Some dogs introduce themselves. Others appreciate an introduction. Meet Violet, our lovely mixed English Cream/American Red retriever. Violet is quiet and gentle. She doesn’t demand attention, but she absolutely loves it when someone greets and pets her. Violet spends a considerable amount of time watching people-her expressive face and eyes following nearby humans. Violet also loves to sit in the doorway of her house and take in the blustery weather and antics of her fellow retrievers. When given the chance, she will nuzzle up to you and wait for a scratch behind the ears and some warm words of affirmation. Our canine community wouldn’t be the same without sweet Violet!

The first time around worked so well that we decided to try this a second time! Their puppies come out as beautiful creamy colored blond goldens. But the real beauty was the puppy’s temperament. Some of the puppies were so good that they were therapy dog worthy!
