Brad Gates adopted a puppy out of Dolly and Gentry

New Castle, CO

I am not inexperienced when it comes to breeding Goldens, and having puppies. Jude is so well bred, as far as intelligence, trainability, and she is very well socialized to people. She has shown no fear of people or anything we do with or to her, which means she trusts people and has never been mistreated.  Jude amazes me each day with how fast she is learning things. You can't get dogs like Jude from a "hap-hazard" breeder, or a puppy mill. Breeding dogs like Jude takes great care and time. I know that, and I feel so lucky to have found you, and Jude. Thanks again. Brad

2nd Testimonial from BRAD

Lisa, I've got to tell you about Jude. She is so amazing. We took her to Boulder this weekend, she was on a leash on the pearl street mall from 10 am to about 5 pm. She works well on the leash, never pulls, she gets it taunt and then she turns and looks at me for direction. She was approached by so many people it's hard to estimate the number. We had her in and out of stores, she laid under the table as we ate lunch. She never barked, or bit. When she was overwhelmed she would come to me and let me know to pick her up. No one believed she was only 9 weeks old. She barks at the door to get out, even in the motel, she had not had any accidents inside for almost a week.
What I want you to know is how advanced she is. I have never been able to socialize a dog at the rate we have her. She goes to work with me at the lab or with Louayne to school everyday. We have never left her alone yet but she is starting to place distance now at nap times, so that is coming. Jude is by far the most intelligent and advanced puppy I've ever had at this age. She is so eager to learn, a nine week old puppy that knows very well the meaning of "no"..... it's amazing. At Kayleighs on Friday night there were about five girls and us, there was pizza box on the floor that we were eating, Jude approached the box and sniffed, I said no a couple of times, she looked at me let out a big sigh, and plopped down like she had been punished. It was clear she understood everything. We are so happy with her and she is an exceptional puppy. I believe this is a product of excellent breeding. You don't get dogs like this by accident. Thank you for Jude.  Brad bcgates76@gmail.com

 

Nancy Glick adopted a puppy out of Nova Jasna and Gentry

Bellevue, ID

Update given just a few days after taking little Tula home

 She has been doing terrific.  She is already crate trained and for the most part was from the minute we put her in there. (of course she was sound asleep).  She has only had a few nights that she hasn't slept through. 
 
She is potty trained for the most part with one exception where she piddled on a friends foot.  She has tons of energy but knows when it's time to settle down and relax.  We will start working on sit next week but she is doing very well with come minus a few sitting revolts.  
 
We love her personality

  

 

Renee adopted a puppy out of Princess and Gentry

Phoenix, AZ

Just wanted to tell you Mike's first week in Arizona went well.  He is doing well in his crate at night.  I put him inside and sit next to it until he falls asleep.  Seems to work well.  He is starting to chew everything unfortunately but, that is obviously expected of puppies. He will sometimes snore when he sleeps and it is so cute.  You were right when you said that he was a lover.  He is by my side at all times and will always want to snuggle next to me if he is sleeping or even just chewing on a toy on the floor.  Everyone in my neighborhood just loves him.  The kids especially. When I walk him the kid always run up to me to say hi to Mike.  He is just so precious.  Thank you again.

 

Chris Anthony adopted a puppy out of Charlotte and Gentry

Sparrow is a great pup, I love him to death.  He's beautiful too, looks a lot like his mom Charlotte.  He has a wonderful demeanor.  He's great with other animals and people. Everyone loves him wherever we go. 

Anyway, I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a pup for this or any other litter.  Thanks for keeping in touch.

John adopted a puppy out of Charlotte and Gentry

  Saint 'Murphy' McDonough is his name.  He is an absolutely awesome dog.  I have had 3 other Goldens and Murph is, IMHO, the best one.  Great temperament, very smart, beautiful dog.

  

 

 PAM ADOPTED TWO PUPPIES OUT OF DOLLY AND TOP

"They are so adorable!!!!   We are in heaven..  I was going to wait for you to see the pictures.....but just to let you know.....They are the most spoiled dogs in the history of dogs on earth.  They swim every day in the pool. The kids named them Daisy and Tucker.  . 
 I love them so much already. I thank God that I called your ad in the paper.  They are so good for our family.    I think that I told you that my husband developed cancer last year...this has really taken our minds off all the awful things that we went through last year.   
 They are actually the most well-behaved dogs that I have ever had.  We have not worked a lot with
training them, but they have caught on fast."   Dr. Pam Gallup  (Savanah, GA)

CANDI ADOPTED A PUPPY OUT OF CHARLOTTE AND GENTRY
Utah English Goldens presented us with joy beyond our expectations in the form of "Murphy" our now almost four-month old pup. From the beginning before he arrived at our home in the state of Iowa ,Lisa DeGraffenreid has been right there (as if in person) to answer any questions and be helpful in any possible way. Murphy is very handsome, loving, intelligent dog with an almost"human" sense of humor. Only careful breeding can produce such a fine canine.

Thank you Lisa.

KAYLENE ADOPTED A PUPPY OUT OF CHARLOTTE AND GENTRY

We just picked up our puppy from Utah English Goldens. It was  the best experience I have ever had with a breeder. We were in constant contact from the beginning of our process of finding the right puppy for our family. Lisa was so supportive and helpful. I would absolutely recommend them to any one.  I know I can call her any time with questions no matter what. That is a very comforting feeling.  Diesel has fit right in since the day he came home.  He has just bonded immediately with. He has such a loving and playful personality. He is a hit every where we go.  We would recommend to anyone looking for a golden, to look no futher, Utah English are the best.         KAYLENE CLARK (Erie, CO)

SARAH AND DAN MEEK ADOPTED A PUPPY OUT OF HONEY AND GENTRY


Maggie learns really fast.  She can do all the basic things,
sit, lie down, etc. and I also have trained her to wear a doggie back pack
and she carrys her water bottle in the pouches when we go on hikes.  She
also has learned where our mailbox is (a 1 1/2 mile hike out to the road
from the ranch that we walk every day) and carrys our mail back to the
house.  She thinks that is her very important job to do.  She just cracks us
up.  She has learned to kennel up for bed at night and sleeps in her kennel
in our bedroom.

She was a breeze to potty train, the fastest potty trainer we ever had!  She
even does her buisness outside in just one spot (I didn't train her for
that, she just does that on her own) so she is really easy to clean up after
and you don't have to dodge doodies when you walk around the yard.  She
loves to play fetch, I didn't train her for that either, she just does it
naturally.  She LOVES to go swimming.  We have 2 ponds that
we hike out to from the house and at first she was a little reluctant to go
in the water after a thrown stick, but after a couple times, she decided it
was great fun.  She takes running leaps into the water and swims all over
the place.  She is a great dog and we thank you so much for all the groundwork you and
your kids did when she was first born to make her such a stable and well
adjusted dog.    She is awesome!

THE LITTLES ADOPTED A PUPPY OUT OF HONEY AND GENTRY

We would like to express our gratitude for helping us welcome Chester into our family! We were so pleased with how everything worked out. We were a bit nervous to find our family pet on the internet – but everything went so smoothly. Chester is a great addition to our family – he arrived clean, healthy and happy. We couldn’t be happier!
Thanks again,

Darwin, Jodi, Connor and Kayli Little (Colorado)

"Chester is cute and playful. I love having a dog. I’ve wanted a puppy since I was three years old." Connor, age 10

"We love our new puppy" Kayli, age 9

THE BAUER FAMILY ADOPTED A PUPPY OUT OF HONEY AND GENTRY

We are loving him.  His name is "Moose" and it fits him quite well as he is
leggy (like a teenager). 
He has been to puppy class and we are working on basic training.  My
daughter will start 4-H with him in January.  It will include agility.

He is well behaved.  He wants to be with us always.  Even when we let him
out to "get busy", he wants to come in right away.  Moose is just the
opposite of our other dog that just wanted to get outside to run.  He is
just what we hoped for.

Thank you so much!

Tami and family

THE DENNARDS ADOPTED TWO PUPPIES OUT OF CHARLOTTE AND GENTRY

(SAVANNAH, GA)
 
The puppies (Chief was Elvis and Atticus was Earl) are beyond wonderful. The
first afternoon we had them we all walked to the end of our dock to take a
swim and splash the puppies joined right in and we knew they were family. Atticus
is asleep on my foot as I write. He is such a gentleman and BEAUTIFUL. Chief
is all dog....chewing, biting and wrestling. We put in an electric fence this
week so they have the run of 3 acres. They learned very quickly the
boundaries. They are both soooo smart. They learned sit and down and crate
immediately.
We are still working on not jumping up and stay.

Getting the two of them was smart. They are best pals. Our 15month old son
wants to be a dog.

They are terrific. Thank you so very much for all your help. We want a third
eventually.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Carolyn, Atticus and Chief
