family consists of myself, Laura, and my  children Kaitlyn, Sean, and Aidan.  We breed both show American golden lines, English style goldens, and now show and breed Bernese Mountain dogs Chesapeake, VA.
Our love of Goldens started in 1996 with our first golden, Alex.  I was a newlywed and  I bought Alex, and he quickly worked his way into our hearts and lives.  I had many different breeds of dogs growing up, saw many more working as a veterinary technician through college.  After Alex, though, I knew golden retrievers were the breed for me.  Their kind faces, beautiful coats, gentleness, athleticism, and intelligence won me over.  We lost Alex to a second round cancer in 2008.   I couldn’t stand not having a dog in the family for too long, and started my search for a healthier line of Goldens.  That search took me all the way to Perth, Australia.  I loved the look of the Goldens from my now dear friend and mentor Lillian Robinson of Glenregal Kennels.  I liked the look of her English type litter with creamy coats,”blocky” heads, dark gentle eyes.  I also liked the fact that the grandparents of the pups were still in perfect health, and both parents were certified healthy hips, elbows, eyes, and hearts.   I bought “Wilson” from Lillian, started showing him as pup in Hawaii.  He is a lovely creme color, very strong, and has the most handsome head.  He showed very well in Italy and has many CAC’s and CACIB’s under his belt from national and international wins.
