These are testimonials from when I was still at home and took care of my parents breeding program (Deer Creek Goldens in Wellman, Iowa) for about 8 years before I was married a year ago. :)

We are so happy with our puppy from Stella's litter born in Dec. 2020. He is almost five months old, and the socialization that was done before we brought him home at 8 weeks old has made all the difference. He is a beautiful, laid-back Golden with a very nice temperament. Emily communicated with us through the whole process, and was so good at walking us through it. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend everything. They are so communicative, and give you LOADS of great info. When we brought our Cheddar home - he was already pretty much potty trained, and sitting for treats. He is such a blessing to us and brings so much love and laughter to our home. We thank Emily for raising such great puppies and doing the puppy protocol before they go to their forever homes. My husband and I are forever grateful to you.

There aren't enough positive words to describe my experience with this family. We have two gorgeous, smart, kind & loving females out of Bode. Bailey, now 2yrs old (Layma) her Mom is now retired & her social media famous half sister, Willow. My family was so smitten with Bailey we wanted a sibling . Willow (Gera now retired) joined our family in Jan. I have had goldens 30yrs & am so impressed with this breeder! The communication is FANTASTIC, from ques to abundance of knowledge, & amazing health clearances. Emily is incredible & it's evident how much they truly care & love their dogs!

I still talk to Emily atleast 3-4xs a week through fb about the girls, funny stories & pics.

Breeders like this family are far & few between!

Excellent communication with these folks! It was very evident after a few days with my little guy that he was well socialized from early on! He was loved right from the start, before he was ready for his forever home . Informative, accomodating quality breeder! Highly recomended!!

Miss Callie (aka Miss burgundy) came home to her forever home this last weekend. She is such a sweet girl and loves her new big sister

Deer Creek breeders are fully committed to each of the puppies success, with socialization, crate introduction, potty training and so much more!! Emily is so awesome to work with, she returned my calls/messages very quickly and had a lot of great resources and help for us!!

Callie adjusted to her new home very quickly and she took to her crate right away, she is doing great with potty training, and sleeping in her crate for most the night.

Thank you Emily and to your family for loving your dogs/puppies the way you do, we feel very blessed to have one of Stella's pups.
