Since 2009 · Willow Hollow, Vermont
A small nursery with an
old-fashioned idea of care.
We’re Marta and Elias, a husband, a wife, three children, and a farmhouse full of wagging tails. What began with one beloved Golden and a single litter has grown, slowly and deliberately, into the work we love most.
We don’t run a kennel. Our puppies are born in a whelping box beside the wood stove and graduate to the chaos of family life: children’s footsteps, the clatter of dinner, the doorbell, the wheelbarrow. By the time a pup is ready to leave, very little in the world frightens them. That steadiness is the single greatest gift we can give a family.
We health-test every parent, keep our litters small, and place each puppy ourselves, never through a broker or a pet store. We’d rather a pup wait an extra month for the right home than go to the wrong one tomorrow.
Health first, always
OFA and genetic screening on our parents, a two-year health guarantee, and a lifetime of questions answered.
Small on purpose
A few litters a year. We know every puppy's quirks and tell you the honest truth about each one.
Socialized from day three
Early neurological stimulation, novel sounds and surfaces, gentle handling, and the start of crate training.
Matched, not sold
We ask about your life and recommend the pup we truly believe fits, even if it means a waitlist.
Come see for yourself
Meet our dogs, walk the property, and ask us anything. We love showing people how our puppies are raised.
