Have been doing a lot of reading on this forum while doing research for our breeder (The forum says 204 days now!)
It feels like a lifetime but I wanted to make sure to get this right! So I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself.

I grew up with a Golden named Nikki and she was my very best friend. She lived to be nearly 16, so she had a good long life, but it's never long enough!
I've been waiting 12 years for the right time to bring another golden into my life. My husband had beagles when we met, and we lost the last one a couple of years ago; 2 lost to cancer, one to kidney disease, luckily the last one lived through to be an old fellow! After a long-distance move, we found ourselves renting a house. We could have had a dog there, but it would have proved quite costly, and since we didn't have any left, we decided to wait until we'd bought another house. That moment finally came earlier in the year; a good, safe place to raise a puppy and a home with plenty of room!

Our daughter is of a great age now to be able to help be responsible for the dog; and that's a huge reason why I wanted to pick the right breeder (we believe we've found that in Topbrass, one of her "general purpose" litters); I feel picking the right breeder is so important - so we can get the right dog - because he'll probably become our daughter's best friend.

I so appreciate all the threads on here which led me to my conclusion!

Thanks for reading my intro! Looking forward to (eventually) posting photos of our boy, who is not yet conceived, but is loved already!
