn't feel like enough.
Gracie was happy and spry and seemingly healthy right up until the end. The day we lost her she did over a mile in the woods with me and the other dogs. It was her favorite thing. But I knew something wasn't right and at her vet visit later in the day they confirmed my suspicions. She had formed very rapidly, a tumor on her spleen. It had not been there 6 months ago at her check up. We weren't going to let her suffer just so we selfishly could keep her with us. We had to say goodbye. No bad days.
We really miss her. She lived in 4 different homes with us, raised our babies with us, helped us raise almost 150 golden pups, was with me every step of each new business I started and said goodbye to. In all 14 years we only spent about 20 nights apart.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Miss you Gracie girl

What does your golden like to do in the woods?
Cash digs up critters, Gemma runs, and Gracie sniffs every passing twig.

Chief tried dock diving for the first time Sunday.
He loves the water!
He had fun and jumped just over 13ft.
Good boy Chief!

We had fun cheering on Echo yesterday at Seacoast DockDogs up at Sunday River.
Shewas a little hesitant her first jump but her second jump she had a lot of fun.
Way to go Echo!!

If you're headed up there today keep an eye out, she might be jumping today too.

**update**
Unfortunately Lucy isn't pregnant. We just had too many obstacles during the breeding that we didn't overcome. I was really hopeful for just a few pups, or a small litter would come through .
😔 I'm sad.

🤞🤞🤞today is Lucy's ultrasound 🤞🤞🤞

In the quiet mornings after I drop the kids off at school I drink my coffee in the sun while the dogs play on the lawn.

Boys and their dog

You call them puppies...I call them alligators

Baby carrots are very entertaining

Every dog not visible in the video is trying to chew my legs and feet off. So please enjoy my sacrifice.

Echo has pep in her step today. The infection is gone and the dead mammary gland is gone. Now she just needs to heal up. The vet thinks in about 10-14 days she should look close to "normal".

🎶Who let the dogs out??🎶
