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 toCatalina Island.  She had so much fun!  I've attached a few photos from that weekend.

 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

                    

Hello Tim...

.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!!

 
The trip back to Port Orchard WA on the plane was quite an upsetting ordeal for them I suspect. The cage was covered inside...they must have been so terrified...but I cleaned them up at Seatac and once I got them home...lots of love, a bath. a dinner and hugs all 'round and they slept all night.
    They are both NEARLY house trained...do well with 'sit' and 'come' and we are doing what we can to keep them separated as much as we can. There is no mistake they bond to each other.
    When I had them to the vet for the first visit...they were 9.5 and 10.2 lbs each...they are now 21.8 and 22.3 lbs each....have lots of strong muscles everywhere and Rolls has HUGE feet. The vet says that they could come in at 90-95 and 85 to 90 each when fully developed.
    They have very distinct personalities as you well enough know.
 
    Tim, thanks for raising such wonderful pets....you must surely have a passion for the work you do...it was the right  decision  to choose Golden Meadows for our new family...we will keep you updated on their progress.
 
These two had a big set of shoes to fill when we lost Molson in December...Diane always said he was the "Rolls-Royce" of Goldens........... "Rolls" and "Royce"are doing a great job of delivering us continued happiness...

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!

Michele and Tom

 

Hi Barbie & Tim:
 
I am so glad I found your web site.    We bought Murphy from you Christmas, 2001.  We came to your house when you lived in Simi and Murphy is the puppy of Lucky Strike and Sunshine.   Murphy was born October 28, 2001. 
 
Anyway, Murphy is just the love of our life!  He has a doggy door where he can be in or outside anytime he wants.  He is just a part of our family and is always with us.  He absolutely LOVES our granddaughter, Heather who is 9 and loves to go swimming in our pool.  Murphy is very calm and easy going and only gets real excited when somebody comes over.  He is so sweet and thinks he's a lap dog!  We are so thankful and happy to have him in our family and I just wanted to write and let you know that. 
 
I have a lot of photo's of Murphy, but only one I scanned on my computer to send you.  This picture was taken right after he got out of the swimming pool and his hair is all wet. 
 
Thank you for selling us such a beautiful, healthy dog, but most of all thank you for your dedication to these beautiful dogs.  Good luck to you and say hi to Murphy's Mom and Dad.  I am assuming Sunny is Murphy's Mom, but I did not see Lucky on your web site.  I loved looking at your new place. 
 
Again, good luck and thank you.

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!!

 
The puppies are beautiful and Cody is even more impressive than before. I can assure you that whatever pup is selected, it will be going into a safe environment with much love and attention.
 
 Thanks again and have a great weekend. 
 
Best Regards, Tom and Irina Ewing

 

Hi Tim!
Just wanted to let you know that Newman (son of Kami & Jasper) is the greatest dog we could ever ask for. Not only is he absolutely gorgeous, but he has the best temperament, is highly intelligent and extremely loving. Newman is now 8 months old, weighs 65 pounds (how much bigger do you think he'll get?) He loves the water and only wants to be around people. Thanks so much for our boy. We'll send more pictures after his 1year birthday!
Many Thanks,
Tonia & Jeremy

 

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.

Hi Tim...hope you are well and have had a good summer. Just wanted to send a brief update on Shimmy's Boys....Rolls and Royce.
    They are simply THE BEST!! This Thursday, they turn 8 months old and Rolls is 71 lbs and Royce is 69 lbs....and there is no fat on them...Royce is all muscle...and runs as fast as a racehorse.
    Rolls is built for comfort. Both have great coats and color...vanilla and butterscotch. While they are simply inseparable, they have very different personalities. Everything you told me about them has come to be true....Royce comes in from play and settles right away...a real cuddler and loves to lean on the side of the chair or your legs. Rolls on the other hand tends to take some restless time before finding the spot to lay. They have graduated from their crates for sleeping ( they simply can't get in them anymore) and they now have "big boy beds" beside us at night.
    It was a good decision on our part to get another golden...but getting these two from you was a wonderful gift. Thanks again Tim...we have two VERY happy boys in our life.
 
Jim and Diane MacKay

 

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

 

Wanted to update you on Dru.  I cant begin to tell you how we love this guy!  I already have him in his service vest working with me and  he is just amazing!  He has already gone to a restaurant with me and behaved like SUCH a good boy and stayed right at my feet under the table until we were finished.  People kept commenting on how well behaved he was for such a young dog!  He made us very proud.  Today he went to Rite Aide Pharmacy and to the Bank and he was very good there as well.    He also follows me around the house and lays right at my side against my wheelchair.  He used to lay directly underneath my wheelchair but he has a hard time  fitting there anymore.  He also has lots of dog friends, all of whom he loves to play with.   Everyone always comments on how beautiful he is also.  WE are so very happy that we found you guys and him.  Thank you for such a wonderful, smart, and amazing dog!
Thanks....Amy

 

thought I would send you some more pictures of our sweet June Bug .She is such a sweet, sweet dog.  And has such a funny personality.  She keeps us laughing.  Our Daughter and Junie are playmates.
Thank you again for sending us such and angel.
She's exactly what this family needed.
This is Junie's favorite pose, on her back waiting for a belly rub.  She always looks like she's smiling.

Thanks again,

Toby Calabrese
