Happenstance Golden Retrievers of Maryland

Happy tenth birthday to Olive! The matriarch of our Happenstance family and unquestionably the best girl ever.

Our three little Golden Girls are now settling into their new homes with their fantastic families!

I'm getting amazing reports from everyone... puppies sleeping through the night quietly in their crates, very minimal accidents in the house, and of course being the perfect playful snuggly girls. What a special holiday season these families have ahead of them with such a precious new addition!

The feedback I'm hearing (direct quotes haha):

"She is a gem."
"She is too good to be true."
"Happy, perfect puppy."

I could say, "I told ya so!" :) But instead I'll just respond, "Thank you for giving them the best forever homes... it means so much to us to know how loved they are."

And yes... when you see their photos you will notice that two of the three families kept their names! I love when that happens.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along with this litter and shared in the fun. Happy Holidays from Happenstance!

A clean bill of health and first shots for our sweet girls! I already knew they were perfect but it’s nice to have Dr. D confirm that fact for us. 🙂

They were absolute angels for their first car ride/vet visit, and so good in the crate.

After playing outside and running around, we put the pups in their pen to eat while we cleaned up. This is how I found them when I came back downstairs… trying to convince us to let them out again. In what should be no surprise to anyone, their plan worked. :)

One of my favorite things is watching great grandma Olive play with the babies.

Six weeks old and loving playtime in the wet grass! 🙂

Do you have a favorite?

Playtime!

Notice how clean the floor is? No potty pads or cleanup needed… They’re absolute champs at going outside. They immediately p*e and p**p when you take them out, and then they’re good for about 30 minutes of playtime before they might have to p*e again. That’s amazing for their age!

Going outside for a one-stop shop: nursing, playtime, and potty time!
