TESTIMONIALS

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Bailey

This summer we learned that she has a love for swimming, paddle boarding, digging, hammocking and being in the outdoors like us! She also loves working as a service dog and gets really excited to put her working harness on.

Banks is doing so well. He is the best dog! He sleeps through the night, only took two weeks to potty train, and we get so many compliments on his demeanor.

Bennie

She is very loving and wants to be near us as much as possible. She can self sooth and be in her crate or use her chew toys alone also. She is doing very well with basic commands (sit, come, down, touch—nose to palm, and up (stand). She is also learning stay, leave it, off, and drop it. She can also do fun commands like roll over, shake and high five.

Chloe

Chloe LOVES swimming, we’ve spent a ton of time with her at the cabin this summer. We get tons of compliments on how calm and incredibly good looking she is! She has the cutest smile and eyebrows too! Her puppy eyes are extremely hard to say no to. Training her wasn’t too hard, she picked up everything very quickly.

Daisy (2)

Daisy is a year already! Time has flown! Daisy is such a sweet and goofy dog! She is also very smart (maybe a little too smart sometimes) We can’t imagine life without her. She loves to pose for pictures.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Denver

Overall, Denver has been incredible. He is pretty good with his potty training, which is nice. At night, Denver is wonderful. He will whine only when he needs to go out and falls right back asleep. Though we have not started formal training, which we will start with puppy training class next week, Denver knows his basic commands. He has been an excellent addition to our family.

Doc

We've included a couple of recent photos of Doc (Hill Valley's Doctor Emmett Brown BN RN CGC TKI THD TDIA) along with his certificates of recognition from AKC and TDI for his therapy dog work. Never has a sweeter dog been born. He is our joy and sunshine, and he shares his contagious smile with each of the nursing home residents we visit each week. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to raise such a wonderful pup!

Duncan

He is still learning to love swimming and will only dip his toes in but he loves being on the boat. He loves playing with other dogs, meeting new people and running around the yard (picking up every stick of course). He graduated puppy kindergarten last week and earned his AKC trick puppy title!

Ellie

Ellie loves to play fetch, eat ice cubes, cuddle in bed, sleep on her back, explore the backyard, and greet everyone who walks by. She's the most popular dog in our neighborhood; everyone knows her by name.

Emmie May

Emmie has been growing like a weed and we are loving how easy of a puppy she has been! She is super smart! We are in the middle of puppy kindergarten training classes at the local Dog Foundation and plan to go through a few of there other classes they offer as well. We are excited to see her grow and watch her personality shine through!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Finn

Just like his parents, he loves to be close to us and nuzzle our necks, is an extreme cuddler, and gives lots of kisses. We couldn't be happier about it because we were hoping for a very affectionate dog. He loves to play in the snow and chase us around the yard.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Goose

He is growing so fast and is so very smart. Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home and now he weighs 60 lbs. He is doing great, loves going for walks and lives to fetch. His personality is so funny and so sweet. Thank you again for letting us adopt this lovable bundle of fur.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Hadley

Hadley continues to bring much joy and laughter to our lives especially playing in the snow! Winter is definitely her season as no walk is complete without running and prancing through deep snow! We are blessed to have her in our lives.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Klaus

Klaus is doing fantastic. His training is going well. He is trying to dig holes. Normal puppy stuff. He is becoming a great young dog!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Leo

He’s healthy, in “kindergarten”, loves to play, be outside, take walks and snuggle. He thinks that socks, mittens, kitchen towels, toilet paper and undies are a real treat so we are always on his case about what is food or toys and what isn’t!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

London

I thought I would send you a few updated photos of London. She was 6 months old in the Green Bay picture and 7 months old sitting by the Christmas tree. She continues to be a real sweetheart - we couldn't be happier. She is beautiful and has sweet disposition.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Mack

He loves being at the farm every day finding sticks, chasing the kitties or birds, managing to cover himself in cockleburs and being my right hand "man" for any task. He loves going for rides in the truck, but his most favorite day of the year is when I carry that 73 lb frame up the ladder for a day in the combine.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Margo

Margo has been doing so great. We call her our little snow puppy, she loves playing outside in the snow! She loves people and is always going up to our friends and family to get her pets in. She has been such a blessing in our lives. We have loved getting to see her personality grow. She makes a perfect addition to our family.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Maverick

Maverick has been easy to train, enjoys meeting new people & other nice dogs, and has a great calm temperament. She gets excited about outdoor sights/smells (especially leaves blowing in the wind & rabbits running) and always wants to go towards the water when we walk on trails around lakes.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Mavrick

This dog who I named Mavrick has been great! Right away he helped me propose to my fiance and (secured the yes). This is our first dog and it was definitely challenging at first but once a couple months went by and a couple of shoes were chewn through you could notice how quick he would learn things and how good his demeanor is. He's turned into our best friend pretty quick!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Millie

Millie does so well in the office! I work at a dog-friendly hotel on the University of Minnesota campus. On busy days, she gets to be the "canine concierge" and walk around the lobby getting pets and love from students and guests.

Misha Bear

I have to mention again how gorgeous she is… the vet spent about 20 minutes telling us how perfect she is in every way and cars slow down when they drive by to look at her. She is getting used to being brushed and puffs up just like a cotton ball.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Niko

It's so funny, when we are walking and people approach he will sit down and either wait for them to pass or if OK he will calmly say hi. I’ve never had a puppy that behaves as good as he does.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Oakley

Here is our Oakley weighing 67lbs!!! He’s a huge baby still and LOVES his pool, going on walks, and chasing his human brothers!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Oakly

Oakley graduated from his Puppy Socialization class today! It was a class based on socializing him to people, other dogs, various loud noises (thunder, fireworks, vacuum cleaner, etc.) and various objects and places. Next we will start an obedience class at the end of April, although he is already very smart.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Pepper

Pepper is doing well. We have seen a lot of progress already. She is a lot of fun.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Poppy

Poppy is eating well and growing fast! She really loves the girls. They have all been spending a ton of time playing in our yard. She wasn't so sure about bubbles or the swing at first, but now she is fine with all the action.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Ruby

We are enjoying her so much! She loved to play ball and has learned how to fetch and return. She loves tennis balls and recently got her first bird toy. She has learned to sit and stay. Ruby will get to participate in a puppy school in July to learn some more basic commands

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Surly

Surly is the best dog we could have asked for. She’s so sweet, snuggly, silly, adventurous and the best family dog.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Watson

Watson has been such an amazing puppy- he is so calm, cuddly, loves to play, and loves training (especially when his food is involved)!

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Whiskey

Water fetch is now his favorite game. He went fishing for the first time a few weeks ago and earlier this week he took his first trip into the BWCA. His training is going well and Ruth is starting the long process of getting him certified as a service dog.

Golden Retriever from a past Vorderosa litter

Winnie

Just wanted to pass along a few pictures we took of our girl from Savannah’s litter. She’s weighed at 32 pounds this weekend! She’s doing great, seems very happy and is so well mannered. She got to stay with our neighbors for a few days and loved her time with another English Creme.
