HI Tim and Barbie!
Just wanted to give you guys a quick note to thank you for our little precious
little girl. We made it home safe, she was perfect, she
didn't get sick in the car....nor did she have any upset tummy the past 2 days.
You were right, when you said she will test us.....and that she is
doing! But we will all find our groove. She really
wants to be on the couch with us, and she is the most ferocious eater I've ever
seen....so I put a tennis ball in her food dish to slow her down a little
bit. She sleeps great thru the night! And when we went
to PetSmart to pick up some stuff......some
guy came up to us, and said "she stands like a show dog",and then I
showed off a couple of tricks! ;) He
was soo impressed that she was soo smart for being so young, and he turned
around and his shirt said "DOG TRAINER"! ha ha
ha I thought that was soo funny!
Slade is adjust to her, sometimes he gets overwhelmed at her enthusiam......but
he will get used to her, and her to him. She did go lie with
him while he was getting his tube feeding, and I've attached a pic.
I'll give you quick little updates every few months....and hopefully get some
professional pics of the two of them. Thank you both
for everything!! We are soo happy, and she is perfect!
take care,
Katherine and Slade
Tim
& Barbie,
We cannot thank you all enough for the joy we continue to receive every day from our Maddie Girl! When I contacted you back in
August, we had recently lost our 2.5 year old golden retriever to meningitis and our entire family was very sad.... Our Gracie had been a challenge in her early days,but provided us much pleasure later on, and my husband and I were not quite ready to take on a new puppy just yet.. Barbie, you spent endless hours talking with me and sending
me pictures of various puppies you currently had in training - but, each time you kept coming back to "Madonna".
As you know, with a house of 3 big boys, a princess with the name of Madonna was never going to work for us!! After many discussions, we all agreed, that she would
be the chosen one.... From the minute I picked her up at the Dallas airport, and everyone that had any contact with her along the journey had fallen for her, I knew she was the perfect choice!!
She curled up in the back seat and slept on the way home and has been a pure delight ever since. We have had several dogs over our adult lives, but none even come close to Maddie's personality. (Yes, we immediately changed her name to Maddie!) She did not skip a beat when joining our family along with our other dog, Brady, a 4 year old Goldendoodle. As my husband says, she is quite the city girl to look at and the way she behaves, but then when we load up the truck and head to our ranch in East Texas, she is ready to go. As we make the trip, she becomes the country girl, ready to run and swim in the lakes and find every mud puddle within miles! She truly knows how to enjoy life to the fullest, whether it is accompanying Brady and me on our 4 miles walk every morning, running wild in the country, or stretching out by me with her head in my lap watching tv or reading.
Barbie was always available to answer any question I had regarding Maddie or her training, no matter how big or small. Usually, we have started with new puppies and had to work through the challenges that go along with that. With getting a 7 month old pup, we only got the rewards and truly appreciate and recognize the hours of work put into the training. Maddie was and continues to be a star student! Not only does she look the part, but she behaves extremely well in all situations, with the family and other dogs as well.
All of our friends are dog people and we have a number of their dogs at the ranch, but none of them have experienced any such as
Maddie!! They continue to comment on her and her personality and behavior...
A dear friend of mine that trains dogs and boards them in her home calls and begs me to let her keep my dogs.... She keeps a couple of male Irish Creams, and she now has her favorite female, Maddie, or more
fondly known as "Princess"!!!
A smile has returned to our faces and we thank you all everyday for sending Maddie Girl our way! She is the perfect companion for us
and is a great addition to our family!!
Sincerely,
Kim and Doug Hutt
Dallas, Texas
Hi Barbie,
Just wanted to send you a couple of pics of Nicki. She is doing great. Still chews on the kids toys, but not on the house and furniture so much. We got her some HUGE Mammoth bones that she loves, ha! One picture is of the day we got her and Ryker seeing her for the first time. It's one of my favorite pics because he was so happy to get her. He couldn't stop hugging her! The other pic is of her just laying down being a good girl. Thought you might like an update. Ryker sat on Santa's lap this weekend and told him that he wanted a Transformer for Christmas and then I heard him say, "My dog Nicki has been a good girl and she would like a rubber bone". Ryker's Kindergarten teacher sent home a paper the kids had each done for Thanksgiving and Ryker's said "I am thankful for my Nicki". I usually crate her right before he gets home from school because she gets sooooooooo excited to see him she can't hardly let him through the door (kind of like Fred and Dino, ha). Once he gets inside and settled, the reunion begins! She is very good for him and we are so happy to have her. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas

Hi Tim and Barbie,
I can't tell you enough how much we love our new little family member! We changed Bond's name to Brady - he is such a love bug, that Bond was just a bit to "macho" for him. : )Brady spent the weekend in SLO with us, and you'd think he'd been with us since birth! After we left your place on Friday, we met up for dinner with our daughter and friends. Brady just slept peacefully under our table (we ate outdoors) the entire dinner. The next day we went wine tasting in Paso Robles, and he was welcomed at every tasting room (except one, obviously not dog people) That night we took him to Sami's sorority fundraiser auction, and everyone was asking if Brady was up for auction. They were ready to start bidding right then!
We stayed at a very dog friendly hotel in Avila Beach. He spent some time at the beach with us, and we were literally stopped by everyone on the beach admiring, praising and petting little Brady! We had absolutely no problems at all with "going potty", crate sleeping etc. He's a dream!
When we got home on Sunday, we were all beat. Brady thought he probably got adopted by a "party family" and wanted to rest! Our only dilemma we have at home is the area we had designated as his potty area is all gravel. He will not go on gravel. John had to actually go out and20buy a large piece of sod so he'd go. I'd take him out to our front yard which is all grass, but I hated doing that in my pajamas at 6:30 in the morning as the neighbors drove by! On Sunday our landscaper is coming in to convert a corner of our yard to grass.
Brady is the sweetest companion we could ever ask for. Your dogs have absolutely the best disposition or temperament of any pet we've ever seen! We have been trying to keep up with all the basic commands. Last night as we were watching your training DVD, Brady started responding to it! It was the funniest thing to see.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy one of the best Goldies we could ever have! (People around here haven't seen too many cream colored GR's, so they keep calling him a lab)
Who knows, maybe another one may be in the horizon one of these days!
Best regards,
Barbara and John Kawahara
Hi Barbie and Tim,
Well, we've had Cooper for 2 weeks now and he is just wonderful. He is so sweet, mellow and well-behaved! We all just adore him and he is so good with our kids. He knows just when to be playful and when to just hang out. He is so cute with his toys and loves retrieving. The kids love throwing tennis balls to him in the yard. He is still doing great with his commands too. His easy-going nature combined with your great training has produced great results. When we took him to the vet a little over a week ago he weighed 40lbs. and was the best behaved dog there. He also rides great in the car. We can't thank you enough for such a great dog. He is the perfect fit for our family.
Many thanks,
Carrie Taylor
Hi Barbie& Tim,
Just thought
you might enjoy an update on Allie. We love her to death. She goes
everywhere and does everything with us. You did such an amazing job getting her
off to the right start & have made our lives so much easier. I
continue to reinforce everything that you taught her & am having a blast
teaching her new things. She's got the "wave" & rolling
over down. We continue to work on "wait", but I think that
I'm most of the problem with that one. Now we're working on giving
presents (taking & dropping a gift bag for someone), resting, going to
sleep, peek-a-boo, & playing baseball (she picks up a ball & trots
to 4 pieces of paper representing the bases). Fetching the
ball & general cuddling continue to be her favorite pasttimes, though.
She was really the puppy for us. You're right about her
having a strong opinion at times, but we love her all the more for it.
She continues to have a real personality & makes us laugh
constantly. Even her veterinarian & the staff at the Dr's.
office beg us to bring her by occasionally so they can watch her grow &
perform.
We took her on her first boating trip a couple of weeks ago to
I hope that all is well with you & your very large
"family". Have a great holiday season. I'll send you an
occasional update.
All the best,
Sue Vermeeren
.Diane and I thought we would provide you with a belated update on the two boys.....in short....they are simply FABULOUS and we could not be happier or more proud!!
Thnx again....Jim MacKay
Hi Tim & Barbi,
Thanks so much for this awesome puppy! We love him to death and it’s great to have a puppy to cuddle again. He’s very smart and sweet and seems to have settled right in. He went to the office with me yesterday and was quite the hit! Stacey and I are going to try to take pictures of both puppies in the snow today.
Thanks again!

Hi Tim,
Chamois is doing GREAT! She’s now retrieving almost any object requested and can open and close doors, and tug Joel’s socks off for him! She does a three minute out-of-sight stay with moderate distraction and knows all her “basic” commands:
(sit, down, stand, come, heel, wait, stay, leave it, “go in,” kennel up, and her service dog commands: jump on, off, look, tug, get it, hold, give, settle, go through, go in (lie quietly under the table while I eat or work), back, and tricks like shake, wave, high five, paws up, say your prayers, wipe your paws, touch, kiss, and get me a Kleenex. We’ve just begun “ turn on the light.”)
She is a complete joy… a little sassy, and vocal, but sweet and a brilliant learner!
We are shooting for August to place her in Seattle with Joel. That’s pretty early, but she will definitely be ready, command-wise. We’ll she how mature she is… She has already flown up and visited 4 or 5 times, so it’s a second home to her.
I am considering taking another puppy when Chamois leaves…

Tim & Barbie,
…Our pup rides very well in the car. In public, she's calm and a
little princess. O:-) There was another Golden Retriever
brown-rust-colored pup with a rough coat the other day (at our
nephew's baseball game) and that pup tried to bolt towards her but
she was as calm as can be. (Was the other dog an American GR?)
she sat by my side the entire time and never wavered. She
looked at the other dog but didn't do anything (same thing at
the vet's) The other pup was rambunctious, high strung, moved a
mile-a-minute, tugged & pulled on his leash constantly, barked a
lot and couldn't stay still for 2 seconds. We were quite
relieved that she was the exact opposite of this kind of
behavior. She's soft and beautiful with that cream & light
golden blonde coat. Our girl constantly receives rave reviews
whenever we're out in public and from visitors who come to our
home. We tell them about GoldenmeadowsRetrievers.
…She did superbly when we went to an outdoor cafe. She was on
a large, clean towel next to us while we ate lunch. Again, she
receives a lot of attention in public. Many compliments from the
public.
She gets along great with all of us and has fit in very well in
our home. She's very well-behaved and it's a pleasure and a joy
to have a dog like this at home and in public. She's easy to
take care of because of her behavior and so gorgeous, too. We
like her face, too -square, big eyes, well-proportioned,
well-balanced facial features, beautiful coloring, perfect body,
everything.
Thank you to you and Barbie for doing a fantastic job raising
and training her. I receive a lot of compliments not only on her
overall beauty, her soft fur … and the way she's so
well-behaved. It's her fine, selective breeding, inherited
disposition, inherited good health, care while in the womb,
health outside the womb, nursed by her mother and not taken away
too soon, training, socialization and you choosing the right
puppy for us from the beginning.
She's a real crowd magnet and garners a lot of attention
wherever we go. We receive a lot of compliments about everything
about her. She does so well at home and she's so cute. A very
nice little girl. O:-)
She has cute hair ribbons now, too which she wears on occasion.

Hello Tim and Barbie.
Thanks for the hospitality and time yesterday. I am very impressed with the attitudes and environment in which you raise the dogs. The animals certainly get a good healthy beginning!!
Hi, my name is Tracey Johnston.
I had the pleasure of grooming Gringo today. Not only is Gringo the most beautiful golden I have ever encountered, his temperament exceeds the average. Steve was gracious to inform me of your website. I will be sure to recommend your Goldens to any of my customers who are looking for that special canine to complete their family.
Good Morning Tim & Barb,
If I had a dime for every time I was going to
sit down and email you, I'd be wealthy!
I can't believe my baby Luke is going to be 5
months old. Where has the time gone? Anyway, he
is an unbelievable dog. He's soooo handsome,
intelligent, good-natured, friendly,
well-behaved. I could go on forever. Barb, you
were right, he is a cuddler. When I'm at school
and I think about him during the day I smile
because he is such a happy guy. When I come
home from work both he and Sam greet me with a
stuffed toy talking themselves silly. They have
grown to be the best of friends, and Sam is a
great role model for Luke. They are great watch
dogs, taking care of my house and each other. I
don't know where in the birth order Luke came
out, but he is not a bit shy or afraid of
anything, he definitely is an "alpha" dog. I
can't wait for puppy kindergarten, I'm sure
he'll be at the head of the class. Dr. Cohen
and Deb just love him, at his last set of shots
he weighed 30.3 lbs. he's"lean and mean" :)
The front office girls can't get enough of him,
he's such a flirt. I have hundreds of pictures,
if I knew how to email them I would, but I
don't, so if you get a big piece of bulk mail it
will be from me with pictures for you. I've
already started his scrap book, I can't believe
how fast he has grown, it must be the "NuVet
Plus" and the excellent breeding :) I could go
on forever, but I'm sure you must get tons of
great reports about your puppies.
I did use Duke's name for Luke's papers, his
offical AKC name is Golden Meadows Duke's Prince
Luke, and what a prince he is.
Tim, when you're down this way and you'd like to
visit with Luke I would love it. I would love to
know what you think and if there is anything I
can do, other than not spoiling him more than I
already do :) Well it's Sunday morning and it's
time for a Starbucks and a walk around Balboa
Island, (it's the best, Luke walks with part of
his leash in his mouth) then to the Bakery for
some treats.
Thank you both so very much for my wonderful
gift and for your awesome dogs that make us much
better people.
Take Care,
Melinda.....with licks from Luke
Thanks....Amy
Thanks again,
