We hope that you will see how much it means to us, to make sure  that you get a very happy, healthy, well-socialized, and of course Extraordinarily good looking Golden Retriever or Goldendoodle.  We love "the work" that the Lord has blessed us with.  Yes, we do stay busy.  There is always a lot going on here - and it is truly an adventuresome way of life.  We picked the name Hearthside - because sitting in front of the fireplace is where we get a lot of our best family time, and we want to portray the old fashioned image of a sweet, and very loved pet - sitting by a fireplace with the family.  Country - because we are out in the country, and love that we get to enjoy the rural country lifestyle.  Our Hearthside Country puppies are raised by our family - lots of play time and baby exercise time, and grooming and picture taking - plus routine vaccinations, de-worming meds, a thorough well-baby vet check - all that is part of each puppies' growing up time here at our place.
    Here at Hearthside (our home), we get inspected 2 (two) times a year by our Missouri state inspectors.  Missouri has one of the best state agriculture departments.  We have always passed our inspections with flying colors - yep, let's raise the flag and tell everyone.  We thank the Lord, He has given us that love for Him, and for all of His creation.  We don't just try to meet the regulation standard here - we have created a place for our dogs, that gives them lots of room, and fun things to do.  All of our dogs are very loved, and it shows, they love attention and come running to greet you - happy faces, waggy tails, and lots of kisses to give and get.  :o) 

We love our dogs, we love their sweet babies, we love our vet and everyone at their office too, and we love so many of you out there that we have gotten to know mostly because you are looking for that perfect new puppy to add to your
family.  We also love the Lord Jesus Christ.  Without Him, our lives would be meaningless.  Jesus gives us a song to sing. 

     Jeff and I have been married since Aug. 1980 - 33 years as of right now.  We have 5 wonderful children, 12 to 35 years old.  Two grandsons in Phoenix, and twins that are just 15 minutes away.  Hooray for Grandbabies!
We also are so thankful for what the Lord has given us to do here, w/our 4 legged kiddos, that run around here.  Our adults and puppies have lots of room to run.  No one is in a 'cage' of any type, except when getting dried, after a good bath and groom.  I love coming up with names for our puppies, we do use them while they are growing up, but please feel free to give your baby what ever name you want to, these are not intended to be permanent names.  :o)  I do think that calling them by a name here, helps to increase their intelligence from the start.   
     We have always lived here in Mountain Grove, for our whole married life.  I was born and raised in CA, Jeff was born and raised about 4 hours north of here.  . . . .  Sounds like a life story coming on  . . . .   better quit while I'm ahead.               I talk too much.
