History
Our love for animals began with horses. We have been breeding, raising, training, and showing quality horses for
many disciplines for 30 years. Through our experiences, we have learned to capture the best qualities of one
breed and blend them with the best qualities of another breed to achieve the "best of both worlds".
Eventually, our attention turned to dogs and we began breeding AKC Golden Retrievers for health, temperament,
and comformation. We became involved with Labradoodles through a long-time friend. We were very intrigued
by the "new" breed and the interest it was stirring around the world. Labrador Retrievers are wonderful dogs, but
our first love is still the Golden Retriever. We couldn't stop wondering what a Golden/Poodle cross would look
like. The desire to find out became a reality with the first litter. These beautiful pups had gentle personalities and
gorgeous coats with a look all their own. Once again, we felt we had achieved the "best of both worlds." We were
weaning a litter of Labradoodles for our friend and were arranging for their new owners to pick up their new
puppies. As these families began arriving, we also showed them the Goldendoodle pups. Half of the families who
came to pick up a Labradoodle changed their mind and took a Goldendoodle puppy instead. This is not to
discredit the wonderful Labradoodle breed, but to put Goldendoodles on the map as another option for those who
suffer from allergies but love the gentle temperment of the Golden Retriever. Click here to view photos of our

| Callie, Daisy, and Dexter (all siblings) are our resident puppy sitters. They spend most of their time playing with puppies, snuggling up with them, or sharing their food! |
Gus, our original Golden Retriever stud.
| Growing up on a farm, the cats know warmth and safety come from staying close to a dog. |

childhood picture without a dog, cat, or pony in it. All children
should grow up with animals as there are many lessons in life that
can be taught better by animals. Growing up without a dog is
like going to school where there are no teachers.
