Koji is breautiful, smart, and has a very comical personality. He has done very well in his puppy classes and will start Puppy 3 in 2 weeks. He has been a great pup and promises to become a wonderul dog. He really tries hard to please and is very enthusiastic about learning new things. We love him!!!
Thanks so much for breeding great Goldens!

Olga turned six-months-old this past week, we want to share with you how she is and how happy we are to have her.
In a word, she's GREAT! Her temperament and behavior is exceptional; she's excellent with all people; she plays well with other dogs; she's intelligent and learns quickly; and she's a good traveler. She completed a six week puppy class in November (with honors), and has moved on to individual instruction which she is presently doing very well in (as you well know, we are the ones really being trained).
And, as you can see from the enclosed photos, she is a stunner! We marvel at her multi-toned honey-colored coat. Hardly a day goes by when someone doesn't comment about how absolutely gorgeous she is. We joke about the notion that if owners do look like their dogs, then she couldn't possibly belong to us.
Did all of Chooey and Rufus' puppies turn out so beautiful?

We just wanted to touch base with you and tell you how much we are enjoying our puppy. Rusty is the male pup from Misty and Moosey's litter that was born on Jan 10, 2010. We are very happy with him. His training is coming along great. He is a very intelligent pup. We have introduced him to the boat and water. He likes the boat and is working on the swimming,(still a bit shy). Not a day goes by that people are telling us what a beautiful dog we have. Thank you so much for our baby. He is 6 months old now. Again, thank you.

Happy New Year Don! I wanted to send a photo of Nevada hen she completed her Good Citizenship class. She looks like an angel but don't believe it. She is really beautiful & has her own personality. She actually rolls her eyes if she doesn't want to listen to you. She also runs with me an hour and also on the treadmill for an hour if I am on the elliptical

Just wanted to send a couple pictures of "Noah". He is absolutely delightful. My husband who had reservations about a "big dog" fell in love instantly when Noah ran up to greet him and then followed him everywhere he went. Of course my granddaughter loves him, and he's really wonderful with her - already so gentle. He is a treasure.
I got the crate you suggested and he was fine last night after just a few minutes of whining. He is a love sponge and had a hard time understanding that he's not a "lap dog" but when I put a blanket down by my chair, he just curled up and went to sleep at my feet after only a couple corrections!
Everyone had suggestions for names: My oldest daughter said "Heffe", the youngest daughter wanted "Gus, the neighbor said "Newton", and finally my 3 year old granddaughter insisted that his name was "Jack" ... ultimately my husband and I sat down with him and asked him what his name was and then I blurted out the first name that came to mind, with was "Noah" and when I said it, he came right to me and my husband loved it. So, that has settled it. My granddaughter still calls him "Noah-Jack" but it does seem to suit him. So, thans for bringing this little (okay, not so little) fellow into our lives. Thanks again.

Just touching base to let you know how much we love our golden. Murray is so smart and pretty much over the puppy stuff at six months old. If you will recall, we also bought his brother for our grandson who named his Charley.
I wanted to t let you know that our Vet wanted your info because she said Murray was the perfect example of what the Golden Retriever breed should be. She even said she was a bit sorry that she neutered him as he would have made a beautiful show dog. She also liked your philosophy about the local and national politics surrounding AKC, etc. She says she is thinking about getting one later next year.

I am sure a lot of people you sel puppies to send you pics and all, but I had to take the time to send you a pic of Haley our beautiful golden that we bought from you lasst year. She is amazing and truly I have never owned a dog that is as smart and easy to train as her. I just had to drop a line to give you props for doing what you do because the difference in her and other goldens when it comes to her temperment and mellowness is unbelievable, and she actually watches TV with us, so cute. Well keep up the good work and dont stop breeding cause we may want another one in a couple years haha!!

I have always wanted to drop you a note on the golden tat we adopted from you last January. If yo remember my wife, daughter, and I came down from the Reno, Nevada area and adopted of the males you had. I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful dog he is. His name is Hoosier and he without a doubt is the "World's Most Perfect Dog"!!! He is the greatest companion and the most friendly and most loveable dog I have ever seen. Everyone just loves him. He has very few bad habits all of which will go away with the puppy-hood. He just loves to play and please other people. I could not have gotten a better dog as my first ever dog. I have enclosed a jpeg picture of him even though it is not the greatest picture as he looks a little sad but he is anything but sad. He is stong as an Ox. Other people have wnated to know who the breeder was. All for now, thanks again with best regards.
