Not your average love story

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

You know those people who meet their soulmate and just know?
That’s kind of how it is when the right person meets the right puppy.

It’s not just the cuddles or the wagging tail (although let’s be honest… those help).

It’s the way your stress melts when they lay their head in your lap.
It’s how they make you laugh when you need it most.
It’s the nudge they give you to get outside, even when you didn’t plan on moving off the couch.

Goldens don’t just fit into your life.
They elevate it.

→ They remind you to slow down.
→ They help you feel less alone.
→ They give kids a loyal best friend.
→ They bring joy to routines that used to feel… routine.

And when they’re raised the right way, ethically, intentionally, and with all the love and early guidance they need, they don’t just become great dogs.

They become family.

That’s why we do what we do here at Fox Ridge Goldens.

It’s not just about puppies.
It’s about connection.
Companionship.
Raising dogs who will make their people’s lives better.

So if you’ve been feeling that pull—that I think I’m ready feeling…

You might be one decision away from meeting your forever sidekick.

Pups & possibility,

P.S. Some love stories have fur, four legs, and a tail that never stops wagging.

It feels personal… but it’s not.It’s just biology. Teething is one of the messiest, most misunderstood phases of puppyhood. And if you don’t know what’s normal, and what’s not, you’ll spend those months frustrated, covered in bite marks, and wondering if you adopted a Golden or a piranha. Here’s...

Your puppy’s real favorite toy

Hey Reader, If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably bought your fair share of “must-have” puppy toys… ropes, squeakers, tennis balls, plush animals, you name it. You bring them home, expecting your puppy to lose their mind over the new squeaky duck… and instead, they run right past it to chew on your shoelace. Here’s the thing your puppy isn’t telling you… Their favorite toy isn’t the one with the loudest squeak or the fanciest packaging. It’s you. Your voice.Your attention.Your time....
