Our Goldens
R A P T O R
The day we welcomed this sweet European boy into our home, we also received the devastating news that our dear friend Zane Schaeffer had passed, after a hit and run motorcycle accident. We held our new puppy, bawled our eyes out, and headed to the hospital to say our goodbyes, knowing deep down that we wanted to name our new puppy after Zane. Zane and his younger brothers played airsoft and had their own group named 'Raptor 6' and we felt like 'Raptor' was the perfect name for this special boy. Zane had the biggest, sweetest, tenderest, most understanding heart ever, and our Raptor is like that too.
'Benya', Raptor's Dad, was imported from 'Tramin Kennels' and has won multi championship titles, as well as multi winning champions behind him. Raptor weighs 70 pounds and loves life! He never met a stranger, whether human or animal. He received an excellent Penn hip rating, as well as clear health testing. We are so grateful to add this blocky headed, stout, sweetheart of a boy to our program!​

'Maverick', named after Pete 'Maverick' Mitchel in the movie Top Gun, is our insanely gorgeous stud. He's an English Golden Retriever, weighing in right around 80 pounds. He has the most beautiful blocky head, white fur, all-knowing eyes, winning personality- he's so kind and loving! Truly a gentleman! He loves his puppies, and will often get down on his belly to play with them, bringing them his toys and trying to meet them at their level. He absolutely loves kids and has a way about him that makes them feel safe. He's just a big puppy at heart and must have something in his mouth at all times. We are thankful to have such a good boy as the Daddy of our puppies!

Meet Esmeralda, named after the compassionate character from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. With a heart of gold, she's just as her namesake, showing love and kindness to everyone around her, especially to those who feel left out.
Coming from lines in Romania and the Ukraine, Esmeralda has an especially blocky head for a female, and the prettiest white, floofy fur. We’re grateful to Golden Dream Kennels for bringing this beautiful girl into lives; she's a total foodie, loves to please, is extremely smart and attentive, and was surprisingly chill for a teenager golden.

Named after Hiccup's girlfriend in How to Train your Dragon; who was a strong, competitive, and fiercely loyal Viking warrior. That's our Astrid! She is literally a doll. And exceptionally loyal. Also very competitive. We love her, and her teddy bear face! She's been so easy to train and is a total love. She will play fetch ALL day! Also working on completing her health testing as well as Penn hips. Thankful for Sooner Puppy Goldens for giving us the sweetest girl!

Natalie is every bit as endearing, kind, cheery, and warm hearted as her namesake Natalie in the movie Love Actually. Her favorite spot on a hot day is to lay in the kiddie pool. She is one of our biggest females, but so serene, quiet, loyal, and wants to please. She has the biggest puppy dog eyes that are nearly impossible to turn down. She lives life to the fullest and is just as happy sitting next to you on the couch as she is getting filthy dirty playing hard outside. VERY intelligent and doesn't miss a beat. We love her!

Leia (pronounced LAY-uh), named after Princess Leia from Star Wars, is our exceptionally clever little doggie, just like her namesake! She weighs just over 50 pounds, so definitely on the smaller side, but there's a lot packed in to her small frame! Famous for the way she puts her paw on you to get your attention. She is quite spunky, often gets the zoomies, LOVES to swim, has the prettiest eyes, sweetest little face, and a gorgeous, short, dark red, somewhat curly coat. SUPER friendly, VERY loyal, is totally happy being inside, but definitely loves the outdoors where she can get her zoomies out! Although she doesn't like to get her paws muddy.

Arwen is precious. We lovingly named her after one of our favorite movie characters in The Lord of the Rings. Arwen is just as queenly, gracious, and noble as her namesake, Arwen Undomiel. She is every bit as pretty as Natalie, but has more of a stocky build. She loves cuddles, loves to be brushed, and loves to gaze deep into your eyes. This description of Arwen describes her well '...her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly she looked...' That's our Arwen!

Dorothy is our pretty little light golden/cream female. She's just as pure and lovely as Dorothy from Hacksaw Ridge. Dorothy was so sweet, kind, supportive, and loyal to Desmond as he was serving as a combat medic in World War 2. We knew we needed a sweet doggie to carry on such a sweet name! Our Dorothy has the cutest little smile, is obedient and eager to please. She's a sweetie!

After we fell in love with Rose and Jack's relationship on the Titanic, we decided we needed to name one of our girls after Rose Dawson. And Rose didn't let us down at all. She's independent and headstrong, but also sensitive and loyal. She has the prettiest, darkest red fur of all of our goldens and will give you hugs ALL DAY! Just like Rose! I love the wrinkles above her eyes that look like little eyebrows. Rose loves getting her zoomies out with her sister, June- but she is also extremely loving and affectionate. Also one of Elly's puppies. We are excited to be carrying on Elly's line!

After watching Walk the Line, we fell in love with Johnny Cash's wife, June! I can't say enough sweet things about June. She LOVES people! She is every bit as loyal, warm, outgoing, kind, endearing, tough, resilient, and beautiful as her namesake. She is always up for a good game of fetch! She also is VERY dedicated to her humans and won't let them out of her sight. She loves cuddles, walks in the woods, and rides in the car! She'll really do anything as long as it's with you! June is also a puppy from our beloved retired mama, Elly. She has all of her mama's best characteristics.
