"Jan,

I wanted to let you know that Lucy had her first vet visit and is exceptionally healthy. Our vet even commented that Lucy is a very pretty Golden puppy.

We were thrilled with the good report, but not surprised after seeing how healthy Cana is and how well you and Cana cared for the pups.

Lucy is adapting wonderfully to her new home. She seems to have a very well balanced temperament. She’s curious, exploring both inside and out, but a stern “no” (or two) stops her in her tracks. After some playtime, she’s snuggly and adorable.

We couldn’t have wished for a better puppy! Thank you so much for the excellent breeding job you do. All your work enables people like us to enjoy the love and companionship of a really good, healthy dog for years to come. Lucky us!"

"The best temperament and best looking dogs in town! I can’t say enough wonderful things about the three golden’s that I have acquired from Jan over the past 20 years. They are so easily trained, healthy, well mannered and beautiful. I will always have a golden in my life that is breed by Jan and would never consider going anywhere else."

"Jan,

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience we had adopting our puppy, Sasha, from you! I have worked for a veterinarian for 10+ years and when it came time to find our own breeder from whom to adopt a Golden, I was overwhelmed by the number of breeders out there.

I have seen so many healthy and not so healthy puppies come through the doors where I work. Thankfully one of the Veterinarians I work with referred you!! I was impressed with your quick communication and openness to any and all questions we had. I also loved your stuffed animal idea...I really think it helped Sasha adjust to our home those first couple nights! She still loves to lay on it! Sasha is such a happy, content, healthy Golden puppy! We can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience and relationship we had adopting her from you!!"

Jan,

We wanted to thank you for giving us such a great experience throughout the whole process of getting Chief. We loved getting updates on the puppies each week and having so much guidance on how to care for him during his first few weeks at home. He's been great and has picked up on everything so quickly! Every time we take him for a walk he gets compliments on how he is so good-looking and well-behaved. Our experience from the very beginning was great and we hope to be back in a year or two to get Chief a little brother or sister!
