Paige’s experience

  • About Paige

    I was a first grade teacher for 40 years and loved every day of it. What goes better in a room full of youngsters than a Golden Retriever. Since retiring, I have spent my days training my horses and dogs and playing with puppies!

  • What makes Paige’s program special

    Because we wanted calm dogs in our household, calm dogs was our priority. I focused on selecting just the right puppy from the litter, sometimes several litters to get just the right dogs for our program. In selectively breeding for calm, we bred wonderful puppies for therapy/service work. Most of our breeding dogs were in classrooms. Easy care coats and health were two other considerations.
