"We feel so blessed and lucky to have found our new puppy and feel that she must've been treated so well by you guys in those first few months. She is sweet, smart, and healthy. It was so great that we were given photos and updates throughout the process and the Winnie was loved as part of their family while she was waiting to come home to us."

"Donna and her family were good to work with. They love all of their pups and want to make sure they go to good homes. Our sweet pup Cali has a silly/joyful personality that cracks us up all of the time. We are so happy we were chosen to be her family."

"I'm writing this because I'd like whomever which reads this to know... We were in the market looking for a good quality Golden retriever pup. We learned of Donna. Lets just say, she and her family, are of exceptional quality. Although a bit pricey, the puppies she breeds are of great bloodlines, and to us, welcoming a new family member, was important. Our puppy is very good in looks, temperament, and ability to learn, with a unique personality. Our pup is one "ya just know" will be a great family member. Donna and her family do a great job tending to her dogs and puppies. Well taken care of and socialized. Extra cudos to her 2 daughters, who really step up with their care, with intelligence and love. If you are in the market for one of these upmost wonderful pets, We HIGHLY recommend getting in touch with Donna's puppies. "

"My family was very pleased with our experience with Donna and her family. They were very friendly and helpful in matching our family to a puppy. Bo is just the most loving baby. He was exactly what we wanted as a new member of our family."

"As a first time dog owner, we couldn't ask for a better puppy than Joey. He has a very sweet personality, loves to play with people and other dogs alike. He is a very quick learner. We love him very much. Donna has been very helpful in answering any novice dog parent questions we had. We are lucky to have found Donna when we were ready for a golden retriever puppy to add to our family."

"My husband and I are very pleased with our experience with this family! We are so happy with "Murphy" and wish he could've been part of our lives earlier. I was encouraged to meet the litter even though Donna strongly suspected a certain male pup would meet our needs. Aside from looking for a puppy with a temperament to be a great family dog, as a family therapist, I hope to have Murphy trained and designated as a Therapy Dog. Doing so meant I needed to assess various behaviors and emotional responses of the litter. Unfortunately, many breeders declined to allow me to meet their pups after I explained my plan. Donna and her family immediately met my request with excitement and we were pleased with their warmth and openness. We were able to meet Murphy's parents and were impressed with their behavior and beauty! At our first visit, we were given documentation of Murphy's family history and evaluated the positive health in his lineage. The family's home was clean, the pups had plenty of food, toys, and love. Everyone was attentive to the puppies and their parents. Murphy was the first puppy I would have aside from my family pets and I was anxious about possible separation anxiety that he could feel. Mike explained all the steps they take to encourage the mother and puppies to feel better at take home day and beyond. I was so pleased to see that Murphy didn't demonstrate any signs of distress and he very quickly became our family. About two weeks later, Donna checked in to see how things were going with the new pup and she's been a great resource. It is obvious their puppies are very important to them and we appreciated this level of care and concern. I fully recommend Donna and Mike as breeders of Golden Retrievers!"

"I am writing this review on behalf of Donna and her family who were absolutely amazing when we were looking to add a new member to our family. We had some pretty specific ideas about what we were hoping to find in our new family member because we were not only looking for a pet but also hoping to be able to show our new puppy in the AKC conformation events as a hobby and something fun we could do with her. Donna was very supportive, answered all of our questions, and then picked out the perfect puppy for us, who is not only smart, healthy, and beautiful, but has the best attitude and perfect energy level for what we were hoping to do with her. Beyond that, she is the most loving, attentive, and loyal dog I've ever had, and I've had dogs all my life. Donna and her family work with these puppies from beginning to socialize them and because of that they are friendly, outgoing, and love their people. My girl loves to play with her other dog friends, but I am her best friend and she is mine, and she follows me everywhere and loves to "help" me with whatever I may be doing. I couldn't possibly be more pleased or more grateful to Donna and her family for bringing this beautiful creature into our lives."

"Donna and the family have been great! I got my puppy, Keta, at the perfect time and she's been a blessing ever since. Keta loves attention and gets along with children and other dogs! She's full of energy, loves to cuddle (which goes to show how much the puppies were loved on up until she was given to me), Keta's smart and loves to play, her personality has been the perfect match! Donna takes time to know you, to make sure the puppy's personality matches their new owner."

"I had been searching for a Golden retriever for a while. I even had paid a deposit on one that never transpired. A girlfriend of mine suggested I look at the AKC website, which I did and I found Donna on there with puppies. By chance I emailed her to see if she had any puppies available. She set up a time for us to have a video call. I was a travel nurse at the time and was looking for my best friend and travel buddy.

We video chatted and I got to meet Donna and her girls along with the puppies. It was a true interview process and I was excited to see if they would choose me to have one of their puppies. Donna was amazing through the whole process. Down to spending time getting to know me and feel out my personality so that she could match the right puppy with me.

I finally got my girl in November of 2020 after I had finished my contract and got back home. I can attest to the fact that Donna and her family had chosen the right puppy for me. They called her Olympiana. I was so excited to meet them all. What loving, caring and nurturing people. Their love for these furry family members is phenomenal."

"I highly recommend going through Donna and her family for you and your family’s next pet addition! Before being approved to have the chance to adopt one of their puppies, they set up a very great one on one face-time/zoom tag up to get to know us and vice versa to ensure there was a match. Then while waiting for the puppies to reach ~6 weeks (for us to have the chance to find out which one will be our new addition) and even ~8 weeks (for our puppy to come home), Donna and her family were amazing at communicating and sending various adorable photos of all the puppies to make you feel close and excited! This was my first time being matched to a puppy based on temperament, but I have no complaints. Our puppy Maverick (Mav) has been the best addition to our new family and he fits in so well and absolutely loves kids! He keeps me active daily, while also enjoying his time to rest, and he is always out running and playing with the kids in our family. We get so many compliments on his hair and look. His hair is just so beautiful and soft, and his masculine look is just so adorable! Mav also was a very quick learner. He was fully potty trained when we received him and shortly after he decided he did not want to go potty where he was trained, but rather wanted to go outside. Lastly, Mav was very healthy. With the pandemic going on we did take him in for his full checkup and then started the shots, and he did not have any health concerns or issues. At the moment we still do not see any allergies. All of Mav’s qualities have come from the amazing dogs Donna and her family have (which have great qualities, breeding line, etc.), and how they take care of and care for these puppies. I highly recommend adopting one of their puppies. We cannot imagine life without our spunky, sassy, sweet, adorable Maverick and all of his many other personalities!"

"My husband David and I were looking to add a second golden to our fur family, and knew we had found the right fit as soon as we spoke with Donna. From the moment we met Donna on our first video call I had a great feeling - we could tell she truly cared for her pups and was a very knowledgeable breeder.

Donna’s puppies are well cared for, and we SO appreciated the many updates she provided along the way of Yeti (aka Thompson) through video call, texts, and pictures. It was incredible watching him grow, and we loved hearing how involved Donna, her daughters, and Mike were in the process.

Yeti has been such an easygoing, well-adjusted, playful, healthy, and lovable pup since the first day he came home with us in November. This is no doubt a testament to Donna and her family’s love and care. Yeti is such a joyful addition to our lives, and we are so thankful to Donna.
