"Poppy is doing wonderful she has so much personality, she loves to train, play and be in the backyard! Her favorite/best skill is sitting to say please! Everyone that meets her is obsessed, she even has a coffee shop where everyone knows her name!
She has already helped out a patient, she sat in with one of my chronic pain patients today. My patient just emailed me saying how much better she felt after the session and getting to hold poppy!
She has been socialized (safely) with trusted patients and friends/dogs she does so well with people and is just such a calming presence. She has been out to busy streets, coffee shops and restaurants while being held - she stays calm with noises and different people approaching. She also fell asleep outside while fireworks were going off yesterday while we were hosting a 4th of July barbecue!
She loves her crate at work and does not whine or cry anymore, we are still working on her crate at home! Potty training is going well, she has never had an accident in her crate and when she has had an accident it is more my fault! Biting is the thing we are working on the most, but she is getting so much better! She loves playing with my roommates dog, it took a few days of getting used to, but now she loves playing with Winnie, and can be the more dominant one surprisingly! Something else that has been so fun is seeing her spark and sassy attitude come out! She is perfect! I could go on and on but thank you so so much for everything you poured into her! "

"Riley is getting so big- He weighed in at 20 lbs yesterday! He swam and retrieved in the water for the first time like a true natural, and has exceeded our hopes for his integration into our lake life!"
"He is so brave! he has blown us away with his temperament and personality - so easy going and confident. Just such a well rounded very good boy. Everything you did to shape that has shown and we so appreciate it!"
June 16th 2024:
"Riley had had a wonderful first couple of days in his new home!! Since my last message, he has been going to the crate fully on his own to nap! He has been so confident and independent while exploring and taking in his new environment, and he loves all his new toys and his new playmate! Tucker is happy to have someone to play tug with too. Thank you for everything you did to help make his transition so easy, hes been so great."

"Olive has been doing great :) She is doing well with crate training and has been amazing at potty training. She is doing really well with her training and we are very thankful for your referral of the Baxter and Bella program! We are also very impressed by the work you did with her on sound and touch exposure. She has no issues with being touched and doesn't mind all the sounds she hears around her with apartment living. She is keeping us busy in the best way possible! Thanks for checking in :)"

"We've named our light pink girl Penny! We are so in love with her already, she is definitely the perfect pup for us! Overall I think we are doing well. The first few days we focused on bonding and just trying to get through the day. Since then we've been working on getting a consistent schedule, and every day gets a bit easier.
We've introduced her to peanut butter and pumpkin in her Kong, and frozen carrots. She loves them all and they really help her to enjoy and be excited about crate/nap time. She sleeps mostly through the night in her crate and just has to get up once near the morning to pee, and then she'll settle again for a few hours.
Her favorite toys are the ones that make a crinkling sound. You mentioned when we picked her up that she loves tunnels and that is still true! We have a large tunnel toy from our cat and she goes nuts running through it. Also, she very much enjoys listening to us play the piano for her and that's our fool-proof way to calm her down at night, although she prefers Max's playing over mine for some reason haha. Other than that, she's been getting along with our cat, Winston, quite well. They haven't had any bad interactions yet and we are hopeful they will slowly become the best of buds over time!
I've included some pictures of Penny, as well. We can already tell she is growing so fast!"

"Thanks for checking in! Chloe has been adjusting really well to her new home. She's been keeping us busy and is giving our 4 year old rescue, Ellie, a run for her money. We're so excited to have her as part of our family.
We had our first vet visit and everything went well. We also received the AKC enrollment email.
Thanks again for everything you do and for all the enrichment you did with the puppies."

I just wanted to say how impressed I was this weekend with it being Goose's first Fourth of July and he could not have cared less about there being fireworks, he was as cool as a cucumber and had a ton of fun! The exposure therapy you guys did for the pups was so incredible and I just wanted to say thank you for caring and doing such a good job with them! =) "

"Things are going so well :) We are obsessed with Arlo. He has learned how to sit, stay, lay down, jump, paw, get in his crate, and he is sleeping through the night!! His current favorite things are his moms, his cousin Saint (black lab mix), anyone who walks by our fence, and frozen carrots. He is also a big fan of any crunchy leaves and sticks he finds on the patio."
He's had two vet appointments and has done great at both. He's just super friendly and doesn't have any stranger danger. "

"Hey guys,
I wanted to thank you both for the great experience we had picking Rudy/Dark Blue. He's an amazing pup! He has those moments of boundless energy, coupled with a very gentle and loving nature where he'll just sit and snuggle for long periods of time. He has a very laid back and gentle disposition. Great quality for potential training down the road for being a therapy dog.
I also want to thank you both for being so patient with us as we agonized over which one to pick. I couldn't be happier with our choice. The process of what you do from start to finish to prepare the dogs has been an awesome learning experience, and the quality shows. You guys have some beautiful dogs. If we ever add to our dog family in the future I know we will come back to you guys."

"Just wanted to send you an update (feel free to share this if you like!)…Rudy (“Ru”) is really starting to seem at home with us this week. He’s such a smart little guy (who is getting less “little” every five minutes it seems!). He learned “sit,” “stay,” “shake,” “come,” “heel,” and leash walking almost immediately—we didn’t push him, we just tried one day and he was like an excited little sponge! He is a pretty zealous player and expert sleeper. Since we plan to train him as a therapy dog in the nursing home my husband does PT in, it’s really fun to see both how trainable and how SWEET he is. I think he’s going to do so well and bring comfort and joy to a lot of people. The puppy stage is definitely challenging, but we are enjoying building bonds with him, helping him navigate his new life, and seeing him bloom!"

"Hi Stephanie,
Daisy is settling in nicely. She is so sweet and is great with the kids. At night she sleeps in a crate in our room and whines when she needs to go to the bathroom. Her favorite toy is a crinkle sounding squirrel that she proudly carries around in her mouth. She loves going on short walks and exploring her new home.
Her first vet visit went well. They loved her sweet personality and everywhere we go people comment on how cute she is.
Thank you for breeding such a happy, healthy puppy for our family. She is well adjusted and most noises, sounds and sights do not bother her at all. I believe that is a tribute to your ESI, ENS and daily curriculum exposure. Our puppy is smart and beautiful and our hearts are full!"

"Maple has settled in well and loves her big brother, Butters. They both get along so great and are inseparable - always playing together, cuddling up together, etc. I think having him here really helped her transition from leaving her siblings and mama.
She is just as cuddly and calm as you had reported. She's also very confident and does not seem to be afraid of anything (vacuum, loud noises, etc). She's potty training exceptionally fast and well- we have bells hanging from our glass sliding door that she paws to ring when she needs to go outside. We take her outside and give her a treat when she goes potty. She hasn't had many accidents at all in the house.
We are quickly realizing that Maple is going to be our Alpha :) Butters is very energetic, but submissive. She is the big instigator for play time, so it's all in good fun and Butters responds very well to it. He's very gentle with her.
She has truly completed our family and Butters is happy to have a forever playmate. We love her so much!!
We have had such an amazing experience working with you from start to finish. We attribute Maple's amazing qualities to how much care and effort you put into the pups from day 1. So thank you!! "

"When my family and I decided to get a dog, it was important to me to find a responsible breeder. After lots of searching, I was happy to come across the website for Golden’s on the Rocks. Stephanie and Jace truly care about and provide a clean, loving home for their dogs and puppies being born before they go to their forever homes. They have many tests done to make sure their dogs are healthy before having them in their breeding program. Steph and Jace have been great resources to any questions I’ve had and are always friendly and respond back in a timely manner. We adopted our Golden Retriever, Moose, in August 2021 and he’s been a joy! He is healthy and has a great temperament. I would recommend Golden’s on the Rocks to anyone looking for a dog. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with them and more importantly our new family member!"

"Working with Goldens on the rocks has been such a positive, wonderful experience from beginning to end. We were on a waiting list for a puppy and thought we might have to wait until the next litter, when we got a call that a girl puppy became available. We of course jumped on the chance. We had only weeks to prepare but Steph and Jace supplied us with resources, information and answered the 875 questions we had! Riley is the sweetest most loving dog and she truly was the missing piece of our lives. We get so many compliments on her beauty and temperament. Goldens on the rocks continues to check in on Riley and see how she's doing and if we need anything. They are true professionals with a wealth of knowledge about these dogs and such a pleasure to work with!"

"Goldens on the rocks can be summed up in a couple of words. Professional, caring and knowledgeable. This was my first experience with buying a puppy from a breeder and to top it off, I live miles away from them in Ohio. Needless to say, I had a million questions. The reason I decided to choose GOTR was pretty simple.
The entire process was honest and professional from beginning to end. I never felt pressured during what I would consider a big transaction. They always got back to me in a timely fashion and answered all of my questions. I was giving Daisy Mae (our precious pup) as a Christmas gift to my 8 year old daughter and because the pup was too young to leave her mama at that time, they even arranged a video chat with me on Christmas morning so she could see her. What a priceless gift! They take pride in their work as breeders and treat their dogs as family. We were able to see the beautiful ranch they live on and all the dogs thriving!
When Daisy Mae arrived, she was in great condition and all of her vet documents were up to date and paperwork was all enclosed. She was super happy and healthy. She is such a great dog. She's smart, beautiful and a golden retriever at heart. She is tender and very in-tune to her humans. She kisses and cuddles us even when we sneeze, ha-ha. What a joy she has brought us. It's amazing to see her grow and watch her become best of friends with my daughter.
Goldens on the rocks are a class act.
Thank you Steph and Jace for such a wonderful experience that we will never forget! It was a pleasure working with you."
