Testimonial to Down to Earth Golden’s,

My name is Laura Mugridge, sister to TV star Les Stroud Survivorman and my family is the proud owner of Kayla “Down to Earth’s” Chantilly Lace a beautiful dark golden retriever sired by CKC registered Chance and Deja, two of the most beautiful golden retrievers I had ever seen.  When I first met with Dana and her father Paul I was impressed with the immediate welcoming atmosphere of their home.

Dana  and Paul took the time to answer all my questions regarding their puppies and the parents and having never dealt with a breeder before I was completely at ease.  She fully explained her puppy selection protocol so there were no misunderstandings as to how the pups were picked by their prospective owners.

I was shown around the entire yard from the outside pens complete with grass and small trees to the amazing little birthing house where each of her litters are born.  It looks like a miniature cottage.  The birthing house even has monitors where Dana can watch from her kitchen to ensure that the puppies are safe and secure at all times.  Everything is kept 100% sanitary and all pens are cleaned daily to ensure the puppies health and well being along with regular vet checkups after they arrive.  All her puppies are brought up in a loving home environment and have the most amazing personalities and temperament and boy are they smart!  Dana and Paul go out of there way to ensure that each little lad or lassie is getting the best care possible right down to buying air conditioners for the birthing house and a little wading pool to keep them cool during our hot summer this year.  I am so happy that I found Down to Earth Goldens; Kayla truly is our once in lifetime dream dog!  Each puppy is sent to their forever homes with the most amazing package from a collar and leash and toy to coupons for food, a free bag of food and all medical paperwork from their vet.  If you are looking for an amazingly bred golden retriever puppy look no further than Down to Earth Goldens.  You will be so happy you did. 

Dana offers continued support from her extensive knowledge of golden retrievers to help new owners with everything from house training to command training and encourages continued contact once the puppies leave.

I fully endorse Down to Earth Goldens as one of the best breeding programs for golden retrievers in Canada.  These dogs are amazing!

Here’s hoping you too can find your forever dog from Dana and Paul at Down to Earth Golden's.

This is just a quick note to let you know how impressive your golden retriever kennel is. I am the type of person who likes the personal touch and your care and concern for not only the puppies but the adopting families is wonderful. When I first contacted you about a puppy, you took the time to explain to me who you were and what you stood for. Since I wasn't able to come and see the puppies, you made sure I had someone I trusted come over and meet with you. Once I decided to adopt one of Essie's pups, you involved me in every step of her development. The little extras you provided were a nice touch and very unexpected. The unlimited support you provide after bringing the puppy home is fantastic. My Bella is a beautiful, intelligent, spunky puppy and when the time comes for her to have a playmate I will come back to Down to Earth Kennels without a second thought. I really appreciate all your efforts in making this such a wonderful experience.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Sunstrum

Adopting a puppy was something I did reluctantly but with my family's persistence I went to see your golden's. Much to my surprise I was so very impressed with the amount of expertise and care that you had so obviously put into your litter.

Mommy and  puppies were clean, warm and happy, even on our drop in visits. We could tell right away these dogs were receiving the best of care and it showed in the content, relaxed behavior in both mom and pups.

Since we have adopted our beautiful Jackson he has brought nothing but happiness to our family. He has grown into a strapping 75lbs in just 10 months! People constantly stop us to comment on how gorgeous he is. Aside from his physical good looks, he is loyal, friendly, patient and he listens well (most of the time)!

We are 100% satisfied without decision to adopt from you. Also, we cannot thank you enough taking him in during our holidays. He always comes home like he too had been on a luxury vacation. You certainly have earned a spot in Jackson's heart. We thank you for him!

Hi,

I'm fostering the puppy that you donated to Wade for ADS.(Autism Dog Services)   

Chyna has a fabulous disposition. 

She's smart as a whip and loves everyone and everyone she meets loves her.  Daily, I hear comments, from friends and strangers, that she is so calm it's unbelievable.  

We have no dog experience and are really enjoying having her. 

Anissa,

Hi,

I would like to tell you how impressed I am with your Breeding Program.  The devotion you have to your dogs is inspiring. And your dedication to producing healthy, happy and well socialized puppies is admirable. You go above and beyond to look after and take care of your dogs and other peoples dogs as well.   I recommend anyone that is looking for a beautiful, healthy, well socialized and ethically bred pup to come and visit Down to Earth Goldens, they won’t be disappointed, and I doubt they will leave empty handed.

Please continue to keep up the excellent work as I feel you are an asset to the breed, as well as to the families looking for their perfect Golden.

While I have this opportunity I would also like to thank you for taking such good care of my Sullivan while he was ‘visiting’ with Essie.  I have to admit I was a little jealous when I came to pick him up, he was so attached to your family. LOL.  However that only shows that you took such good care of him, which means the world to me as Sullivan is my Baby.

Thank you so much,

Maureen and Sullivan
