My golden pup is great! But the experience with the breeder was awful. Couldn't see puppies til after 5 weeks. Didn't get to see mom or dad. Didn't get to see the whole litter interacting together. She acted like she was hiding alot. Saw minimal regarding my puppy! Did not encourage anything but how good her dogs were and how good she was. Need more than that if you want an exceptional puppy. My other breeders that I have goldens from made me feel so wanted and important to know I'm what she wants for her pups. I got to do alot with them! Thank you The Golden Choice and Harvesttimes Kennels.

I have had my Xanthos puppy for about 10 months now and could not be happier. She is healthy, beautiful and has a great temperament. Heidi was easy to work with and is very knowledgeable.

Beautiful dogs. Inside and out. Their personalities are so much bigger, brighter, and bolder, than words can describe. They shine. Obedience is a natural attribute of these dogs. Their integrity is remarkable. Kindness rules their every day. They are each so unique and different but at the same time so much the same. Their spark is magical and magnificent. My family has 3 living all across the country right now. God Bless you Heidi. You have significantly changed my family’s lives.for the so so much better for the rest of theirs and mine. .Charlotte Clark

Our boy Winston is perfect. He has the biggest personality and is so smart. I'm so greatful to Heidi. She was very knowledgeable and great at communicating.

Great personality but major skin issues, had two ACL surgeries starting at age 3. Urine infections, ear infections. Our dog. Is now 8 and we've had 3 other her Golden's and this one is the least healthy but she is a good dog and loves people and kids. We had another one from this breeder with skin issues and she died of cancer.

Do not like posting negative reviews, but hope to spare another family from what we’ve been through. Agree with other reviewers, something must have changed over the years, in their breeding practice. Our vet can’t believe he is from a “reputable breeder”. Heidi came HIGHLY recommended, from a known local breeder that did not have a pup when we were looking. We paid ALOT, and drove from MI to get our pup. It’s been non-stop chronic health issues and expense. He came home sick and loaded with worms and Giardia that permanently damaged his GI tract. He is on Metronidazole daily, for life (every time vet tapers dose....he is symptomatic within 24 hours). He has joint issues, Ichthyosis AND terrible skin allergies requiring maintenance meds AND twice weekly medicated baths. Chronic ear infections, requires special diet....the list goes on and on and on....He is only 4 now , we love him DEARLY, but the money and time spent in trying to maintain his health these past 4 years is a huge on-going strain. We also know he likely won’t have a long lifespan ; that sadness looms heavy in our hearts. It’s a real shame. He has a beautiful temperament , it’s sad how uncomfortable he is much of the time.

They are so good and helpful at Xanthos Goldens. We have gotten three dogs from them over the years and would always have a golden retriever. They also have pet services on site under the Honey Lane moniker. Please check out all they do at their websites. Great place.

Xanthos changed their breeding line. The dogs from the new line don't look like their past ones
