These precious puppies are already five weeks old. Each has a distinct and adorable personality. They are getting more playful and mischievous as each day passes. It’s only a few weeks until they are with their “Forever Families”. I know that tears will be shed as they leave and as they arrive at their new […]

The weeks are flying by so quickly. The puppies are growing by leaps and bounds. Everyday they come up with a new accomplishment. Each one of them have their own little distinctive personalities. O’Malley and his forever family live in Oregon. They are a wonderful family and he is a lucky little guy. Jackson and […]

Week three. A week full of growth, teeth and lots of vocals. Bella continues to be a wonderful mother and Augie a father that is more loving towards his puppies every single day. The weeks seem to be flying by so quickly that it’s hard to believe that in only five more weeks many will […]

What a wonderful week this was. All the puppies opened their eyes and started walking around. I know their ears have opened because when one of them trills, they all join in. Bella is a wonderful mommy, however, the amazing thing is that Augie is just as wonderful of a father. He is in the […]

What a week this has been. Is there anything (other than your own children) cuter or sweeter than puppies or puppy breath? All the puppies have at least doubled their weight.

We had a little scare with Bella yesterday. Her temperature was 99.4, which can indicate that the puppies are coming soon. This morning however, her temperature was back to 100.4. Today is day 56. Puppies usually come between 57-63 days. We want her to wait about another 6-7 days if possible. It’s going to be […]

I could be prejudiced, actually I am prejudiced. However, when I look at these two stellar examples of what Golden Retrievers are and should be, I am so proud. Augie, the son of Koriander v.d. Beerse Hoeve, who is still winning Championships in Europe and Bella whose lineage includes numerous champions in her pedigree from […]

There has never been a time in my life where The Christmas Season hasn’t had a magical effect on me. Christmas itself is magical. How much more precious can Christmas be? To have been given the greatest gift on Heaven or Earth. Christmas is about Christ. I am not politically correct nor will I ever […]
