Eric-

I purchased a puppy from you back in 2004 for my wife’s birthday, I met you at the Clearwater truck stop south of St. Cloud. I had lost your phone number and always wanted to get a hold of you and tell you what a wonderful dog she turned out to be.

We called our dog Tessa Marie Frisbee and she has turned out to be the best dog my wife and I could have ever hoped for. She is wonderful around other dogs and children and we could have not asked for anything more. At 5 months old Tessa had a nose for pheasants that first year but really came into her own in 2005 and has made my hunting buddies jealous ever since. Hunting ducks was a different story but last year and this season she has turned out to be a pretty good duck hunter as well and I can only hope for many more seasons of hunting the North Dakota country side as we near pheasant opener next weekend. Tessa has no quit when it comes to chasing birds, her hunt drive is amazing. She is also a well disciplined dog and I wasted money on buying an E-collar because I never have to use the thing. We also did not have her trained by anyone, my wife and I just spent time with her and used what she was born with which is a testament to your dogs and you as breeders.

Tessa turned out to be a darker colored golden and that is what we were looking for, she is also very tall and long. She weighs 75lbs and is bigger and stronger than many of the labs I hunt with. My wife Dana runs marathons and takes her running daily which keeps her in good shape come hunting season.

I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to pick the first dog of the litter she has made our lives as pet owners enjoyable. If you ever decide to add customer testimony or pictures of dogs once they are adults to your web site, we would be happy to provide one.

Thank you again,
Matthew and Dana

Dear Elisa and Family,

I did try to call one time but decided to share about our female Golden Retriever we purchased from you in a letter so all may enjoy. We renamed your ‘Princess’, Louie. There are four witnesses to confirm that Louie was raised in a well-kept barn with her mother, father, siblings and other relatives. However, her name Princess is rather fitting as she does not hesitate to sit herself an anything more elevated than the mere floor, as if she has done this her entire puppy life!! And she is so happy doing it! If we are in a couch or chair, her toy falls to the ground, she will bark to tell us to pick it up for her. Furthermore, if there is something ugly, she will bark at it. She barks at many ugly things and Anthony says that he hopes the birds and deer aren’t ugly at the farm, for she will simply bark at them.

She was about 14 weeks when she came to live with us and she came knowing how to sit! You must have taught her! She is such a well behaved Golden. In fact, when we were at your home picking her up, your daughter took her downstairs to wipe her paws and I thought she may have also given her a tranquilizer! She is so mellow and sweet!

Louie stands very patiently while I wipe each paw and remove every particle of sand from her fur before she enters ‘her home’. If she is wet, she sits and licks herself dry. Perhaps this is a trait she learned from her mother!

Of course, this puppy is still a work in progress but we love her already. I thank you all for your care of the puppies you raise and sell. Thank you and God bless all!

Hello Anderson family,
