We are very impressed with Maggie and Micah’s achievements! We know this took a lot of training but we’re so grateful for the positive impact this will give to their community!

Maggie is an absolute delight and has been the best addition to our lives. People are constantly complementing what a sweet dog she is and how soft and beautiful her fur is.

Maggie and I graduated and are now a certified Crisis Response Canine team! I am so proud of her. She graduated at the top of her class. Maggie isn't afraid of any noises, sirens, or flashing lights. We went to a farm and Maggie decided that the goats were not to be trusted, lol. But she did great with all of the other animals and equipment. Maggie enjoyed the obstacle course. She went over a high balance beam, an A frame, various jumps, and a teeter totter. Her favorite obstacle was the tunnel. She also won six obedience challenges throughout the week - the most won by any single canine team.

This Monday, Maggie will be sworn in by the Knoxville Mayor with her own first responder badge and vest.

Thank you again for such a wonderful companion (and now work partner!). Please tell your daughter that she helped us make the perfect match. Maggie is going to help a lot of people in our community.

Best regards, Micah A.

Hi Sharon!

We just LOVE George!! He has been a wonderful addition to our family. It is amazing to see how much he has changed in just a few months! He is growing quickly and now weighs about 40 lbs. We'd have to admit, raising a puppy with 5 kids has definitely been more challenging than when we didn't have kids... but totally worth it to see how much they LOVE him and he really loves them too! He really does love people and likes being close to us... he often comes and lays at my feet when I'm on the computer, or finds a spot by me in the kitchen when I'm cooking. He likes to be loved and we all like to love him! :)

It took a while for George to get the potty training down, but at 4 months almost exactly, it just clicked which made life a lot easier! ;) He enjoys hanging out with the family and spent many warm weather days at the kid's soccer and baseball games, as well as playing in the fall leaves. He also loves the snow, and gets so excited to chase the kids up and down the sledding hill in the backyard.

 Overall, he is growing into a beautiful family dog and we get lots of compliments on his appearance, coat, and disposition. We are very happy with George and look forward to many years to come with our new buddy!! 
Thanks for keeping in touch!
Best regards, -
Andrea

Hello Sharon,

I wanted to share an updated picture of Malcolm (Shasta x Storm July 2021). He is the sweetest, most curious, mellow and loving puppy ever, we are so lucky! He loves to play, go for walks, run with other dogs, chew on bones and cuddle. We can’t thank you enough for such a great dog!

My husband and 3 daughters wanted to buy me an English cream female golden puppy for my birthday in February. We missed having a female golden since putting ours down in June '14 at 12 years old. The breeder that we used for the last 17 years didn't have any puppies at this time. After a month of due diligence I was drawn to the quality and characteristics of Sharon Zook's breeding program. Sharon was very knowledgeable and responsive to my questions as well as helpful and understanding regarding some concerns I had purchasing a puppy for the 1st time sight unseen. Her pictures were not only gorgeous of her dogs but a true representation of what they look like. At the time logistically it was impossible to go to Iowa from Ct. 

We couldn't be happier with our decision!! Bailey came to us on Saturday, Feb. 27th. From the moment we took her out of her carrier at La Guardia airport we were in love. Sharon had done an amazing job of raising her. She was acclimated into our busy household of 3 children plus 2 100lbs male goldens as well as a Maltese and a teacup Yorkie in a matter of days. At 9 weeks old she took to crate training very well.

What has amazed us the most is Bailey's personality. She is able to adapt to new situations like a pro! We had taken Bailey on vacation to a friends horse farm in VA in April... an 8hr. ride from Ct. Not only did she handle the car ride like a champ only stopping a few times for potty breaks she blended right into the farm's routine which included 30 horses... 2 foals... a pug... 2 other golden's and 13 4 week old golden puppies. We have had golden's for over 25 years... never have we owned a puppy that has been so adaptable to whatever life brings on a given day. If you are looking for a beautiful, smart English cream golden Legacy Country Golden's is A MUST!

Best,

Dear Sharon,

I just wanted to take the time to say Thank - you! With having a bad experience with a different breeder it was a relief to find you. Cooper is now eight months old and he is the best dog. He is smart and really handsome. We get so many compliments on what a good looking dog he is. He is also really good with our kids. Such a loving boy. Can't thank you enough for introducing Cooper into our lives.

Legacy Country Goldens breeds very healthy and happy pups. We love our sweet girl Hallie that will turn 2 years old in July 2018. I’d like to reiterate healthy pup. Many Goldens have been over breed, but not at Legacy Country Goldens! They have a really great approach to breeding. 5 Stars!
