About Us
Courtney’s love of dogs began with her infancy. After receiving her first Golden Retriever at the age of 9, this quickly evolved into something much more. Courtney started showing dogs and working for breeders at the age of 12, progressing to working for professional handlers after she had finished her Bachelor’s Degree. Currently an AKC Registered Handler’s Apprentice, Courtney remains dedicated to honing her craft and is learning about new breeds.
Before meeting Courtney, Arthur had never owned a dog. After watching dogs perform what they were bred to do in the field, Arthur quickly fell in love with the sport. Through their relationship, a fun hobby turned into his own serious interest. Art pursued working for and with multiple hunt trainers over the years. Training with a variety of breeds, Arthur built his repertoire of training techniques to create his own unique style.
Together, Courtney and Art have a small breeding program of Golden Retrievers. Health, temperament, and overall soundness are considered top priorities when planning a breeding. Puppies are available occasionally - learn more on our “Litters” page.
