Reviews From Happy Families

Henriette is an individual that holds true passion in her heart for what she does. My partner and I just happened to come across her puppy ad and we are so glad we did. It was all perfect timing to say the least. Henriette gave us such a positive experience as a breeder and we hope to bring another addition to our family through her in the future. She gave us daily updates (including videos and pictures) from the day the puppies were born until the day we got our puppy, Blu. She also would do video calls with all the potential owners every Saturday or Sunday for them to ask questions, see the puppies, and for the group to get to know each other and stay in touch as we all embarked on the adventure of raising a puppy. We are actually still in touch with two of the litter owners and meet up every now and then for play dates.

We were also fortunate enough to visit her location in Creston, BC and we can confidently share that she keeps her puppies and the mother in a clean, warm and loving environment. Her husband also shared with us the day we got our Blu that she would sing to the puppies everynight (again, this is a person that truly loves what she does). There is nothing more reassuring than having a breeder that communicates consistency with their potential owners and letting us know that they are in good, loving care.

Henriette is not only a wonderful and caring breeder but she is also a wholesome and down to earth person. Anyone to have her as their breeder is considered very lucky. I wouldn't recommend anyone better and I hope that her future litters find their forever home, like our little Blu did. He is our everything. " We are always thinking of you, Henriette. You gave us our Blu who made our home whole, and he is doing so well! 🙂

To whom it may concern,

This recommendation letter is confirming the kindness and professionalism we received by Henriette Schattling of Golden Valley Kennels. From the first contact with Henriette, we had confidence that we had made the best choice of breeders for the adoption of our puppy Maisy. Henriette completed an initial private interview with us, which toured her home and outer area where the parents Daisy and Milo both lived. She toured us via video in the care area for Daisy and the puppies.

Henriette asked if we would prefer private weekly video updates or group updates. We all chose the group; however, Henriette was always available and willing to do a private update if asked.

The parents and puppies are healthy, happy, well treated, and well adjusted. From beginning to end the information and connection Henriette was able to transfer to all the adoptive families was tremendous, accurate and comforting.

We love our Maisy; she is our shining light each day. We recommend Henriette Schattling and the Golden Valley Kennels without hesitation to be an honest, kind, ethical breeder.

Hi Henriette! We've finally settled on a new name for pinky - Nala from the lion King. Our good friends are naming their baby Maisy (due in Jan) so we had a few weeks of rethinking a suitable name!

I wanted to send a note to say how much we love our little Nala and how quickly she became a loving, fun part of our family. She is SUCH a good girl with a beautiful temperament. She's beyond what Dan and I both imagined and is a fantastic fit for us and Odi. Her and Odi are now buds and playmates. Odi is so gentle with her and they've figured out their play style, despite the size difference.

She's very smart, happy, and calm. We brought her to a family dinner last night and she was no trouble at all! Everyone wanted to take her home.

Thank you for all the care and efforts you put into your breeding program and puppies. Nala is just a delight and we couldn't be happier with our choice of puppies 💕.

Opie (dark blue boy) has been going to daycare, and has overall been the most amazing dog. He’s great with all my friends, the cat, other dogs! Thank you so much for all that you do for the pups

Rylee - active energetic young lady. Being the second biggest dog in the litter she still has big paws and long legs to grow into. Great temperament and well socialized. But spends a great deal of time with the cats head in her mouth 🙂
