Happy THIRD Birthday to our first Copper and Maddie litter!!! 🥳 These 6 munchkins are living their best lives with amazing families! Please spoil these little puppers with extra love and treats today 🥰 PLEASE send us updates! We love seeing how everyone is doing!

Andee (Miss Violet 💜)
Maddie Jr (Miss Rose 🩷)
Forester (Mr Teal 💚)
Maverick (Mr Navy Blue 💙)
Kona (Mr White 🤍)
Bear (Mr Tan 🤎)

The last photo is little Maddie today. She is starting to get gray and we HATE IT! As much as we would LOVE another litter with her, now is just not the time with our personal lives. We do not have plans for any litters for the remainder of the year.

This is little Maverick- he is from our second Maddie and Copper litter. Maverick’s parents have become great friends of ours over the last 3 years. They have helped us raise litters since our hours have changed and require us to be away from home for longer periods of time. I honestly don’t know two better people with strong family values and just overall genuine and amazing character. Maverick’s dad, Chris, was recently diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. No one, especially a 43 year-old, should ever have to endure such a terrible disease. There is a go-fund-me circulating around that we thought we would share. Please consider donating. Any small amount helps this wonderful family through this challenging time. We donated through PayPal directly to them since GoFundMe does take a small fee. If you’re interested in directly donating, please reach out to me and I would be happy to provide you with that information.

Happy 3rd Birthday 🎂 to our sweet, cuddly, spunky, underwater swimming and unique Rosie!! Rosie has been one of the most stubborn goldens we have ever had. She spent over 9 weeks in training (usually our dogs spend 3). She has destroyed walls (bc she was bored). She’s broken a canine off bc she hates crates. She randomly caught rabbits and a bat flying around outside 😳. Over the last year Rosie has made a complete 180 and really calmed down. Rosie is by far our best behaved golden in public. So much that Rosie and Maddie will begin therapy dog training in the near future. We are so proud of Rosie and how far she has come. Sometimes the puppy golden stage can be hard but just remember that with solid training, patience and time it gets better.

We recently made a trip to Moffitt Cancer Center and while there we met Deuce, a therapy golden. When speaking to Deuce’s owner, she said when he was a puppy he was awful and he got his name Deuce bc he was a “little sh*t” as a puppy 😂. The last photo on the post is Deuce. Such an amazing, well behaved, calm pup greeting cancer patients to make their day just a little better. Rosie is the next Deuce and we couldn’t be more proud of this birthday girl 🎉

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁 🎉 to our sweet Bella! Bella turned 7 today! Oh how does time fly. Bella is such a sweet soul who LOVES to chase squirrels and lizards. She loves people and loves to be with her parents as much as possible. One of the best things about the light goldens is that they don’t get gray. In usual fashion, we will have a party and ice cream for Bella later 🥰

Congrats to sweet Brady boy on ANOTHER title! Today he earned his intermediate fetch title (FTI). Brady was supposed to earn this title a month ago but he got disqualified for peeing on the course 🤣😂🤪 He was a good boy and redeemed himself today. We are so proud of him!

Pupdate! Today we got a fun visit from Skye (Ms Black 🖤) from Maddie’s second litter. Skye is just over 2 years old. She loves to swim and is such a calm little happy go lucky girl. Pictured in the photo is Maddie (left) and Skye (right) in between the excitement of reuniting with each other 🥰

Congrats to our sweet sweet Brady boy on earning ANOTHER title! Today Brady participated in the AKC Fetch title event, earning his novice title: FTN. Tomorrow he will work on his intermediate title 🥇🥰

From Brady’s first jump in the pool at 8 months old to now (yes that’s really him and his first jump!). So proud of this little man on earning his first dock diving title so effortlessly and at senior level! We had such a fun weekend at Bratty Paws in Punta Gorda. Brady is a natural driven athlete and has had very little dock diving training. We plan on starting lessons so he can learn the proper way to dock dive and hopefully work on increasing his jumping distance. Brady will also be working on his trick titles soon! 🥇 If you have any interest in getting your dogs into sports, we recommended checking out Bratty Paws in Punta Gorda. It’s clean, well run and has a lot of nice people there.

Congrats to our sweet Brady boy for earning another title! This is his first dock diving title!

This was Brady’s first time competing in dock diving. He surpassed the novice and junior divisions because his jumps were so good! He earned a Senior DS title today with a best jump of 16 feet 5 inches!

We are so proud of him! He is such a good boy!

Brady is on the train to his next crazy adventure…. Dock Diving!! We can’t wait to see him progress and earn a bunch of titles 🥰 His best jump today was 16 feet!

Congrats to our Brady boy for earning his BCAT title!! Brady has such a strong drive for the fast cat sport! Now we move on to dock diving 🥰

05/16/2025

The pups did more Fast Cat runs today! Brady is a rock star and had his best run yet at 8.98 seconds! If all goes well, he should earn his title tomorrow!Maddie on the other hand 😂… Well let’s just say Maddie is much better at cuddling😂😂 She did get a participation ribbon for her “fun run” though😂😆 Video of both their runs today. Unfortunately, Rosie has a UTI and sitting the weekend out.
