We Love to Hear from our Customers and see the puppies growing!
Hi Kenny & Sheldene,
It’s been about a year since we picked up Thor from you guys, so I thought it would be nice to give you an update! He’s a 72 pound cuddle bug. We love him! Watching him grow has been so much fun. He loves being outside whether we’re on a walk or going hiking. He gets along great with our two cats and sometimes they all try to drink out of the same water bowl!
We’ll be looking for a second dog soon, and will definitely be reaching out when the time comes!

We love him so much! He is doing great with house training and knows how to sit and waits for treats so patiently when he comes in from outside:)
Hi Sheldene and Kenny,
Wanted to give you an update on Thor since it’s been a few months since we’ve had him! He’s doing amazing. We couldn’t imagine life without him! He’s very playful and affectionate. He’s super hyper, but when it’s time to settle down he loves to cuddle!! He’s going to be a big boy so his names suits him well lol. Our families and neighbors love him! Such a friendly dog and we’re so happy he’s a part of our family. Thank you so much!!

Hi Kenny and Sheldene,
We wanted to let you know that Gracie is doing wonderfully and adjusting very well. She hasn’t cried and just fits right in at our home. She also seems to be house broken already and loves the yard.
Thanks again,
Allison

Tobin is 3 months today and so full of energy. He is a happy puppy, enjoys his sister Annie and everybody who meets him wants a puppy. I use your kennel for those who are looking for a puppy. I swear sometimes he may be our golden Biscuit who passed in April reincarnated. Sometimes I slip and say Biscuit. He looks at me and answers. You have made our lives happy again. I would most definitely if looking for another golden reserve one from your family. Goldens are a special breed and your kennel with the love of the breed make it possible to have one. I am thankful Tobin was exposed to outside world as well as adults and children. He makes us laugh and keeps us busy. Thank you to your family for breeding awesome puppies and especially understanding goldens. Thank you again Brenda Scott Annie and Tobin
Bailey's doing really well at sitting, and lying down is coming along great as well. She is learning to shake hands and we are working on the biting/hard mouthing and that is progressing nicely, I think.
Potty training is great! She sits by our back door and barks when she really has to go, but we’ve had the typical few accidents so we aren’t perfect yet!
We are all so happy to have her in our life and it’s made this time of forced home so much more enjoyable. I’m so happy we were able to connect with you and I’m hoping you are doing this in another year or two when we decide to get our 2nd one!!!
Thank you,
Catherine, Jim, Sarah, Jessica, & Bailey

Hi Kenny, we just wanted to send you this picture of Milo. He is doing great and making himself right at home! I also wanted to mention to you how thankful we are that he was exposed to the children in your family in his first weeks because he has been amazing with the babies and kids he has met. This was very important to us. He is so happy and so are we! :-) Ryan
We wanted to send you some pictures of Poe since he is officially 4 months old. We have been loving having him as a part of our family. He is too cute and everyone who meets him is instantly in love. Poe is very sweet and loves to give kisses now that he knows bites are bad! He adapts easily to our routine for work or the weekends and is very easy going. He has met a lot of people and dog friends and gets along great with everyone. We really could have not asked for a better puppy and we just wanted to thank you! I hope you enjoy the pictures of him!
Thank you,
Lynn and Justin
Hello!
I just have to tell you what a sweet puppy Benji is! He is growing so fast and such a good puppy! We love him so much and hope he is happy with us! He loves the snow, the kids and our cat too. He fits in so well! Thank you so much for a wonderful puppy!
Dina
Hello!
She is doing great! She is a really smart dog. We even took her on our first family tent camping trip last weekend. She came canoeing with us and everything. Amanda and Wayne

Wanted to send you an update on Missy. It'll soon be a year since we adopted Missy from you. She has been a VERY good puppy. No health issues at all. She loves playing ball with our son. We've had many good comments on her coloring.
I know it's hard to see in the photo but she does have the reddish color in her hair. My husband and I have talked about getting another one. So we might contact you in another year or so, once Missy is through her "puppy phase". Thanks, Linda 
"Halo has been a blessing to our family in every way. Our children adore her and she is their shadow following them around, tolerating their pulls and tugs, and sleeping next to them as they play. She is certainly a very devoted and loving dog and we are so thankful to have found her!" Ashley

Ginger and Teddy's puppy. Sent from Brian
Toby
Say hello to Toby. My wife and I got him from Teddy and Lady's litter in the summer of 2011 and we couldn't be happier with him. Golden Retrievers are generally known for being one of the friendliest breeds around, and Toby is no exception. In fact, prior to Toby, I had only ever had cats. Don't get me wrong, I loved my cats, but Toby has completely converted me to a dog person!
It was extremely easy to potty train him, socialize him with other dogs, and teach him basic obedience He NEVER barks (unless of course he feels threatened, which is extremely rare), he NEVER chews anything besides his toys, and he does whatever he can to please us. If you don't think a large breed can make a good lap dog, think again. Just about every night when I come home from
work, Toby is there happily waiting to curl up on the couch with my wife and me. A lot of a dog's personality is determined by his parents, so I can say with confidence that Teddy and Lady represent an EXCEPTIONAL breeding line. So far every vet visit has resulted in the same thing: praise and fawning over how fit, healthy, and good looking Toby is. We're very proud to introduce people to Toby, and he just LOVES meeting new people too!
Not only did we get a wonderful new member of the family, but the experience of picking him couldn't have gone any better. Kenny and Sheldene are FANTASTIC breeders, and two of the friendliest people we've met. Every week since deciding we wanted to adopt one of their puppies, they would e-mail us cute progress photos. They were also extremely prompt in general with their e-mail responses, and they answered every question we could think of. The puppies are socialized nearly from birth by the Horsts' young children, adding to the dogs' already cheerful temperament. Bottom line, we are extremely happy with our dog, and Sunshine Golden Retrievers can consider us customers for life!

Hello. This is Jenn. I brought home one of Ginger and Teddy's pups this past spring. He was the brown collar. His name is now Luke and he's 8 months old. He's a very happy dog. There hasn't been one time that I have walked him that I haven't gotten stopped by someone telling me how handsome he is and I've even given your information out to someone who was interested in a pup. I can't thank you enough for my baby boy. He is spoiled and loved.
