We love large, mature golden retrievers. We have had dogs all of our lives and speak their language. We have had therapy dogs and champion obedience dogs. We live in a good neighborhood in Gladstone, MO. We have a large fenced in back yard with a garden and fruit trees. When the dogs are indoors they are not allowed on furniture but they definitely sleep indoors. If Rissa, our 3 year old Golden Retriever, approves you are probably OK. Dogs are probably more welcome in our home than humans as we all know, all dogs go to heaven. If you trust us with your four footed family member we will protect him with our lives and treat him as the noble, loyal, wonderful, creature he is. God bless you.
