Arrival Story:
I searched the internet for local breeders to get a Golden Retriever that I could train to be my service dog. My family and I wanted a dog that could fulfill the role of service dog and be a member of our family too. During the visit with Marty's breeder, we narrowed our search down to two dogs. Marty broke away from the litter and walked straight up to me as if he was introducing himself... and after doing the same thing to my daughter, we just had to add him to our family.

Bio:
Marty is absolutely handsome with great conformation...his father is a 100% English Creme Golden Retriever with his own titles in addition to champion lines; his mother has champion lines as well and is three-quarters American Golden Retriever. Marty started off the same size as the other pups we saw when they were three weeks old, when we went to pick Marty up at eight and a half weeks old, he was almost DOUBLE the size of all the other pups in all three litters! He's a big boy now, and still growing....
