Testimonials
After looking for a golden retriever for two years (that would be compatible in temperament and size with our resident golden), we found you. You impressed us with the fact that you don't have your dogs in kennels and your incredible knowledge of dog behavior.
We just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the puppy we got from you on June 12th. We have raised 6 puppies and yours is the best yet! We named him Darby. He is very calm and smart for only a few months old. He gets along well with our 5 year old golden, LOVES the water and he is not scared by anything, including thunder!
We have recommended you to all of our family and friends. Thank you for your integrity in raising such well-bred golden retrievers!!
Gratefully,

My new puppies name is Missy. After having a golden for almost 12 years I started researching to find another golden. Price was not a concern, quality was. After researching numerous breeders on line and some in person I decided Gold Puppies had the right dog for me.Darcy was very helpful in the process and I visited her farm before deciding. Her breeding dogs live in homes nearby instead of kennels which was important to me. I've had Missy 5 weeks now. She can sit, stay, lie down and loves to retrieve her nerf ball. Most importantly she is really smart and healthy.

It was a joy and pleasure to work with Darcy from start to finish. Our family loved meeting her and her dogs at her home, which gave us an even greater confidence that we would be getting a healthy dog with an excellent pedigree. Our Henry has become such a wonderful addition to our family! He is such a "people-lover" and "people-pleaser." He thrives on playful, loving attention and on training (he loves to be trained!). He and our two year old daughter are the best of friends. We're always catching him loving on her and her hugging him. He is very gentle and mildly tempered for a puppy. We are thrilled with our puppy from Gold Puppies!

We looked for a Golden Retriever breeder, and when we found Goldpuppies of MN we looked no further! Darcy was such a pleasure to work with! Not only were her dogs and puppies beautiful they were very well taken care of. It was a wonderful experience picking out just the right puppy for our family and we couldn't be happier! She answered all of our questions and let us take all the time we needed at her farm! I would feel confident sending anyone looking for a Golden Retriever to Goldpuppies!!

We are so happy with our Goldpuppy Winston. He is came to us smart, confident and well-adjusted, no doubt because of the socialization that Darcy did with his litter. It was so comforting to see the beautiful conditions in which Darcy's pups spend the first weeks of their life with their mothers. Winston's mother Birdie is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met.
Winston has tons of personality and a beautiful, outgoing, sweet disposition. Everyone loves him and remembers him.
We could really feel Darcy's concern about all her pups. We are so thankful that we got Winston from Goldpuppies.

We are the parents of a happy and healthy male golden retriever from a Gold Puppies litter born in February 2015. Gold Puppies breeder, Darcy, stands out amongst many other breeders with her high level of involvement. From the start, Darcy spent a significant amount of time getting to know us and our wants in a puppy, helping to pick out the “perfect” one, and man oh man, did we get the “perfect” one for us with her knowledge and expertise! We were highly impressed with the amount of interaction and socialization Darcy, her entire family and even the neighborhood kids gave the puppies from the time they were born to 7-8 weeks old. Darcy answered all of our questions thoroughly and provided us with a folder full of knowledge and information about our puppy when we picked him up. Our Golden boy is BEAUTIFUL and we get compliments daily on his shiny coat and beautiful head. Almost a year after receiving our puppy, we know we can still reach out to Darcy for her expertise and advice. We always say we hope she continues to breed for at least 5 more years so we can get a second Golden from Gold Puppies!!

To whom it may concern:
My Gold puppy’s name is Nova. As I write this letter she just turned 11 months old, and weighs 74 pounds. I am so in love with my girl, Nova that I almost don’t have words to describe my delight.
Unfortunately, we were never able to visit Gold Puppies in Minnesota. I live in Colorado, and I spoke with Darcy only over the phone. I never visited her home in Minnesota. My Husband and I were going to fly in our small plane to pick up our puppy, but the weather was prohibitive. So we arranged to have Darcy fly her commercially.
Spirit airlines allowed my puppy to lay on Darcy’s lap for the trip to Denver. When we picked Nova up at the airport it was like Christmas. It was so very exciting! Nova is so beautiful. She has long eye lashes and her ears have blond ringlets. My husband calls her special. On her AKC papers we named her Gold Puppies Nova Lynn Special.
After speaking with Darcy many times, I knew she gave the upmost love and care to her puppies. Darcy even filmed the puppies being born for me. I received picture after picture as the weeks went by and I knew exactly which puppy was mine. It isn’t hard to miss how passionate Darcy is for the breeding and wellbeing of her puppies.
Darcy excellence in breeding skills and handling of her dogs soon showed itself in many ways. First, Nova’s trainer speaks very highly of Nova’s breeding - confirmation, emotional stability, confidence and keen intelligence. Nova is a star! Second, we recently started a new obedience class with a different Trainer and she described Nova as beautiful, well-mannered and dignified. I told her that Nova is smart and so easy to train. Nova’s Trainer said I can see it in her eyes, she is very smart! And lastly, a routine visit to our Vet revealed Nova has a keen perception. The Vet confided she is battling cancer, and she felt Nova was very aware of her condition, again what a special soul, as she put it. She said few dogs have the ability to perceive this conditions as Nova did.
Nova became part of our family immediately. I am always surprised with how fast she learns. She is pure love. I find her amazing in every way. My Husband and I feel this is the best puppy experience we have ever had. I have included Nova’s puppy pictures, when we picked her up at the airport, and recent pictures at 11 months old. There is no way anyone could go wrong with Darcy’s amazing Gold Puppies!

We are so in love with our Goldpuppy Haven-Rainy! After researching numerous breeders I found Gold Puppies and knew immediately this was the breeder for us!! Darcy was very responsive and helpful in the process. I am so impressed with the things Darcy does with her litters--handling them, socialization with a variety of different people, eye contact, car rides, etc... The environment these dogs/puppies are in is amazing. Haven came to us happy, smart, confident and well-adjusted. I love how Darcy socializes the dogs and gets them used to many different situations before leaving their mothers. Haven is beautiful, sweet, and has quite the personality! The first visit to the vet let me know we definitely chose the right breeder. He made comments about her confidence and how comfortable she was in the different situations he put her in--that was all Darcy's work!! Haven is now 6 months old and 44 pounds. After 2 weeks of Haven coming home she was ringing bells to go outside to potty. Now, at 6 months she she can sit, shake, lay, come, stay, kennel up, and fetch and return a ball. Darcy-- thank you for being so amazing with these sweet puppies!! I have attached some pictures of Haven after coming home and a more recent one.

I feel like I won the lottery! I named him Bear and he is the most kindhearted dog I could ask for. Rarely misbehaves (I only remember him chewing on a sock once in the whole time I've had him!), he's very eager to please, is extremely non-territorial and non-aggressive. Very social, very friendly without being too energetic. Only woke me up the first night I brought him home and haven't heard a peep since then. He's such a beautiful color and is very affectionate.
Thank you so much Darcy for everything, your training, your advice and for giving me a best friend! Couldn't be happier!! - Patrick |

Working with Gold Puppies and Darcy was nothing short of amazing. She truly cares for her pups and makes the process very personal. Our Arlo has the best personality, temperament and is truly a gentle giant. Nothing but wonderful things to say about Gold Puppies!

We made the decision to get two Golden Retriever puppies and started our search for a breeder last spring. When I came across Darcy's website Gold Puppies, I was so intrigued because of the amount of information she offered online so I decided to call her. I'm so glad I did! I could tell how much she loves her dogs just by talking to her. She didn't have a male and female from the same litter available so we got Abby first and then Billy came 3 weeks later when he was old enough to leave his mom. I can't even count the number of calls I've made and texts I've sent to Darcy both before either of our furbabies became part of our family and since. I had lots of questions before they came to us and I've sent her a lot of pictures and videos since because I know she really cares about every one of her Gold Puppies. I've worked with many dog breeders in the past and Darcy is the best one yet!
