Welcome to Devota's Goldens
Devota and her litter mates, born May 18th, 2012
Thank you for your interest in our dogs and puppies. Allow me to provide you with a
little background information on myself and my beloved Goldens.

I work full time from
home raising our three children (ages 9, 7, & 3) with my two Golden Retrievers,
Devota and Eliana. My background is in Equine, starting at age 10, for 18
years, I was actively involved in riding, breeding, raising, training, and
competing with American Quarter Horses. Animals have always been a passion
of mine and throughout High School I worked with my Horse Veterinarian in her
small animal clinic, mainly dogs and cats, and in the field with horses. About four years ago my husband and I moved to Georgia and the horse chapter
of my life was temporarily put on hold and I have since fully invested myself
into Golden Retrievers.
About My Goldens:
I am blessed to have two separate Golden Breeders as my
mentors and advisers, you may check out their dogs at Loveline Goldens and Season's
Gold, as well as the support and oversight of my Local
Veterinarian, Dr. Shurling, at Riverside Animal Hospital . Devota is a 5 year old fully registered AKC Golden Retriever. And, has her health
clearances from the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) on her
Hips, Elbows, and Heart. Eliana is also a fully AKC registered Golden Retriever and has her health clearances from the OFA on her Hips, Elbows, and Heart. My Goldens are part
of our family. They live in our house with us and have a large fenced
back yard to play in. We are very active with our
dogs and both, Devota and her half sister, Eliana, have received their Certificates from the AKC
as Canine Good Citizens, and are both Registered Therapy Dogs, with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We have served at three different Nursing Homes in our area, at our local Children's Hospital, and with Hephziba Children's Home. It's our pleasure to share smiles and joy. It is our passion and we love it!

~About Devota~
~About Eliana~
She is very showy as well with a light Golden coat that is very
soft and flows beautifully as she moves. She is my 6 year old's best
friend and they sleep together. And, my 8 and 6 year old can both walk
Eliana by them selves (and have for the past two years) she is so well mannered and easy going. She gets
along well with everyone she meets, even cats, and rabbits. She's a wonderful
companion and a great Golden. Her name means, 'God has Responded' and
Eliana certainly was a blessing from the Lord when she came into our
home. We are very blessed to have her.
~About Devota~
Devota
is 5 years old, fully registered AKC Golden Retriever, and has her
Hips, Elbows, and Heart checked and certified by the OFA She has passed her AKC Canine Good
Citizen (CGC) test. And Devota is also a Registered Therapy Dog with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We serve at 3 local nursing homes and our Local Children's Hospital. It's an honor to Serve and we love it. She has a Dark Golden Coat that is easy to maintain for a Golden.
Devota is first and foremost our pet and
companion. I have three young children, ages 9, 7, and 3 and
Devota is
amazing with all of them. When the kids are outside she is always with
them. Not just out in the yard, but following them around and watching
what they are doing. When my kids are sick Devota is their favorite
pillow. And has proved very gentle and careful with the baby. I could
not ask for a better personality in a dog then what she
demonstrates. She's quick to learn, driven, loves to play, be with her
people, and snuggle. She gets along well with other dogs and animals
too. She is a wonderful companion and a huge part of our lives.
Devota accepts and is super friendly to everyone
we introduce her too, but there is certainly a special dedication and
passion she reserves for just her family. Devota is certainly well
named, she is devoted to me, my family, and her puppies. It's an
unconditional devotion. I feel blessed to call her mine.
~About Eliana~
Eliana
is 4 years old, (and a half sister to Devota on their Father's side). She too is fully
registered Golden Retriever with the AKC and has her Hips, Elbows, and
Heart checked and certified by the OFA. Eliana passed her AKC Canine
Good Citizen (CGC) test right after she turned 1 years old and became a Registered Therapy Dog this past Spring.
Eliana has the
perfect temperament for a Therapy Dog, which is what I specifically
selected her for. She is an exceptional Therapy Dog. She is very kind, patient, gentle, and makes everyone
she meets feel as if they are the most important person in the
world.
~Eliana and her siblings~
~We are hoping for puppies from Devota and Rey this summer. (Rey is a Certified Search and Rescue Dog and an established Stud Dog).
~We are hoping for puppies from Eliana and Rey this summer or early autumn at the latest, God willing.

About Our Puppies:
All Devota's Goldens puppies are whelped and raised indoors with our family. I am
very active in the raising and training of these puppies from their earliest
days. They will participate in the 'Bio Sensor' or
"Super Dog" program, (ie Early Neurological Stimulation) which was Developed by the US Military to
improve the performance of dogs used for their purposes, will receive plenty of
socialization, be evaluated via a Temperament Profiling Test, (which I'll administer at 6
weeks of age, after which Deposit holders will be able to pick their puppies in
their given order), and receive basic clicker training and crate training. I
believe all of this extensive love, training, and time will help to provide our
puppies with the very best possible start with their new families and in life.
