Our story began almost 7 years ago, after I lost my very first Golden Retriever of 12 years, Daisy. My beautiful girl was from a backyard breeder that placed an ad in the Times- Picayune Newspaper. At the time, I didn’t have a clue what issues plagued Golden Retrievers and what was to come of her health in the future. She had itchy scaly skin (Ichthyosis) and poor baby was allergic to everything! She suffered from one ear infection after another. Later in life she began developing hematoma’s in her ear pads, requiring over 6 surgeries until finally I made the drastic decision to have the ear pads removed all together as a final ditch effort to stop the hematomas and surgeries. After she passed, I was determined to find a better bred dog with genetic testing, clearances and that would excel in any venue. After several months and contacting countless “reputable breeders,” I was pointed to Kelli Mullen of Rhythm’s Goldens. She became my mentor in what to look for, where to go and basically my everything regarding Golden Retrievers. We searched for several more months and although I was put on several lists, they all fell through for one reason or another. I decided to wait for her next liter which was totally worth the wait!
Rhythm’s So Bee It ~ SoBe🐝, was born, co-owned together with Kelli, we have accomplished so much! I now have my first Champion in Conformation and Barn Hunt! SoBe has also produced 3 beautiful liters out of Grand Champion sires. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
