Meet my new stud...

On April 19th, I flew to Colorado to hook up with a very cute guy that I met on the internet. I am pleased to introduce you to the new "man" in my life... MAX!















"Sir Maximillian of Rose Haven" is the newest addition to my Golden family, and will sire future litters once he is old enough. He comes from Hunter's Goldstrike Golden Retrievers (http://www.huntersgoldstrike.com/) in Windsor, CO, about an hour north of Denver. He has won over everyone here at Rose Haven, canines as well as humans! He gets along great with everybody, and is such a smart and obedient little boy! He is already well-adjusted to his crate (even sleeps through the night!), sits on command, walks beautifully on his leash, and snuggles like a pro! He has such a wonderful temperament that I'm even considering training him to be a therapy dog. But I'll cross that bridge later, after all of Zoya's pups have gone to their homes & things settle down here.

In the meantime, here are some pics of Max for you to enjoy...

Looks like Zoya's winning!
















Yep, Zoya won!









OK, let's see if Max can beat Mishka...

Puppies are 8 weeks old & goin' home!

The pups turned 8 weeks old yesterday, and started going to their new homes this past weekend. As of today, six of them have gone home with their new families (and are adjusting wonderfully!), and the remaining two will be going home in the coming days. And of course, my Diamond Girl is already home...staying right here with me at Rose Haven!

Here are some pics of them enjoying the doggie yard in the last week... Enjoy!


Chow time!
