The Moms
luna kai (AKC SS23891904)
stella leota (AKC SS23891905)
Luna and Stella were born 12/24/2020 – We pride ourselves in well socialized golden retrievers who live full-lives on a 3-acre property surrounded in nature. The forested property is backed-up by a creek and offers plenty of deer, bird, and squirrel watching. Additionally, we have three cats and several ducks that the girls are curious about and gentle with.
This duo is truly better together than apart. No sibling syndrome here, only love for each other and for us. Stella and Luna are great with small children too. They have even won over dog-nervous kids with soft kisses and cuddles. Their warm hearts and mild manners are serving them well as they pursue their comfort dog certification!
More about Luna: Luna is a talkative Golden who loves to sniff and run. She loves to watch everything outside – deer, squirrels, birds, cats, Amazon delivery drivers, etc. Her happy place is playing fetch with her sister Stella, going on long walks, and playing with any little kids that come to visit. Luna is very regal too with a smile that can light up the room. She loves to snuggle in bed, usually taking over her human momma’s spot, so she can be closer to her human dad. She is definitely daddy’s little girl!
More about Stella: Stella is an elegant regal girl – she is extremely sweet and loving. Stella loves jumping off the bank into the creek and running around with the other dogs. Stella is her human momma’s baby girl. Visitors are often impressed with Stella’s sweet disposition and she continues to make people melt in her hands. Stella does not react to barking dogs and typically ignores them on walks. She will engage, if needed, but typically just wags her tail and smiles at them with the look of why are they barking? IDK Stella, and we keep going. She is a wonderful girl!

Retirees
Wilson “Moose” Wade (AKC SS05627602)
Wilson “Moose” Wade, better known as Moosey, was born June 5, 2018. His favorite thing on the planet is a tennis ball or anything that resembles a ball, including the oranges off the orange tree. He will stand on his back legs to pick oranges off the orange tree (see photo above).
Moose is your typical golden, goofy, loving, and forever a puppy. His retriever instincts are excellent. I once witnessed him catch a bird mid flight… Poor thing never had a chance. He has learned that the family chickens are friends, not food, and is very gentle and unbothered.
“We couldn’t imagine our life without Moose. Goldens really are the best dogs!” – Lindsey Wade (Moose’s human mom).
