Puppy Love!

The "Golden" Family Album of happy owners...

Rusty and his owner Keegan Gardner

A smiling young man and a smiling dog, this picture illustrates why I raise Golden Retrievers.  To be able to bring this kind of happiness between a dog and his owner is my one and only mission in raising these wonderful dogs.

 Baxter - Owned by Jeff & Connie     Nault

“Baxter the Boater” joined our family in September 2007 and quickly became “our baby”.  He immediately became my “office dog” and goes with me to work and job sites everyday.  We are big boaters and wanted to initiate him right away so last fall we had a couple of outings on the boat and he did great.  This spring was the real test and Baxter has lived up to his name.  He loves the boat and the water.  With his sweet disposition and his interest and excitement in everything new, Baxter has captured our hearts and we are so happy to have him as a part of our family!

Here are some pictures of our great baby Gator.  Bringing him into our family has been one of the best decisions we have made; thank you so much for choosing us as his family!  He is an outstanding dog and all of our neighbors are jealous.  One of the nice things about living in the city is that he has been extremely well socialized with both people and dogs....he's been nicknamed the neighborhood's "happiest puppy" because he's always smiling.  He has a great disposition and is great with kids, in case your future parents want to know.  He's also a superstar at his new puppy daycare, and surely will be the dog of the month soon.  We love him to death.  In case your clients want to know, he was potty-trained in 1 week.  Woohoo Gator!!!

Luke today 

Luke is growing so fast.  We have so much fun with him, and Luke and Jacob love to chase each other around the yard.  We've already taught Luke to sit, lay down, No, and potty on command.  He is such a smart and fun puppy.

Trooper - Owned by Jim & Barb Hicks

Jim weighed him yesterday and he's at 11.8 pounds so he seems to be growing nicely.... Getting LOTS of exercise outside and going everywhere with Jim..... on his trips to the store, in our John Deere Gator to feed the horses (I fashioned a wire "door" on the passenger side of the Gator so he can not get out without Jim's assistance.) He plays REALLY hard and then comes inside and crashes hard. No matter hard he is playing, as soon as you pick him up, he snuggles right in!

Max - Owned by Katie Staice

Hello! Thought I would share some pictures with you guys! Max is growing so fast but he has been such a joy to my family and I. Im sure I will have more pictures as the summer goes on because we love playing outside, especially in the water! Thanks so much for giving us such a perfect little companion!

Buddy - Owned by Keith, Mary & Breana Clark Ruby - Owned by Anna & Dave Torpe

Ruby was such a trooper on the way home, slept nearly all of the 5 hours home! We took her to meet her "cousin" Molly who is a 3 year old Golden and they just had the best time playing. Her first night was a breeze, went to bed at 9 and slept until 6 without a sound :) She has been so much fun and we just love her already.

London - Owned by Rich & Beth Cummo

Things are great with London.  He's such a sweetie!  We love him.  We were walking in the park across the street from us and met Gator!  They had so much fun playing with each other.  We all thought it was pretty funny that they live so close to each other. We are planning on letting them play together often.  Thanks again for taking such good care of London, we're thrilled with him.

Baxter (#2) - Owned by Nellie Spitzner

Here are some new pics of me and my baby.  He is  just a sweetheart and I love him dearly.  We call him the lovehound as he just wants to be loved on all the time.  Every morning I go in and hug him and kiss him all over his face and head and, when I stop he pats me with his paw and sticks his head down again so I will do it some more.  What a way to start the day!  My boyfriend loves him as much as I do so he will always have a great life.  Thanks so much for my sweet baby.

Baxter (#2) and Joselyn

Lucy - Owned by Jennifer Simpson and sons Grant & Evan

Lucy is doing great. She has a fascination with electrical cords and leaves. She just found out a few minutes ago I have a shedding hibiscus tree indoors, so she can collect leaves out- AND inside.  By the way, you can see from the 2nd and 3rd photos where she slept last night!

Chloe - Owned by Steven Boswell & Mindy McCollum

Attached are a few pictures of our pup. She has been absolutely amazing so far. She was already running to the door to be let out by the second night. I couldn't believe she picked up on that so fast. There have been a couple accidents here and there but other than that she has been basically perfect. She sleeps through the night for the most part as well. Hopefully we'll be able to bring her by this summer.

Thanks again,

Steve Boswell, Mindy McCollum, and Chloe
