The story of Golden Poppies starts in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, our teenage daughter became sick and it was clear to us something needed to be done. She needed someone to always be there for her and help her with her disabilities. This is where our first Golden Retriever, Princess Buttercup, came into the picture. Buttercup gave our daughter a new purpose again, and a reason to smile. Butters went on to become our daughter's service dog when we noticed her gentle, kind, and empathtic behavior could expand beyond just the capabilites of your average pet.

We were blown away with her intellignce and instantly knew we had become a Golden Retriever Family. In 2022, we welcomed home our first future mother, Countess Mercedes. Golden Poppies strives to give others the joy and healing of a Golden Retriever, just like Butters and Cedes does for us.
