Ruby and Chloe have earned their CGC titles!

Congratulations to Ruby and Chloe for passing their AKC Canine Good Citizen test yesterday and both earning their CGC title! They passed with flying colors despite us waiting at the park bathrooms for a short, but intense rain and thunderstorm to pass. They are both such sweet girls and we are so proud of them! Thank you Jim and Dina at Wallace K9 Training center for being so wonderful πŸ™‚

Family Updates

It is crazy to think Summer is just a few weeks away! Every time I post a family update I am shocked at how much time has passed since the last one. Everyone is doing wonderful and we are looking forward to two summer litters this year from Calle and Ruby. In the meantime we are doing some additions to our main puppy room in the house that we are very excited about! I have received so many pictures from our wonderful families and would like to share some of them in this post. There are so many on my facebook page that I cannot get them all on the website.  Please take the time to go and see all the great updates. It is so much fun to see how the puppies and big doggies are doing and how beautiful they have become πŸ™‚ For now here are some of the recent updates!

Our puppies are very smart and love to learn!!

Hi Christine,

It’s Heather Clark with Finley in Pennsylvania. She is such a sweetheart. She

loves my patients and often comes out for a visit. Some people even have her on

their laps while getting work done as a comfort. Finley is amazing with my 3 year

old son, Liam. She puts up with him chasing her around. Thank you for such a

precious puppy. Can’t believe she is almost 3 as well

Hi Christine,

 

We hope all is well! We currently love Woodford, a a two-year old golden from Calle

and AngusÒ€ℒ litter, and we noticed that Calle and Angus have another litter with

puppy pick-up in September. We would absolutely love to have another golden and a

Ò€œsiblingÒ€ for Woodford in our family. We are already so blessed with Woodford- he is

such a sweet, gentle, loving dog. If you have any availability, we are certainly

wishing you do! Most of all, many thanks again for such a sweet boy, Woodford! He is truly our baby!

Woodford

Hi Gracie is now 2 and is a complete joy. We love her to pieces.

Hi Christine!

 

Just wanted to send you an update on Max, son of Mac and I believe the mom was

Sarah. We wanted to let you know today is Max’s Birthday, he turned 4 years old!

He is still our baby of course, and to tell you the truth, the best dog in this

universe, no doubt. πŸ˜‰ I’m including a few pictures of him, our Birthday Boy Max!

Take care! You Rock! I’m always referring you to everyone I know…. Everyone

falls in love with Max and always ask! I’m not even kidding!

Have a great weekend!!!!

Best Regards, Nigaglioni Family.

Good morning! Happy one week being empty nesters! Sammy is doing fabulous! He’s so

smart, loving, and playful! We like spending most of our free time outside in the

back yard trying to wear this puppy out as he is just full of energy! We couldn’t be

happier with him! We are looking forward to Wednesday when Sammy can finally meet

Hello! I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Gunner to show you how beautiful

Litters

Glory’s babies are all in their new homes!

It is sooo quiet in the house! Two months of caring for the two litters and I cannot believe it is over already. Over for me… but just beginning for all of the wonderful families that have a new baby at home πŸ™‚ Three from this litter were returning for their second golden. I know they will all be loved very much and I look forward to updates to see how they grow. Now empty nest for us until fall…

2015-02-08_0001

7 week update! We are almost there with only one week to go! The puppies are absolutely adorable and doing wonderful. They are so playful and full of life and when you pick them up they just turn to mush πŸ™‚ We will enjoy our last week with them before we are empty nested for awhile. The time goes by so incredibly fast! Enjoy the video of a tug o war match and watch to the end to see who wins!

Glory 7 weeks

6 week update! We had a great time of visitation with the puppies and meeting new families this weekend. The puppies are doing great on potty training and are more active every day. They were so tired from all of the company this weekend that several people just thought they slept all of the time πŸ™‚ I made a short video to show that they do not just sleep all the time! My updates are shorter at this point because most have seen their puppies and we are so busy taking care of them that out time is consumed by the babies. Here is what people think they do all of the time…Here is what I see… πŸ™‚

5 week update! The puppies are doing great and have changed so much this past week. They are very active and playful now.  They are interested in everything that is going on around them and want to be a part of the action! Enjoy seeing the individual faces of the bunch in the video. Visitation is only 1 week away!!

Glory’s puppies are 4 weeks old!  We are now halfway to the 8 week point! Everyone is doing wonderful and growing fast.  They are already starting to use the papers like good babies πŸ™‚ They are also eating real food now and really enjoying it. They took to the Life’s Abundance immediately and licked the dish clean πŸ™‚ I hope you enjoy the video!

Glory’s puppies are 3 weeks old! I think with Christmas and New Years the time has gone by extra fast. The puppies are getting bigger and more active every day beginning to play and explore their surroundings. It is so fun to watch them begin to play with one another. As the video shows, they nurse with Glory standing most of the time now πŸ™‚ Enjoy!

Glory had her beautiful, BIG babies Saturday night!  Glory did amazing and is taking great care of her babies. She is enjoying her homemade chicken and rice meals too πŸ™‚ Everyone is settled in and resting after an all night event. You will notice that one of the puppies is green in the photo. That is just from the green fluid from the birthing process and will fade soon. It really looks bright with the flash on the camera! All of these pups are spoken for πŸ™‚

Rain + Dirt = Mud and Fun!

Angus and Glory had a big time this afternoon out front in the water and mud after all of the babies left the nest. They ran through puddles, played tag around the trees, pulled palm branches out of the burn pile, and had fun in the dirt!

Cotton’s puppies have left the nest!

8 week update! All of the puppies have gone to their new homes. It is a bittersweet time for us as we have spent much time loving and caring for them. At the same time, we know how ready they are for the individual attention they need and to bond with their new families. This is the last post for this litter, so here are the wonderful new families with their new babies!

7 week update! Cotton’s puppies go home this coming weekend! I cannot believe we are here already. They are doing amazing and are full of life πŸ™‚ While we are finishing weaning Cotton, we let “Aunt Ruby” come in and spend time with the pups. She runs and plays with them and then lies down and lets them crawl all over her. She is a such a patient, sweet girl. This gives the pups some extra socialization with a dog other than their mom and helps with the weaning process. As I said with Glory’s update, My posts are shorter since we have had visitation and we are very busy now!!!

6 Week Update!  Cotton’s puppies are doing amazing and are so much fun now! We had our 6 week visitation yesterday and it was great getting to meet all of the new families and see some old friends coming back for Golden number two to add to their family. The puppies were completely worn out by the end of the day and made everyone believe they were calm and quiet all of the time lol… I am listening to them wrestle, bark at one another and tear up newspaper in the other room as we speak πŸ™‚ We have a video and just one picture of the pooped out puppies since everyone got millions of pictures yesterday πŸ™‚

Cotton 6 wks

5 week update! Only one more week until visitation! It will be great to meet the new puppy parents and I know you are all excited to pick out your new babies. They are all wonderful, so it will be a tough choice πŸ™‚ The pups are very playful now and are enjoying the freedom of the whole puppy room. They are doing great on paper training and experiencing new things to learn about each day. They love the play tube as you will see in the video…Enjoy!

4 week update! We are halfway to our new homes at 4 weeks old today! It is so hard to believe we are already 3 days  into 2015 and Christmas and New Years are behind us once again. The puppies are doing wonderful and enjoying eating real food! You will see they love it and get into it completely and make a big mess πŸ™‚ They are having play time outside the box and starting their paper training.

3 week update!! My goodness the time is slipping by so fast. It is hard to believe that Christmas is over and we are bringing in the new year this coming week. The babies are growing and changing everyday and looking more like little puppies now. They are discovering their little world, toys and each other and it is so fun to watch. Enjoy a glimpse into toy discovery for the first time πŸ™‚

Hi Christine,

Here is Willow and big brother Raleigh at “Paws in the Park” at Carlin Park
in Jupiter.  Here they were entered in a costume contest as a “Wide
Retriever” with football and Willow was the cheerleader.  So cute!  She
also did pretty well for a novice at dock jumping.  Her longest jump was 7′.

Christine, I thought you might enjoy this photo of Sara. Today is her 12th Birthday

(hard to believe). She is a happy, healthy Golden Girl. We took a nice long walk early this morning

and are planning to go for birthday treats this afternoon. Maybe even a tiny bit of ice cream, vanilla is her favorite!!

She is an amazing girl that I love more every day we spend together. We are constant

companions and she goes everywhere with us. We have a three week vacation planned in

September and have booked hotels that allow dogs in Tennessee, Ohio, New York, New

Hampshire, Virginia and South Carolina. She is a dream to travel with and should

have an amazing time. Hope all is well with your family, we still enjoy following your web site for

updates on all your wonderful Goldens.

See you soon,

David, Georgia and Sara

Attached is a recent picture of Buddy. I grew up with a black lab so I knew I wanted

a retriever for a pet. When we acquired Buddy 2 1/2 yrs ago, we were told he is the

best dog we will ever have. We thought everyone says that but truly, he is the best

fit for our family! He adapted so quickly and so well that we regret not getting a

Golden earlier. Anyone who meets him falls in love with him. (My in-laws joke that

he is so smart because he is “homeschooled” along with our kids.)

He is such a blessing to us. Three of us in our family are hearing impaired and

Buddy has become my “ears” at especially at night. My husband’s schedule requires

him to be gone overnight a lot so when I hear a noise or if he does, he is quick to

check things out. He’s even been known to proudly bring us a possum from the yard at

night. I could go on and on with all the things we love about Buddy as could anyone who

owns a Golden. πŸ™‚ Thank you for allowing me to share.

Hi Ms. Christine,

I wanted to send you a little note to let you know how well I’m doing. I can hardly

believe it has already been a year since I was born. I want to thank you for

finding me a great family. They love me just the way you did when I was in your

home. I weigh almost sixty pounds now. My mom and dad say I’m all muscle.

I’ve included some pictures of me with my best friend Skylar. Technically she’s my

sister since we live in the same home.

Greetings! Hope your year is going amazing and all your pups are doing great! I just

wanted to thank you again for giving me such an amazing dog and best friend! Gunner

is doing amazing and had a vet check up yesterday and they said he was one of the

prettiest and well behaved Goldens they have ever seen (and perfect healthy)! He has

turned into such a water dog and gets in some every chance he gets! He is the

perfect puppy still and so well behaved! Here are some photos of him now at about 5

months old! Thanks again! Kiana Broadbridge

Winni continues to be a joy and adds so much

laughter to our home. She has been playing with our daughter’s new puppy as

well as a friend’s puppy that I help watch on the days she has to be gone

all day. She enjoys other dogs so much and our older one is no longer

interested in playing with her. She loves to swim in our daughter’s pool

with her older dog.

Hi Christine, Chris & I hope you and your family are doing well.  I just wanted to
take a moment to let you know that Sophie & Zeus are doing great.  Here’s a pic.
Sophie in the front, then Zoey, and Zeus in the back.  You were right about Sophie.
She is a tender heart except when she’s around her brother.  Then she really let’s
loose.  She goes for 2 walks every day and the whole neighborhood knows Sophie.  She
has to stop and say hello to everybody.  I’m especially looking forward to watching
all the Hallmark Christmas shows with her.  Maggie and I used to watch them over and
over again.  Take care.   Rose

Our dogs just love all of the space they have to romp and play! From playing ball in the field, to visiting the farm animals, to cooling off in a tub… it is a fun life in the country!

Christine,

Just wanted to update you on our Tebone. He got to play in the sprinklers after a
nice long walk. He went to the vet to visit Pops today and he weighed 15 1/2 pounds.
He has adjusted amazingly and is sleeping till 6:00 or later regularly. He is a
sweet tempered puppy and we see a lot of our Barkley in him. Thanks so much and we
will send you updates down the road.

As you can see she is a Daddy’s girl and loves her new “big” brother, Raleigh as

we do her! They absolutely LOVE each other and have such fun as you will see in my

YouTube video link below!  We will keep you updated on the first baby to

flee it’s nest last Saturday!

ENJOY!

Thank you so much for raising such beautiful puppies!  Cali is adjusting to her new

home.  She was a good girl on the long car ride home. She is having

fun exploring and playing with her new toys.

Talk to you soon! The Cooper Family

Good morning, Christine,

Hope you and your family are well.  Daisy continues to thrive and becomes better and

better every day.  She is just so darn loving, cute, & entertaining–personality

plus.  No shy retiring dog is she!  Everyone in the neighborhood loves her because

she gives them so many wags and kisses, and more kisses.  No one escapes her

attention.  She can win over the biggest non-dog-fan. We have a good trainer who seems to be crazy about her and loves

her outgoing personality.  He is certified in various training programs so therapy

is very much a possibility.

Hugs to Cotton and Angus!

Blessings,

Margie Wagner

Hi Christine,

I hope all is well your way. Keely is growing so fast & she is such a sweet little girl! She & Gradi

play all the time, she loves swimming in the pool & then going out to play on the

dirt piles then back to the pool again. She is so funny, she’ll sit on the pool

steps just looking around & then just swim off to one of the floating toys. She is

19in. & 32lbs. @ this point.

Have a great holiday weekend,

Lisa

Hello! Just wanted to send a quick update. Gunner got his second round of shots
today at the vet and everyone at the vets office loved him so much that they asked
all about your business. They were so impressed by what I told them about your
program that they got all your information and said they will be passing it along to
some other clients that are looking for golden puppies!

Gunner is such a good boy and is sleeping through the night already. He knows
lots of tricks and loves to go swimming. He is growing so fast and is the
perfect puppy! Here is some pictures of him, he is already 17 pounds! Thank you
again!

Hey Christine!

Just wanted to update you on what Louie is up to these days.

We have started intermediate obedience classes and Louie is learning

everything so fast. He is a great learner. Louie has also discovered the

pool in our backyard and likes to jump in every time he goes outside! It is

a great way for him to cool off on these hot days! Louie keeps us very

entertained every day, we love him so much!

Hope all is great with you and your family πŸ™‚

Natalie and Julien….and Louie πŸ˜€

Hi Christine,

A few weeks ago Winni graduated from her puppy class and she is now going through the intermediate one.

Both Jim and I take her once a week and practice

each day. She continues to grow and now that she is almost 6 months old, she weighs about 42 lbs.

She has been so much fun and such a joy to have around.

Her coat is coming in nicely and we get compliments from people that see her all the time about what a good looking Golden she is.

Life is good, and Tucker remains a beautiful shining light in my life. He is happy and healthy!

I visited your site and saw all the beautiful dogs/pups!

Looks like a lot of work!!! If I ever make it back to SC, I will contact you and bring the Tucker man by

Titus is doing wonderful. His favorite things are running around the yard,walks and of 
course swimming in any body of water. 
He also loves to be vacuumed which always provides entertainment whencleaning.
He has a goofy personality and loves any body and every dog 
he comes in contact with. 
We also love how wonderful he is with children. Today we had a "Titus day" 
since we've been so 
busy we wanted to spoil him so we went to Petsmart and picked a new toy then took him swimming. 
When we were in Petsmart, 3 little kids asked if they could pet him and Titus just sat down as 
the kids went crazy putting their hands all over his face and mouth. 
He loved it and didn't get too excited, 
but just sat and licked their hands. We couldn't have asked for a better dog that is 
more perfect for our family. Thanks for the wonderful family member!

Hi Christine, Magoo is all grown up and had his "Big Boy Physical" this past week. As his
breeder, I thought you would like to know that he passed with flying colors. Our
vet said he is one happy and very healthy big boy and many times mentioned what a
"good lookin dog" he was.  We just want to thank you again for our handsome and
healthy boy! Wishes for a wonderful spring season for you and your family. 
I continue to watch
your web site and enjoy watching all your litters grow.  Sandy (and Tom) Walker

Christine,

Christine,

How are you! Hope all is great with you and your family. I wanted to send

you some pictures of Louie and let you know how great he is :). We started

puppy classes a couple weeks ago and he is by far the smartest puppy in the

class, he understood how to sit after only two try’s. He has made friends

with the neighbors dogs and loves to go next door and play! He is so great

with other dogs and people. We love to take him to Celebration and have

dinner, as they have many dog friendly restaurant options. We are very

happy with Louie and just love his personality!

Hello Christine,

Daisy is settling in nicely now and is hysterical, bringing much joy to our family.

She is a neighborhood celebrity and enjoys play time with her new big sister, Bella.

Her new trick is taking Bella for a walk, oh, and a “High 10”. She is truly living up to her name and “dazzling” us with her

adorable personality.  Daisy is still keeping us on our toes but has completely won

our hearts.  All the “best” to you and your family, both human and canine.  Margie

Hi Christine…just wanted to send pic of our New Jersey Bear! He is 4 and a half now and the light of our life! He is so sweet and loving and just AMAZING with kids and other dogs. He has quite a personality and “talks” to us all the time. He makes us laugh and we just adore him.

Hi Christine, Our beautiful Cassie turned one year old on February 5th and I wanted to send you a few pictures so you could see how she turned out.  She has brought so much joy to our lives!!  She goes to the beach every weekend and loves swimming in the ocean. She rules our household and sleeps in our bed every night. I can never thank you enough for her.  We have a dog park in our neighborhood and of course she goes there for a walk almost every day and ironically there are two other English Goldens that she romps with at the park (however Cassie is the prettiest – spoken like a true Mom). My friend, Sandra Barcia, is so thrilled with her puppy from Ruby’s litter.  When her puppy gets a little older we plan on having the two dogs play together.  This is the first puppy her family has owned and the puppy has brought a lot of joy to their family!  I hope your family is doing well.  Enjoy the pictures of our Cassie girl. With Blessings, Donna Centerbar

Christine Daisy, oh by the way, as you know by now, we did change her name.  She and Bella are getting along well and Bella has stepped up to the plate in demonstrating appropriate behavior in the house and out.  Daisy gives her a fit sometime with the puppy teeth but otherwise, they are adapting extremely well. All the Best, Margie

He has his brother Archer (the golden) and now has two sisters since I recently got married.The four of them get along so well and make an adorable pack of siblings!Bear adds so much to our home and we are happy every day to have him. Thanks so much! Our best, Nancy Colling

Hi Christine, I hope you and your family are doing great! I am sending a couple of pictures of Molly and Koda.  They really enjoy the time when they are together.  Both dogs have black spots on their tongues, KodaÒ€ℒs is a bit bigger than MollyÒ€ℒs.  They are such a joy to have around. Thanks again Chris McCann

Magoo’s first birthday!  Thank you again for our handsome boy.

magoo

 

I think you would like to know this about Magoo’s personality – from a breeder standpoint.

Magoo could not be more gentle with Pablo – I assume he must sense Pablo’s condition.

Even as a young dog wanting to play he will be very sweet and gentle around Pablo.

If he does get anxious to get Pablo to play I can distract Magoo and he will then go back to leaving him be.

So for now they enjoy laying near each other – taking walks together and getting extra attention.

This is nothing short of remarkable and a wonderful example of his excellent temperament….thanks to your outstanding breeding.

Hey Christine,Just wanted to share some pictures with you from our first week together. At first Louie was a little nervous when we got home and cried the first night.

He quickly became accustomed to our home and has made it his. Since the first night he has not cried at all and was going potty outside since we got home last Saturday.

He is such a blessing and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much and we will keep in touch! He is very photogenic πŸ™‚

Hey Christine!

Just wanted to update you on Chip, from Sugar and Max.

He and Cappie will be 3 this spring, hard to believe!

I visit your site regularly and love all the new litters. God bless all of you. I feel especially happy to have been given Chip–

-now if he would quit grabbing at every old tissue in the road, life would be perfect!

Always, Jan Cervone

Been thinking of you, I didn’t get Christmas cards out this year I thought you might want to see how our kids are doing.

Gracie loves the snow, we will be leaving for florida soon we were there for a month in October,

the one pic is the kids on the long ride home they are the best of buddies, they are both so pretty & sweet, we love them so much.

We enjoy going on line & seeing all your pretty dogs, I saw the pic of Brody’s mom Sierra at her new home that was very special.

Hope you & your family have a very Merry Christmas & a very blessed year. Much love & lots of licks from the kids, Jim & Paula

Christine, I’m sorry I didn’t take these pictures sooner. Hope you and your family   have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year.

Faith is now fully at ease with us. She has become a full-fledged watch dog. You should hear  her bark when someone rings our bell.

We aren’t use to this since our last two  goldens never made a peep and would have showed the robbers where the jewelry  and money is.

Christine, if you’re ever passing by The Villages, please come and  visit. I’m sure Faith would love to see you. Hope you enjoy these pictures we  took in the last week. Bill, Edith, & Faith

Hi Christine! Just wanted to give you an update on Dixie! She’s officially a Texas dog now and she’s adjusting great!

She loves talking in the morning right when you let her out of her crate because she wants to go out and come back in to eat!

Dixie is the most relaxed and loving puppy we’ve ever had and looking forward to celebrating Christmas with her next week!  Talk to you soon! Jamie White

Hi Christine, I just wanted to say thanks for our wonderful Winni… She is such a

joy! We love her so much and our older dog , Summer, has completely

accepted her and Winni has brought back some of her past puppyhood.

They love to wrestle and talk to each other and when Summer has had

enough she lets Winni know in a firm but gentle way.

We appreciate all the years of your hard work to breed Goldens

that make wonderful pets for others.

Blessings to you,

Leanne

Charlie has settled in so well!! He’s been so much fun already. He’s so smart and

learning quickly. It’s been a little challenging trying to crate train him because

he cries… But each day hes getting better with it and knows its bedtime. He hasn’t

had any accidents so far in the house- hes so good about letting us know when he

needs out we are both so surprised by what a good puppy he is. Just wanted to share

a few photos from our first couple days! Hope you and your family have a great

Thanksgiving!

We really couldn’t be happier with such a sweet, good-natured pup. He just

little guy. Again, we really cannot thank you enough! It is hard to imagine

life without him around.

Many thanks!

You should see Faith when we get  home from going out. She is sooooo happy. She runs around wagging her tail  and jumping up on our bed and turning over on her back. She just loves a belly  rub. What more can we say, Faith is a gift from God. Thank you for  giving us Faith. She has filled the void we had from losing our last  golden, Rusty. We’ll send those pictures tomorrow when I get them on the  computer. Hope all is well with your family and have a blessed fourth.

Hi Christine,

 My name’s Darby, I adopted one of Kody’s puppies in July 2012 from a woman in Apollo

Beach named Cara. She said she paid for Kody to be used as a stud. I saw pictures of

him on your website and I couldn’t believe the resemblance to my dog, Captain. Kody

seems to be more built than Cap but their coloring and head shape are really

similar. I just thought you’d like to see another one of Kody’s babies since you have three

of your own! And of course a proud momma loves to show off her baby πŸ™‚

 He’s such a good dog and I’m so lucky to have him!

 Best, Darby

Hi Christine,

 Hope you and your family are doing well! I attached a picture of Titus at

19 weeks old (I think). He is still the most wonderful dog. I cannot

believe this is his “teenage” time because he is still so calm and well

behaved. We get none stop compliments on how good looking and how calm he

is. Thanks a hundred times for such a wonderful dog. I already want another

one! :] Hannah Clites.

In the picture, he is hanging out with his dad at our pharmacy, “assisting” with

compounding medications.

 He is so loving, sweet and laid back. You really pegged his personality way back

when he was just a little guy-

amazing how you can do that when they are so young!

 Take care.
