North Star Golden Retrievers

Susan,

I’m sending a few pictures of now 10-week-old Bella. She’s absolutely adorable and we’ve all fallen in love with her. She’s such a calm, sweet little girl who’s just now starting to get into some mischief!

Thanks for your all your help and advice in choosing the perfect puppy for our family. It’s rare to find someone who cares as much as you do about both the puppies and their new people.

We’ll send more soon.

More pictures of Luke, as promised…

Poor little guy had his surgery on Monday (neutered)…they needed three people to hold him down to sedate him, apparently he was trying to lick all of their faces.

He continues to stop traffic wherever we go.

Luke is absolutely amazing!. He is a stubborn as a mule…but he is sweet and gentle and extremely loving. He thinks that he is a lap dog and loves to be held and cuddled with…My daughter Maggie holds him like a toddler in her arms…even at 60 pounds. Everywhere we take him he literally stops traffic. Everyone comments on his beautiful head and his fantastic color. He absolutely hates to be left alone…so it’s a good thing that we can take him to work!

Luke is a chewer, unlike our Sandy, but he only chews his things…can’t hardly keep a toy…he usually tears it apart instantly…including his bed…we’re working on that aspect!

I am attaching a few photos, but have more at work to send soon…

PS.  we tell everyone about Northstar and your awesome breeding!

Hey Susan,

I wanted to email you and tell you how much I love my sweet Finnley girl! When I first saw her at the airport I knew she was going to be perfect. She began sleeping out of her crate when she was about 3 1/2 months old and never chewed up anything more than a piece of paper. She can be trusted to be alone for long hours and never has to be kenneled. She had very few accidents in the house, which I credit you and your family for. She is so amazing! She is incredibly smart and loves everyone and every dog she meets. She listens wonderfully well and knows how to sit and stay. Her temperament is perfect, she’s very relaxed and likes to just hang out and snooze but when I go hiking and walking she enthusiastically comes along!……

….I can’t begin to thank you for your thoroughness and honesty as a breeder. I will never buy a Golden from any other breeder but Northstar Goldens. Thank you for providing me with a best friend that is not only a wonderful dog but a loving companion who makes my day everytime I open the door to my house.

I have attatched some photos of her.

Thank you Susan,

Hi Susan… I would like to send you some pictures of our  Buddy…. 😉 He is growing so fast… I don’t even remember how he looked two months ago 😉 He weighs 30lbs already!… WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!! He is number ONE in our family!…;) Thank You SO MUCH Susan…. Take Care….

Hi Susan
We would like Buddy to have a chance to start in  AKC events( dog shows )… 🙂 He is so cute!!! I think that he can really  win! ;))) (Susan said: “Me too!”)

This is Teal Boy from Peache’s and Harley’s litter. We decided to name him Jacoby.  This is Jacoby with his new pals. Jacoby fits just right in with our family. He is the just the sweetest little man. He has been so good for us and has brought us much joy. I’m so glad that he is a part of my life now. Thank you.

Susan,
We’re in love!  She is such a delightful addition to the family.  When the time comes, we’ll add another beautiful North Star golden to our family.

Take care,

Hi Susan,
 
I just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know “Red Girl” arrived safely.  She is doing very well.  Owen had the honor of naming her…we will be calling her Blossom!  She did surprisingly well last night in her crate — she only cried for an hour or so and then fell to sleep — she awoke at 5am…no accidents or cries during the night!
 
We had a lot of fun with her today.  We are all bonding well.  Owen said, “Mom, I love her so much I am afraid my heart is going to burst!”  We will send some nice pictures of her and let you know how she is doing in the coming weeks and months.  For now, her are some “quick” snapshots from today!
 
Warmest regards,

Hi Susan-
 
I’ve been wanting to send you a quick update on Marley, but life is just so busy with the holidays, girls and new puppy! I’m hoping that you won’t have any trouble opening the attached pictures, they are a miscellaneous bunch from the past couple of months.
 
Marley “the son of Harley”, is now 28 lbs. and trys to eat everything! He is alot of fun but has a little mischievous personality, which keeps us on our toes. He climbs into the dishwasher every chance he gets to “prewash” the dishes, chews the furniture legs, steals the girls PB & J sandwiches and jumps over the back of the sofa — its great (most of the time). He is a very smart dog and it is becoming much easier to work with him as far as discipline. He now sits, shakes, comes and we almost have rolling over mastered. I bought the furniture gel that is supposed to deter him from chewing, but Marley likes the taste and licks it off! He is something else.
 
We all love him so much and would like to thank you for allowing our family to adopt Marley. He adds so much excitement to the house! I love getting him out of his crate in the morning, he just wags his tail and wants his belly rubbed. He has a bit of a stubborn side but most of the time we find it humorous. It is so neat to be learning his personality. He is great with the girls. Marley and our cat have not become friends yet. Marley wants too but the cat runs in the other direction for fear that Marley will pounce on him. He loves the snow and likes to go hiking on the little mountain out back with my husband.
 
I could just go on and on……but it’s past my bedtime so please stay in touch and let me know if you have any trouble viewing the attached pictures.
