I brought home my puppy Macklin 3 weeks ago, and my life has been changed in the best way! Right off the bat Kay was a wonderful communicator! She provided more than enough information and resources before I even brought Macklin home. She provided weekly photos, health updates, and was 100% transparent through the whole process. With the take-hom binder and goodies, you’re 100% set up for success! I’m a very active individual and have a large social circle, and wanted a brave healthy puppy who could get along with everyone. And even these expectations were surpassed… Macklin is so confident and even as a puppy has incredible drive. His first vet appointment was exceptional, and even as a chompy lil dude ready to explore the whole world, he’s been so healthy and energetic. He is the most friendly dog, loves meeting everyone from older folks to kids- lets himself be picked up and is both docile and ready to play at all times! Perfect perfect dog, I’m so excited for all that’s ahead! Thank you Kay and the Goosetown Goldens family for everything!

We could not be happier with our puppy from Goosetown. We have had him for less than a week and he is a ridiculously good puppy. Very quick learner with an amazing disposition. Yes, he is still a puppy and has his mischievous side, but even that is very tame. He is already sleeping through the night and doing some basic commands. At this young of an age, that has everything to do with good breeding in my opinion. I'll also say that the entire process from waitlist to pickup day was great. I really appreciated all the communication (and puppy pics) and the attention to detail. It is clear to me that Cory & Kay genuinely care about each and every puppy and prioritize them getting the best home possible. I highly recommend Goosetown Goldens

We haven’t never had a dog before and didn’t know anything but Goosetown Goldens held our hand through the whole process and made us feel so confident. Sending weekly updates, photos, and always willing to respond to texts. Truly could not have asked for a better first experience. Kaylynn has such great resources on her website and makes sure that you feel confident and ready for whatever your pup throws at you. The relationship doesn’t end after you get your pup either. They want to see and know how they are doing becuase they truly care. I highly highly recommend!!!

We can’t recommend Goosetown Goldens highly enough. They take the ethics of dog breeding very seriously, and it shows in the caliber of dogs they produce. We brought our golden home as a family pet rather than for showing or hunting, but her temperament has been exceptional. She’s intelligent, gentle, wonderful with our kids, and incredibly sweet.

Working with Goosetown Goldens and Kay was one of the greatest experiences one can have with a breeder. From the day I filled out the Application to this day Kay is in touch with us. The golden retrievers she breeds are exceptional for anyone of who looking to do testsand hunting. No matter what you will welcome a dog in your life that is family friendly and eager to learn. When the time is right we will be back for another one. Kay sets a very high standard for the other breeders out there!

Cory and Kay Donahue-Owners of Goosetown GoldensEstablished in 2017, we pride ourselves on being one of the finest responsible golden retriever breeders, not only in Montana but across the entire US. We focus on well bred field lines, while making health testing and temperament a priority. My husband, Cory, and I were both born and raised in Montana and currently live on our 12 acre farm located in Hall, Montana. We both had golden retrievers as a part of our families growing up and couldn't imagine a life without one! While I was growing up, my own mother raised and showed AKC Dachshunds in conformation, so I have essentially been a part of raising dogs my entire life. Cory and I both have a huge love and passion for our dogs and work as a team training, competing, and raising puppies. There are many aspects that make our program special. Our dogs are loved members of our family first and foremost. All of our dogs live in our own home or in the home of their co-owners within a family setting. All of our dogs are completely health tested according to the Golden Retriever Code of Ethics and earn titles in multiple venues including AKC and UKC Hunt Tests, Canine Good Citizen, Dock Diving, Fast Cat, Trick Dog, Home Manners, etc. Actively participating in these events is not only very enjoyable for the dogs and ourselves, but it also demonstrates the exceptional qualities of their temperaments and abilities. During the hunting season, we spend every moment we can waterfowl, upland, and big game hunting. Our puppies are raised within our home in a family setting following Puppy Culture Protocol. They are started out right by receiving the utmost quality care, food, and attention in a positive environment before beginning their adventures in their new homes. We strive to be a responsible and honest breeder so our puppy owners have an amazing experience with their new puppy and our puppies get the best possible chance at a wonderful long life!
