About Us
Tom and I have had Goldens since 1972, back when people would ask us if our first male Golden was “part Irish Setter”? Back when there were many people who didn’t even know what a Golden Retriever was! We’ve been hooked on them ever since.
In that time, we’ve had thirteen goldens. We currently have five female goldens and a big male. We lost our foundation dam Abbi at 12.5 in 2013. We kept two of Abbi’s daughters, Chime, who was 15 years old when she died of old age/kidney insufficiency in 2020 (Music litter) and Kerri, who was 15.5 years old (Irish litter) when she passed away from old age. We now have Chime’s daughter Diamond 14.5 years old from our Gemstone litter. We added Scotti (Scottish Litter), two of Diamond’s daughters Chili (Spice Litter) and Raini (Rain Litter), Buddy (Double Litter), and our latest is Tori, Raini’s daughter (Time Litter).
We are a small hobby breeder in Michigan striving to produce healthy Goldens with proper temperament, sound structure, and great work ethic. We have a litter every one to two years. All our puppies are raised in our home with early neurological and scent stimulation and socialization, following the Avidog breeding program, or with our two co-breeders who raise them the Avidog way also.
I compete with my dogs in obedience, rally, and field work, and retired from agility.
We do upland game hunting with all of them.
