Reviews & Testimonials

“I recently brought home two beautiful Golden Retriever pups from Summer’s Goldens. Their transition to their new home has gone smoothly. They even attempt to alert me when needing to eliminate by sitting nicely at the patio door. These are our 4th and 5th goldens and we love them. Marta’s adult dogs were also very people-friendly and we loved that the pups were well-socialized from the beginning. They handle all the lawn service, tree service and vacuum noises extremely well. It is a joy to witness their sense of wonder and discovery of new things. They both learned their names quickly as well. I believe Marta’s processes are attributable to all of this. Thank you for setting the dogs up for success!”

“We liked your facility and your attitude and focus on the physical and mental health of all your dogs. We could tell your priority is the welfare of the dogs, not the money. As residents of a Senior Living community, we have been warned about all types of scams involving our specific population. But after my interactions with Marta and our appointment to come visit, all my hesitations vanished and I totally fell in love with all the puppies and Marta, too!”

“We chose Summer’s Goldens because you talk about socialization issues and take steps to begin socialization early, when it is most important. We enjoyed seeing your facilities and meeting Nova’s parents.  Low volume/high quality is why we chose Summer’s Goldens!”

“We are absolutely in love with our boy Winston! He has been good as gold. We are making good progress with potty and crate training and have introduced him to most of our family members. He’s doing very well. We have loved how cuddly and playful he has been. I found Summer’s Goldens by comparing breeders… We found you all had an available litter, and a well-documented and verified heritage of your dogs and puppies.”

“Your encouragement for questions was just one of the many ways you showed your love for your dogs. I loved the weekly pictures and even watching them on your website. Visiting your facility was also very impressive. You run a top shelf operation!”

“The process was easy and we can tell how much you care about the dogs. We enjoyed the little photo book of Maggie and especially loved the blanket that had her parents’ scent on it. We could also tell that she was very well-socialized before we got her.”

“Based on Ellie’s temperament, I would have to say that from birth to their adoptions, your puppies are truly loved and exposed to so many different situations which leads to a loving, confident and secure puppy. Your weekly updates are certainly a special touch; it was exciting to see their changes each week and the information you provided was very helpful. Adoption day was such an exciting day for us and we could tell how happy you were for your puppies and their new families! My husband and I just can’t say enough about what a great business you run. We feel very fortunate that we found you and ultimately Ellie!”

“Our experience was absolutely excellent! Summer’s Goldens was very thorough from start to finish and they have the well-being of their animals as their first priority. They made our puppy-buying experience wonderful. Highly recommended!”

“Boone transitioned so well and I think it was because of his socialization. He has picked up on things like sit, going up and down stairs, and potty training very quickly compared to our friend’s new golden. I love that you socialize the dogs and all the effort you put into them. Our vet was also impressed he was already microchipped and dewormed. She said it was great! Keep doing what you’re doing! We will recommend you to anyone considering a golden and we will definitely be using you whenever we decide to get our next golden!”

“You were incredibly detailed with all of your emails regarding process, selection, care, prepping, etc. We have experience with puppies and dogs–but for people who don’t–I am sure prospective, first-time puppy owners will be very encouraged by how well you communicate. I also didn’t feel like a ‘number.’ This is a big investment financially and timewise; you want to feel part of the process, not just waiting for someone to assign you a pet. It was also very encouraging to see just how clean and warm the environment in which these puppies are raised.”
