Marta was amazing to work with! My Fianceé and I picked up our boy Oakley (Molly and Max puppy) one year ago and he has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is our first dog together and Marta was very helpful at answering any questions we had. We can't imagine our lives without him. He is healthy and very lovey. We are grateful for our experience with Marta and will definitely be returning for our second puppy in the future!

Growing up with a vet tech, Aussie breeder and trainer for a mom, I was very picky when looking for a breeder for our next dog. I was impressed with Summer’s Goldens attention to genetics and socialization. It definitely showed when we picked up our puppy two weeks ago. He is such a beautiful, healthy dog and was great around our kids right away. My mom just met him today and was very complimentary as well! Great job, Marta!

It was such a smooth and wonderful experience working with Marta! Excellent communication and updates about the puppies every step of the way. The adult Goldens are all gorgeous and their facilities are impeccable. We are so glad to have found this breeder.

We had the most amazing experience with Summer’s Goldens! Marta is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and caring. The facility was immaculate and the dogs looked well taken care of and seemed very happy. Our puppy, Daisy, is a wonderful addition to our family. We can tell she has been well socialized and loved from the time she was born. I would absolutely recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a golden retriever!

We brought home a golden retriever puppy from Summer’s Goldens about a week ago and it was a great experience! Marta was awesome with communication, answered all questions promptly and very helpfully, provided the most amazing photos and videos, and had all information clearly laid out and ready to go at pickup. Our puppy is sweet and healthy and has been wonderful with our three-year-old son who has special needs. I’d highly recommend Summer’s Goldens!

We got THE perfect puppy from Summer's Goldens. Sadie is smart (learns new commands easily), confident, and socially independent (neighborhood dogs large and small are her play friends). She has integrated into our multiple pet home as well as we could wish for. Crate trained already after 7 days! What a blessing it is to have a puppy who seeks to please constantly.Marta and her family - and their care for raising healthy and socialized puppies is outstanding. Their efforts towards raising genetically sound goldens is allowing us to have a wonderful family pet for years to come! We will reconnect with Summer's Goldens if Sadie needs a sibling down the road. 100% outstanding care and communication from start to finish.The second puppy in the swing is in our son's family as well. Two Summer's Goldens came to the Indianapolis area. How blessed we are.

Thank you Marta for all you loving guidance and support! First rate experience from first contact to pick up. Immaculate kennels for both pups and adult dogs. Golden focused for their needs and care. Sirius had a wonderful beginning in your loving care. At 2 months old, he crates overnight and dry in the morning. So few accidents in the house! So darn cute and playful! He already sits on command. Now about those needle sharp baby teeth....a work in progress! Here is a picture with Katie and Allen's, Helo, from a Summer's Goldens litter from March 2018 Charlemagne & Bella

We got out little guy, Augie, from Summer’s Goldens and it has been beyond our highest expectations! The entire process from beginning to end of getting our little guy was so smooth. They made everything easy and very enjoyable throughout. Our little guy came home so well socialized. I would recommend anyone looking for a new friend to check out Summer’s Goldens.

We had the best experience possible with Summer’s Goldens! We recently picked up our puppy, Henry, and we are pleasantly surprised at how well-adapted he is for a puppy. He is well socialized with humans, and he has been easier than expected to crate train/potty train/etc. Marta was extremely responsive, and answered all of the questions we had thoroughly. Pickup was easy, and Henry slept the whole way home. He loves to be held, and he loves everyone! We researched and vetted a handful of golden breeders, and couldn’t be happier with our choice. I would definitely recommend getting your puppy from Summer’s!

We got the cutest, smartest little pup from Summer's Goldens. Marta was great to work with and provided lots of great information about preparing for having a puppy, supplies to get, and training. They also did lots of socialization activities so our pup is used to different noises, people and other dogs. We really enjoyed getting to see updated pictures of our puppy. Overall, a great experience.

We had an amazing experience with Marta and Summers Goldens! Right from the initial contact we made, through the updates edited and after our puppy was born, through adoption. The communication and answers to our many questions was excellent. You can tell the puppies are well cared for and well socialized. We are one week in with our Riley and couldn’t be happier!

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Summer’s Goldens, and would highly recommend to anyone searching for a compassionate, knowledgeable and trustworthy breeder. Marta was amazing to work with, and provided excellent communication all through the process. Their facilities and property were clean and beautiful and it’s very evident they care deeply about the health and happiness of both their puppies and adult dogs. We brought home a puppy that is smart, healthy, and well socialized. Thank you so much Marta!

Highly recommend this breeder. Attention to details, great facility, easy to work with. Can trace the parents health and genetic lines, puppies are socialized when you get them. Puppies have first shots and microchipped when you pick them up. Marta provides a great starter kit with photos of parents and your puppy, blanket with mom’s scent, food, toys.

Once we decided that we wanted to add a dog to the family we spent a while reading about many different breeds. We settled on the golden retriever. Then came the process of looking into different breeders. I found Summer's Goldens on the AKC website and I am very happy that I did. Marta answered all my questions and even moved my reservation to an earlier litter when there was an opening. When I picked up Blueberry (formerly Morgan from the Zoey and Yosemite litter) I was very impressed with how nice everything was, the puppy care package was such a sweet touch. It's very obvious that Marta cares a great deal about her puppies. Blueberry is a great puppy, she is very relaxed inside and has a sweet personality. Should I find myself wanting another golden Summer's Goldens will be where I go.

Our experience with Summer's Goldens was better than I ever hoped for! Marta was incredibly prompt and responsive and worked hard to make sure all of our questions were answered (and we had alot!). She was knowledgeable, personable, and a great listener. Going to pick up our puppy and visiting their facility was impressive. It's immaculate and very obvious that every dog is well taken care of and loved (puppies and their parents). We left not only with our puppy, but with well-organized health records, food, a blanket with moms scent, and baby pictures! Highly recommended!

I'm so glad and thankful that I found Marta and Summer's Golden Retrievers. Marta does an excellent job letting you know how everything is going, a weekly update with pictures of my puppy; she also provided me with great tips and recommendations. The way she takes care of the puppies is fantastic; she cares; she loves them and works with them, so they are ready for you. I was in a different location than her breeder; therefore, my puppy needed to fly. She trained him, so he was able to do fly, she always was telling me all the information about the flight, how does it works and always open for any questions that I had. My puppy arrived a couple of days ago, and he loves to play, he gives us a lot of love and affection, he is super friendly with other dogs! I made the right choice by choosing Marta; she is the best.

I cannot even express how wonderful Summer’s Goldens is to get your pup from. Marta is so hands on from the time a reach out with interest, to the birth of the puppies. Her frequent updates and pictures made me really feel apart of the whole process. Marta was so friendly when it came time for pick up. Our new little boy was so well socialized and has been adjusting so well to his new home. He’s spunky, happy and SO healthy!

Both my boyfriend and I are first time dog owners, so having Marta as a resource for all of our questions was invaluable. She was very helpful in answering all of our questions, listing all available info on the website, and even letting us visit on a separate puppy pick up day to see the experience prior to submitting a deposit. Would highly recommend! Also our new puppy is cute as can be

We had an amazing experience with Summer's Goldens! The whole process was positive! The facility/home was immaculate and the puppies were well socialized before we brought ours home. I was also pleased when I asked about their adult dogs that they also love and train them and give them a wonderful life as well. We have had our puppy for 7 weeks now and are completely amazed at how wonderful she is!! Her personality is wonderful and many "non-dog" friends who have met her have said said she is changing their minds on dogs :) . We had a Golden before from a different breeder and we loved her very much until she passed away, but this one has been a much different experience and given the choice, would definitely use them again. We highly recommend the puppies from Summer's Goldens!

I was very eager to look for a golden retriever which led me to find Summer’s Goldens through Facebook, best choice I’ve had thus far! I was very pleased with my experience, Marta always kept us up to date on our puppy. I honestly believe there is nothing she could’ve done better, she exceeded our exceptions! We are extremely glad to now have Milo apart of our family!

This is the best breeder I've ever experienced. I would definitely recommend pursuing a puppy here. The whole process is very transparent. Everything was very well organized and professional. You can tell from the website, email interactions, and the in-person pickup that they truly love and care for the animals all the way through. Our family is in love with our new puppy.

Summers Goldens is a great place to adopt your Golden Retriever puppy.. It was a pleasure to see how clean the facility is and you can tell after speaking to Marta, the owner, that she has such compassion for her pups. She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Wonderful to be able to meet & pet the pups mom and dad. Everything they do, from correspondence to puppy goody bag and photo book of pups early days after birth was just great. I would highly recommend then to anyone who wants to adopt a Golden Retriever.Ron & Lori, parents of Jax

Marta at Somers Goldens runs an exceptional operation. I have had Goldens for many years, from different sources, and the quality and communication of her organization totally exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend a golden from Summers Goldens. I couldn’t be happier with my new little boy.

Summer’s Goldens provided an absolutely wonderful experience and I highly recommend them if in the market for a golden puppy! Marta is great with communication, provides frequent updates and was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. She was accommodating to my pickup scheduling and I was blown away by their facility and how well their goldens are taken care of. Summer’s Goldens was recommended to me by a family member and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They will be my first call when I look to get Dover a brother/sister in a few years!

Only a few days home from picking up our girl. I could not be more pleased with our experience with Marta at Summer's Goldens. Every question we had she was quick to respond to, we have aspirations of training our pup to be a therapy dog and Marta's guidance was extremely helpful in deciding which dog; including testing who would fit our needs the best. When arriving to the facility we were extremely happy with the cleanliness and home that is provided for these dogs. They are handled often, basic training and obedience to where each dog is truly set up for success with their families. 10/10 recommend and we will eventually be in contact for our next puppy as well!

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience of working with Marta and Summer’s Golden’s to bring home my sweet new puppy! From start to finish, Marta was so helpful, sending detailed emails and quickly communicating to answer any questions. She goes above and beyond to work with sensory development which made for a great transition home. I felt confident that my puppy was in good health too. I am so glad I found Summer’s Golden’s, and would highly recommend.

I could not recommend Summer's Goldens more! The whole puppy process could not have been easier as Marta was an excellent communicator from start to finish. You can really tell that she cares about her dogs and their puppies. Our new puppy has such a great temperament, and we're so impressed with how socialized and adjusted she is. If you want a high quality golden retriever, look no further than Summer's Goldens!

Summer’s Goldens is OUTSTANDING. From the very beginning our communication was thorough and Marta responded to all my questions quickly. The breeding facility is absolutely amazing! All the dogs were visible and happy and clean! We were so impressed by the environment they have created for their Goldens. This is the most impressive breeder we have ever encountered. This is our third golden and I would absolutely rely on Summer’s Goldens again. Our experience was positive from deposit to pick up day! Amazing.
