Frequently Asked Questions
When we picked up our boy at 10 weeks, he was already comfortable with different textures underfoot, had been introduced to the vet, and was well-socialized with people and other dogs. That early foundation has made such a difference.
He’s been incredible in every situation whether it’s meeting new people, playing with other dogs, flying, or going on long car rides. He’s smart, playful, and so eager to learn and please, which has made training a really rewarding experience.
It’s obvious Marta truly cares about her dogs and is committed to ethical practices and setting them up for success from day one. We’re so grateful for such a positive experience and for bringing such an amazing puppy into our lives!
The best part is the puppy we have is extremely well-socialized, and ready to be part of a family. She is everything we hoped for in a golden retriever and a family dog. We have construction going on in our house right now, and she has adapted to all the loud saws and drills better than expected. She handled her first nail trim like a champ, and she is quiet when held. To put it simply, our puppy is a joy to be around. We can't recommend Summer's Goldens enough.
From e-mailing Marta when I was searching for a reputable golden retriever breeder, to receiving photos when her litter was born and then visiting to pick out my puppy and then take her home...the entire process was seamless and enjoyable! My husband and I drove over 5 hours twice (once for the 5 week visit and then to pick her up) because Summer's Goldens felt the most honest and comfortable.
Nala was already so well adjusted and socialized when we brought her home. I did a fair amount of training with her as a puppy, but I felt like she already knew a few things when we brought her home and she caught on so quickly.
She has been the best dog for my husband and I! Nala is such a sweet girl, has a spunky personality and is such a healthy dog! I attribute those things to good long lines of health in the dogs that Marta breeds and the loving environment she provides for the puppies for the 8 weeks she raises them before they go home.
We will most definitely be visiting again once we decide it's time for a 2nd dog. I can not recommend Summer's Goldens enough!!!!
We’ve brought joy to hundreds of families. Keep reading to learn more about their experience in working with us!
