A Golden Paradise

We are the “Best” family located on 5 acres in beautiful Central Florida. We are just SE of Orlando, 30 min from Disney. We are a homeschooling family, which allows us time to be home to properly care for our dogs and puppies. Goldens are a part of our life and we cannot imagine owning any other breed!

I grew up in 4-H and have always been involved with raising animals. My own family purchased our first Golden in 2002 and we fell in love with the breed. Over the years, we have grown and learned so much about Goldens, their history, bloodlines, health issues, specific needs, etc. This has allowed us to be responsible in our breeding practices. We want to provide families the best opportunity of having their Golden as a healthy family member for many years.

We health test all of our adult dogs before breeding them. The tests are OFA hips, elbows, heart and eyes. This ensures a better chance of having a healthy puppy. We also feel a holistic diet (see holistic diet link) to make sure our Goldens have the best in a diet to keep them healthy. See the "Our Commitment" page for our guarantee and more info.

Our dogs have plenty of room to play on our property. They love to run, swim and chase rabbits and lizards! Our puppies are whelped in our home with the family. They are with us at all times. We begin paper training at 3 weeks and they are handled numerous times a day. When they are 6 weeks we begin to expose them to the outdoors, other animals, textures and noises. We also begin to train them to use a doggie door out to the patio. They begin to go outside to use the potty and have a very good routine. If weather permits they will get to swim too!

Our puppies are well socialized and love people. We do the best possible to make your training experience unstressful. There will be a few nights of whining, but with a loving, secure, structured environment it works well for both you and puppy. We want to place our pups in the right home and we ask several questions to make sure our puppies are a fit. We do temperament testing on our pups and watch them closely with their littermates. This allows us a window into their personality so we can help you choose the right puppy for your specific family needs.

We take deposits on puppies once an application has been received and we discuss any questions that either one of us may have. This puts you on a list for a litter and picks are done in order of deposit. Once the pups are 8 weeks old, we have visitation and the picks are made. At this time we answer your questions about training, food, shots, etc. The puppy will have been fully examined by our vet, had shots, a Certified Health Certificate from our vet stating the puppy is in excellent health and ready for his new family.

Thank you for visiting and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about us or our Goldens. We look forward to hearing from you!

Blessings,
