brianne goldens (Valencia, Pennsylvania)

Anne is wonderful, cares for her (as well as others’) dogs so much, and is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and responsive. From her own dogs / litters that she provides to others, grooming services, boarding services, and advice for me and my dog’s life, she is top notch. We love Brianne Goldens!

I have a five year old Golden Retriever from Brianne Goldens and his name is Brianne’s Beach Boy Cooper. He is gorgeous, loving, kind, and my best friend. He is my fourth golden so I am knowledgeable about the breed. Brianne Goldens owners are there for me always. He is groomed there and has been boarded there in their wonderful facility. They are very careful with their placements of each and every puppy making sure that everyone of their puppies goes to a good home. All family members have to be on board with wanting a puppy and accepting the responsibilities of dog ownership.

I have been able to purchase two golden retrievers over the years from Brianne Goldens. Our oldest golden is a three year old, Richie. He is a beautiful boy which Anne and Brian loved and nurtured for the first eight weeks of his life. When we brought him home, he was already house broken. He was trained to go to bed at 9:00 pm and awaken at 5:30. He still follows that schedule three years later. Anne has been raising these gorgeous puppies for close to 25 years and maintains the highest of standards in the breeding and raising of them. Royal Canin is the only food she will feed her puppies. In my visits to see the puppies, her house as well as the room where the puppies are located, has always been spotless and without smell each and every time. Our second puppy Willy was born in the summer and I was blown away to see all the slides and toys, corrugated pipes, swimming pools, stuffed animals she had on her back porch to teach the puppies so many new lessons. She spent time each day, training the pups the basics. One of my favorite pictures she has in her kennel is one where all 13 of her young puppies are sitting “at attention” waiting for a treat. She and Brian have dedicated their lives to breeding and raising top of the line Golden Retrievers and I would highly recommend them if you are looking for an excellent breeder. In my book, she deserves a five star rating.

Beautiful dogs! However, she refused to give us our puppy two weeks before pick up because one of my family members was in a bad mood. To her he “didn’t seem to live the puppies and wouldn’t love the puppy”. The bad mood was due to him still grieving over our dog, Griffin, that we lost to cancer last fall. She may have seen this as a threat to her precious puppies, but I think it proves more than anything how much our family loves our dogs! I assure you my family loved, adored, and cared for every need our dogs ever had. We were CRUSHED to be told we would not be getting a dog, and she did not care at all. Emotionless.

This lady refused us a puppy a week before we were supposed to get it because my brother was sad when we visited. Apparently, sad people aren’t ‘allowed the fabulous privilege of owning one of these ridiculously priced dogs’. It is a dog and if someone wants to pay the ridiculous amount of $3,000 for one, you as a business person should give it to them no matter what. I am appalled that she refused someone a puppy just because they were sad when they were there. Please everyone reading this, find cheaper dogs from ladies with hearts and souls because this woman does not have either. When one of the kids texted asking if she could reconsider, this woman didn’t even have the decency to send a complete sentence. Just “decisions been made”. No apology or anything. Okay, boomer.
