Living the Golden life

Their kindred soul and spirit of promised love is never broken.

At Promised Love Golden Retrievers, our aim is for our puppies to enhance the lives of others. Having gained so much from dogs, I am inspired to reciprocate. I believe God has blessed me with the ability to cherish, learn from, and impart the joy of dogs to others.

Our emphasis is on health, temperament, and building relationships. As previously stated, our training is dedicated to transforming lives for the better, whether through companionship, sports, therapy, or service. The opportunity to witness the profound impact a Golden can have on a life is the reason I embarked on this journey.

Our affection for golden retrievers started in 1997 with our first one, Sampson. Ever since I could utter the word "dog," I've had one by my side. In 2010, we faced the sorrowful loss of four of our dogs—Shasta, Sampson, Chloe, and Skippy—to old age. Such loss offers a chance to reflect on our lives, reassess our priorities, and decide on a future path. After a year of contemplation, I wondered which breed would make me feel secure, especially when thinking about future grandchildren. Time and again, Sampson came to mind. He was our loyal golden retriever for 13 years, more than just a dog; he was a significant part of our family and our perfect gentleman.

This marks the start of the dream. Puppies have always been my passion, yet I had never delved into breeding and was eager to share my journey with others.

We are deeply committed to you, your puppy, and your shared future as a family unit. Our aspiration is for every puppy raised in our home to be physically healthy, mentally sound, and well-adjusted to all sensory experiences. It is crucial to place puppies in homes where they can flourish as exceptional companions and/or working dogs, just like ours. Many dogs suffer from fearfulness and/or excessive aggression. Our puppies begin life by being introduced to a world filled with movement, sounds, tactile experiences, odors, and visuals. We do more than just introduce these elements; we also teach our puppies how to manage, relax, and utilize their natural senses, particularly their sense of smell. Proficient calming abilities are as vital as physical exercise. Our inaugural litter was self-assured, playful, and unfazed by noise in a bustling setting, thanks to the techniques we employed from the age of three weeks until they joined their new families. This foundation is crucial as our puppies are destined for a wide array of homes, ranging from family pets to therapy or service animals, search and rescue dogs, and competitors in various disciplines such as conformation, water sports, agility, and hunting tests.

My husband and I, along with our delightful golden retrievers, make our home complete. This passion for dogs is something we share with our family, who are close enough to assist us in raising them, providing the best socialization, and the attention they deserve. Whether it's walking them, lounging on the couch, training, breeding, or raising puppies, these dogs are a source of immense joy for us.
