About Us
Love Is A Four Legged Word
We strongly believe that dogs are family members. Our Goldens live and play in our house. They watch movies with us on our sofa, sleep in our beds at night, and our Goldens actively participate in our leisure activities. They are more than just pets, and are essential parts of our lives.
Our dogs enjoy our company each and every day, as I work from home full time as an Early Childhood Educator. Apart from the tremendous socialization around our Dayhome children, friends and family members, our Golden Retrievers enjoy taking long walks and hikes in the Kootenay mountains, and swimming in many beautiful bodies of water all year around.
We understand the immense work in raising a litter of Golden Retriever puppies. It is a work of love and great dedication for the love of Golden Retrievers and the joy of bringing a Golden puppy into a caring and approved forever home. Please reach out to us anytime and we will be happy to assist with any questions you may have.
