I want to let everyone know that we give God all the Glory. He has truly blessed us with a wonderful family and wonderful companions to share our life. Our children have grown up with all kinds of animals and since I was a little girl they have been a big part of my life. . They have taught our children love compassion and patience. We have been thankful for God's guidance and many blessing that he has given us. We have wonderful families whom we would have never met if it hadn't been for our beloved goldens. Thank you for being a part of our family and we hope you enjoy our site and our testimonies. May God Bless you and your family and keep your loved ones safe and healthy.

We pray for this coming year to bring good health and happy dogs. . The English Golden is different than your American goldens. I fell in love with the English back in 1993 when I saw my first English Golden. I had always had the American goldens but was taken back by the beauty of the English golden breed. Cal Vo Goldens who is owned by Carol Vogel, she has been my mentor and a dear friend. She is a wonderful lady with a strong christian faith, she has been a true friend since purchasing my first show dog from her in 1995. My husband and Carol surprised me for my birthday, Can.Ch.Cal Vo's Graceful Genevive CGC she titled in Canada in 1996 in just 5 weeks, she and one of my american goldens completed their CGC and then qualified for their TDI. I grew up and lived in Virginia Beach until my late 30's. We moved to North Eastern North Carolina in 1998 so we could get horses for our three daughters and also have more space for our dogs to run. We have a total of just under 50 acres. We have a nice pond that we use that is less than a mile from our home. We have titled 3 of our dogs in North American Hunting and Retrieving Asso. and also in American Kennel Club. We are members of Golden Retriever Club of America and the UK golden Retriever Club, our goal is to produce nicely structure and geneticly sound goldens as well as a the typical laid back and loving disposition of the golden. We have been involved in retrievers since 1976. Some of the pictures on this page were taken by Baxter Photojournalism located in Chesapeake,Va.
