A resort, for puppies
Twelve acres of meadow, a creek, a porch big enough for five goldens and a family who thinks puppy breath is the best smell in the world.
It started with one very good dog.
Her name was Sadie, and she came home with us the summer our oldest started kindergarten. She walked him to the bus stop every morning and was waiting at the end of the driveway every afternoon. When she was gone, we knew two things: our house needed a golden in it, and every family deserved a dog like her.
So we learned. We studied pedigrees and health testing, joined the breed club, showed a little and asked a lot of questions. Today we raise just three or four litters a year, in our home, with our kids helping at every stage.
We call it the Resort because that is how our dogs live: meadow mornings, creek afternoons and long naps on a cool porch. Your puppy gets the same start.
