A little information on our dogs.

Harper

Harper has grown into quite the sweetheart.  She is buds with our youngest daughter Audrey, who began working with her as a puppy.  She will follow Audrey around wherever she is and whatever she is doing.  She feels safe and content just being with us.  She is very obedient.  She is always seeking our approval.  Her personality is one of fellowship and caution, always checking with us to make sure we approve.  It is really endearing.  She has been easy to train as she was quick pick up on how the other dogs act.  She has always been gentle whether familiar or unfamiliar with those around her.  She has her eye health certification and will be getting her hip and elbow certifications early 2021.  Harper  has a decorated pedigree well above her paygrade.  She will be having her first litter (Goldendoodles) Christmas 2020

                       Lily
Lily thrives on affection.  In fact she can hardly stand being in the same room without being next to you.  She joins us regularly for dinner (by sitting under the table) I've tried to tell her otherwise but have given in to her persistence.  You can tell she is happy being a "close" member of the family.  She loves to play fetch and will usually find a ball and bring it to us to play.  Lily is currently working on her AKC Therapy Dog title.  She is also certified through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs.  She has been going to schools to spend time with kids that have special needs.  She also makes visits to care centers.  She is happy when she gets to serve in this capacity.    

Bear

Bear is one of the most tender-hearted Goldens I have ever seen.  He has been gentle from day one.  Whether its kids, strangers, or other puppies he keeps his cool.  He is also been the easiest to teach.  My son (who was 8 at the time) had him sitting, staying, and rolling over after practicing for only a day.  Bear and Jonas (my son) have formed a close bond.  They enjoy doing things together.  Bear has been a good hiking companion.  He is willing and able to pack for the kids to keep their packs as light as possible.  Bear can literally smile.  Its fun to get him excited about something and watch his facial expressions.  He is happy and content just being with the family in whatever we are doing.  Bear has his hip and eye certification.

Molly

Molly is very obedient.  When she is told to stay on her mat (in our house) she will not leave until told otherwise, even overnight!  When we are with her it seems like she knows what we want before we even tell her.  She is very perceptive that way.  Molly lets us know she's a member of the family.  If given the chance she will hop in the car anytime we are leaving the house.  She is very athletic and has and endless supply of energy BUT knows how to "shut it down" and be gentle.  She loves to run and loves the water.  She has been a great outdoor companion.  On hikes she loves to keep tabs on everyone, going from the front to the back of the group.  She has her OFA hip certification.  Her pups have been successful bird dogs and great family pets.
