Chris and Polly’s experience
About Chris and Polly
Chris has recently retired from the U. S. Army, and Polly currently works as a high school counselor. We both love Golden Retrievers and are passionate about maintaining healthy bloodlines. We have both the sire, Bean, and dam, Petra, because puppies raised by both parents grow up learning how to interact with multiple dogs from birth.
What makes Chris and Polly’s program special
We perform Early Neurological Stimulation. Our puppies are highly socialized and loved by grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends. They go on many car rides and are exposed to different dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs. They have begun potty, leash, and halter training. Our puppies have also begun crate and kennel training.
