We moved out of our home and into our traveling motorhome. Evidently there is a code that forbids the keeping of pets for commercial breeding purposes. We never really considered our occasional hobby breeding of our Service dogs a commercial endeavor, but more of a way for our dogs to pay for their room and board. We’ve planned to move for the last year and ceased any plans to breed. We actually thought we were in compliance with the Animal Control Officer’s instructions, which was to cease doing business within the city limits by moving our business to Copalis Beach and Aberdeen. However, Sasha and Casper found a way, even with our best efforts to prevent it. We thought we would have found our next home by now, but several surgeries later and other health issues with the two of us have hindered our efforts. Ron is also faced with heart surgery soon, which has put our plans on hold.
Peaches is living with our partner, Kerry at Big Bend Goldens in Union, Washington to comply with code enforcement. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we challenge the court on their charges against us.
We are working as hard as we can to get our house cleaned up, and the little repairs have been piling up. We need some movers, cleaners, and handy persons to create a staging for our realtor to sell our home. We’ve been living in Copalis, Washington and it’s really not that bad living in the small quarters of our motorhome. I’m rather enjoying the simplicity and ability to rest between the work days at the house.
In the meantime, we are focusing on the other service areas of our business. We will be offering mobile Artificial Insemination Services, Nanny and Whelping Services. We are always available for Education and Mentoring which is our primary focus. Please contact our partner Big Bend Goldens for up and coming Golden Retriever Puppies.
Sundancin’ Goldens had its humble beginnings in Gresham, Oregon in 2005 when we adopted our first Golden Retriever. Abby was a beautiful Golden with the sweetest disposition and Champion lineage from her sire, Reggie. We wanted to breed her, so we looked for a sturdy male for her and chose Strider from Anderson Goldens in Oregon City, Oregon.
Our next Golden is Agent Sunshine (sire Strider and dam Abby). Sunshine is our therapy baby. We had intended on selling him but fell in love with him. His first touch was from my hands and he spent his puppyhood growing up at my side and at my feet. Sunny has an uncanny sense of providing love at needed times. We took him to hospitals and care homes as a young dog, visiting patients to cheer them up. He’s always been a lover and readily offered it to those he visited.
After retirement, we moved to Ocean Shores, Washington. When our Bearded Collie, Roxy got sick with cancer, Sunshine was by her side always comforting her until the end. We knew he would need a new companion when Roxy was gone, so we stepped up our search for a mate for him.
We were interested in English Cremes. English Goldens have longer lifespans, lower cancer rates, and shed less than their American-bred counterparts. Coat color can range from very light golden to a creamy white. English Creams have a lovely big head, lower set ears, larger eyes, and deeper chests – they also have a stockier build and a more powerful, athletic look. We found Peaches from Finch Creek Goldens in Matlock, Washington. Her sire, Blizzard is from the famous Dewmist line so we knew we were getting a great breeding dog.
Peaches is a hugger with lots of energy and great physical stamina and health. She loves to run on the beach and when weather permits gets a daily run. We call her “Surfer Girl” because her run isn’t complete until she’s hit the waves. She is especially affectionate and when she greets people, wraps her paws and arms around the waist, laying her head against the chest, always gently.
We'd love for you to join our Sundancin' Family!
