OUR GIRLS
MADDIE
Dark Golden Retriever
AKC, DNA, OFA
If you're looking for a petite golden, Maddie is your girl. She weighs in at a tiny 45 pounds. Maddie's love in life is people. She can't help but show her excitement and happiness for people no matter where we are. She loves to play fetch and swim in the pool. She is truly a loyal and sweet girl. She was an amazing first time momma to 6 beautiful babies in September 2022 and 9 precious pups in April 2023. She has received her Canine Good Citizen title through AKC and has extensive obedience training. Maddie is DNA tested through Embark. She also has her OFA testing in heart, eyes, hips and elbows.
**Maddie is negative for all genetic conditions tested including breed specific testing: PRCD, PRA-1, PRA-2, CLN5, SOD1A, DMD, COLQ, COL7A1, COL1A1 and PNPLA2 (Ichthyosis type 2). She is a carrier of PNPLA1 (Ichthyosis type 1), as are most golden retrievers. What this means is that 50% of her offspring will be carriers of ichthyosis. As long as she is not bred with a dog that is also a carrier, the pups will NOT have Ichthyosis.

LILY
Golden Retriever
5/25/13 - 2/10/2023
Lily was the most loyal, gentile, friendliest, sweetest, smartest golden you could ever meet. She had a true love for people, swimming and literally ANYTHING that involved being by your side. Lily loved going to the beach, kayaking, golf cart rides, swimming in her pool, and boating. She was the reason we fell in love with goldens and breeding. She was taken far too soon from an awful, rare cancer called Stromal Cell Sarcoma. We miss this sweet girl with all our hearts. Cancer sucks.
