Looks like an inherited trait for sure!

Meet, Whiskey, a pup from Poppy x Red who has his daddy's smile 😁

Our Sky girl, one half of our amazing performance line. We love watching her offspring title before they even hit age 1! One is titled in AKC scent tracking, one has titled in HRC hunt testing, several in obedience and several are service dog prospects.

What a beauty our Poppy girl is! We should be confirming our first litter of 2025 between Poppy and Red very soon!

Rooster has started his training, he was doing very well with the "hold" command today as we worked on a table, this boy is one to watch!

Fetch, you say? How about a log, I don't have time for mere sticks.

That's our boy, Red.

Poppy and Red have been paired again for an early 2025 litter!

We are really excited about this and all of those who got a pup from this pairing in 2024 have had wonderful things to say about this match.

Hello sweet Poppy girl! We hope to be welcoming a Poppy x Red litter early 2025.

Look at that girl! Miss Sky

HR Stormy Hill's Red Sky CGC.

We kept two of her girls and though we normally train our own hunt test dogs we had to call in some help just do to our current season of life being exceptionally busy. Two of Sky x Red pups are currently down in Alabama and we can't wait to see how they progress this winter in anticipation of our upcoming spring hunt test season!

It's just that kind of day

Meet our current crew...

Our current breeding program consists of these three girls and our infamous stud, Red (far right)

L-R Stella, Sky, Poppy & Red

Stormy Hill's Stella Luna CGC, THDN is one half of what we refer to as our therapy line. Both Stella and Red are certified therapy dogs who are also titled through AKC for their therapy work.

HR Stormy Hill's Red Sky CGC is one half of what we refer to as our performance line. Between Sky and Red is a collective of over 10 generations of hunt titled magnificent dogs who demonstrate the magnificence that working Goldens were bred for.

Stormy Hill's Sunday Morning Poppy CGC is our midline active family companion who is only one pass shy of her entry level hunt test title and who is also titled in obedience. When paired with our boy, Red, there is no greater compliment of an all purpose Golden.

HR Stormy Hill's Red Thunder CGC, THDN is the most versatile dog we have ever owned. He is 100mph when working in the field, swimming and retrieving. At home he is 100% a lover and has the off switch of perfection that also allows him to be the favorite at our local nursing homes for his therapy workl.

What does lifetime breeder support mean?

What that means is you have an extra layer of expertise on your side.

You have an advice giver, a suggestion offerer, a listening ear, a resource and a fellow Golden lover in your pocket.

We do not claim to know it all but with over 30 years of dog training/handling experience as well as having whelped and raised quite a few litters, we do know a little something.

One of the many things we offer to our puppy families is that we will be there as a resource. Always.

Once a puppy goes home with their new family we have ways for them to keep in touch with littermates as well as us personally so that if an issue arises we can help. We have researched questions, collaborated on ideas, offered training advice and so much more to the many families we have come in contact with.

The fact is, a good breeder is interacting with their dogs and their dog's puppies for an insane amount of hours. We know the quirks, preferences, strengths and tips to help you and we should always be willing to share that information.

Confident and good breeders should all be offering this to their families they work with. Offering to not only ALWAYS be available in the unfortunate event that a dog would ever need to be rehomed but also to be there to offer advice.
