![]() ![]() Our family has grown up over the years and includes our now 19-year-old daughter, Camryn, and our boys, Gage (age 17) and Cor (age 15). Ironically, we’ve both chosen careers in which genetics play an important role in our industries, much like our breeding program. Today, Chad works in the dairy industry, and I work out of my home for a genetics company. Our adult Goldens are both calm in nature, as they were bred that way, but we also have “trained” them to enjoy new experiences and people. Our puppies will have been introduced to and handled by our children, will have ridden in a car, experienced plenty of outside and inside play time, as well as “outings” to the vet and new sites in order to experience unusual smells and sounds. As a result, choosing breeders that take the time to work with each puppy is paramount to how a puppy will deal with new people and environmental factors in the future. Puppies, much like babies, “imprint” between 5–8 weeks of age and become accustomed to stimuli that will affect their reactions to a whole host of things in the future. We believe that the temperament of dogs is two-fold: genetic and environmental. We fell in love with their big, blocky heads, strong conformity, beautiful cream coats, and most importantly, the calm and relaxed dispositions of these dogs.

While we had to say goodbye in time to both Ares and Zeus, in the back of our minds we always dreamed about providing quality dogs to loving families. As a true animal lover, I was “hooked on Goldens,” but after having 3 children in 4 years, we decided to focus on our own family instead of raising puppies. After marrying me, Valerie, in 1997, Chad brought his male sire, Ares, to live with us, soon followed by another male Golden Retriever puppy we named Zeus. My husband, Chad, grew up on a family farm and raised American Golden Retrievers for almost a decade. ![]()

![]() Regarding its contemporary application to a conflict between nation-states, the phrase appears for the first time in English in an anonymous editorial published in The Nation Magazine in March 1938 titled "Hitler's Cold War". The newspaper report referred to medical staff's suggestion that faith had played a role in his survival as a "truce in the cold war between science and religion". In 1934, the term was used in reference to a faith healer who received medical treatment after being bitten by a snake. The word "cold" first appeared in a faulty translation of his work in the 19th century. Some writers credit the fourteenth century Spaniard Don Juan Manuel for first using the term (in Spanish) regarding the conflict between Christianity and Islam however the term employed was "tepid" rather than "cold". The expression "cold war" was rarely used before 1945. ![]() Opponents in a cold war will often provide economic or military aid, such as weapons, tactical support or military advisors, to lesser nations involved in conflicts with the opposing country. The surrogates are typically states that are satellites of the conflicting nations, i.e., nations allied to them or under their political influence. This term is most commonly used to refer to the American-Soviet Cold War of 1947–1991. A cold war is a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued primarily through economic and political actions, propaganda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates. ![]() |
