We first became involved with Goldens about 25years ago. I learned of a company called CCI or Canine Companions for Independence which dedicated to service dogs for the handicapped. At the time, I had a handicapped child. I researched the breed and I was hooked.
Our first golden was a female name Nugget. She was a "Nugget of Gold" and lived up to her name. Nugget grew up with Jason and was not the least bit bothered by the braces, crutches and wheelchair. She thought nothing of lying on top of his crutches as he watched television or under his desk as he did his homework. She would wait patiently everyday for him at the front door. When she heard the crutches ,the tail would wag, the body quiver and the scratching at the door would begin until they were face to face when Nugget would smother Jason with wet kisses. The giggles from a little boy's heart could be heard throughout the house. They are both gone now, but the love and respect for Goldens will always be cherished.
Thru the years we have devoted ourselves to improving the breed by being conscious of what we breed. We look forward to what Lacey, Hannah and our newest addition to the family, Joey (European Import), will bring to our lives and to the lives of those around us.

The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
