Deb, We just wanted to share a few pictures of Bailey with you. Bailey is a wonderful dog. She has the best temperament and is just great with the kids. She loves playing with the kids, whether it's running in the yard, playing on the slide or just laying around. we could ahve given her away many times as everyone thinks she is one of the nicest Goldens they have seen. We met many breeders prior to getting Bailey from you and we are very happy with our choice! Along with a quality of dog, you provided us with the puppy session which was very helpful in training and caring for our new addition. Thanks! The Domkes, Oshkosh, WI

Dear Deb, We got Fiona in June of 2009 and wanted to update you on her. Everyone who meets Fiona is amazed at how obedient, calm and loving she is. We are members of As Good As Gold Northern Illinois Golden Retriever Rescue and at an informational meet and greet, at least 10 people wanted to take her home! She is really a crowd pleaser and will go up to anyone wagging her tail and a big Golden smile on her face! For little kids, puppies, or small dogs she will get on her stomach so they can say hi to her. She loves to swim! She's the best dog ever! Mary Joplin, River Forest, IL

Dear Deb, We are so Happy with our little girl. we've named her Saydee. She's just the wonderful mellow girl you said she would was. Everyone thinks she is just the nicest looking Golden. She is just perfect and sweet. loves to play with the cat too. They're about the same size and they wrestle around like she would with a littermate. Sounds like some nice charities that you donated your litter tithe too also! B. Anderson New Berlin WI

Hi Deb, We love this puppy! Thank you immensely for picking out such a wonderful pup for us. He is very smart and is the star of the Superpuppy class we're going to! The trainer commented that she has seen a lot of dogs in her years of training and Savvy is one of the special ones! M. Hallett Chicago, IL

Hi Deb- Words can't express how happy we are to have Daisy in our family! We love her more every day! Your puppy talk was very interesting and helpful. You are a special person to take the time to help new parents figure out how to handle their new babies. Our vet was very impressed with the paperwork and also what a wonderful puppy we got from your kennel! Peter and I think you and your kennel are wonderful and we thank God for the day we found your web site. Your e-mails made the wait easier and you take such pride in your dogs and the puppies! Thank you so much for everything! K Zimmerman Menominee Falls WI

Hi Deb, I thought I would let you know how Fenway is doing after being with us over two months now. He is doing just great and I cannot tell you how many people have stopped me to tell me how great of a looking dog he is. All in all he is great and I wanted to thank you for being such a responsible breeder. Several friends and work associates got puppies around the same time and while all puppies are cute, they don't all come from responsible breeders. It truly makes a difference!

Hi Deb, We sure are SO ENJOYING our (not so little anymore) Merlot!! Every single person who sees her says how much of a beautiful puppy she is! We get the most compliments from our vet's office- they know a well bred dog when they see one and they can't say enough about her!!!... Joann McClone, Omro, WI

Hi Deb, Benson is such a great puppy! You seriously chose the right puppy for my husband and I. I would totally recommend you to anyone who is looking for a golden puppy. You are VERY knowledgeable. I loved your puppy session because it helped my husband and I out a lot!! Thanks again! If in the future we decide to get another golden retriever, we'll definitely come back to you!

Hi Deb, We just got back from Scout's vet check. She is terrific.... Dr. Pat W thinks Scout is the finest Golden pup he has ever seen! All he did was sing your praise for this fabulous pup! In fact, he did some research on your dogs and was so impressed he is sending one of his clients to you in search of a pup from one of your next litters. This is high praise indeed!!!...Just thought you needed to hear how much everyone admires the work you put in! Blessings, Pat & Russ Lemerande, GreenBay WI

We would highly recommend Harvestime Kennel as a reputable breeder who cares about people getting a dog that fits well with their family! Your dogs are beautiful, smart, well-mannered, easy to train and so lovable. When you picked out a puppy for our family, you knew exactly which little guy would blend well with ALL of the boys here! I would also recommend people to purchase a dog from you because of the WHOLE experience. We were able to watch the puppies grow from birth to 7 weeks. It was such a fun experience for our whole family. Additionally, when we came out for a "puppy visit", your knowledge about raising a puppy was so valuable for my boys. hey listened intently to your knowledge, and they took your advice very seriously. The whole experience, from birth to the day we brought Murphy home was a delight. We wouldn't have changed a thing. Harvestime Kennel is a place who raises healthy, happy golden retrievers- we are so lucky to have found you! I would recommend you to anyone looking for a golden! Jen Lubke- Rogers, MN

I would recommend Harvestime Kennel because of the great care the puppies receive while in Deb's care and for her willingness to share her experience and knowledge with the buyers. We were sent information and photos throughout the entire process. Deb always was very open about letting us come to visit while our puppy was getting ready to go home. On the day we went to pick up our pup, Deb had her bathed and well groomed. Emma is a happy, beautiful, intelligent pup, and a great addition to our family! The care and love she received at her first home was evident! We would definitely purchase our next puppy from Harvestime! Colleen Kalscheuer Pewaukee, WI

There is nothing but good things to say about Deb and Harvestime Kennels! We had never had a house dog and were clueless as to where to look, how to train it, groom it and where to kennel it. Deb has always been a phone call away to answer our questions.Not only did she pick out the perfect dog for our situation, she has been there the entire year for us! Rex is now 1 and we still cherish the relationship we have with our breeder, Deb. She is a wonderful resource. Brenda Mears, Appleton WI

Our Auri is the best dog that either of us has ever had! She's so calm and easygoing but always ready to play. She's healthy, gentle, obedient, learns quickly and is so beautiful. We get many compliments about her from neighbors, strangers walking by, family & friends and from our vet/vet technicians (who always comment on her great pigment). She's truly a pleasure to have as part of our family. Scott & Julie Wilson, Appleton WI

All Golden puppies are cute, but if you are looking for a pup that is bred by a very special breeder who really knows about health, structure, temperament,and development of EACH pup and is willing to stand by her promises, Harvestime is the place for you. We have a beautiful 6 month old pup, named Scout. Our vet is very impressed by her physical structure and health. Scout is fun and smart as a whip, training in large classes at 6 months and keeping up with & in fact surpassing much older dogs; and Deb has been there each step of the way with us before we got Scout and advise us whenever we had a need. When you get a Harvestime pup, you have gotten the BEST in a breeder AND a puppy...but be prepared, they are like potato chips, you'll want more than one! Too much of an "ad"? well every word is true! Pat & Russ L

Harley is the best dog we ever had- and in this family that is saying A LOT! He has been an absolute dream to train and is so focused on making his people happy! He has become an irreplaceable part of our family...a running partner, a swimming buddy, a soccer/lacrosse sideline cheerleader, a mellow cooking partner and a nighttime foot warmer when watching TV! In my preference form I had asked for a dog who would play with the kids, fetch a ball when you asked, sit nicely at a soccer game and lay quietly at my feet... you have given us that and more! I can't even count the number of people who have stopped us when we are out and ask where we found such an amazing dog- no one can believe that he is only a year old! Everyone who meets Harley loves him! We have given your number and website to too many people to count. A simple thank you doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU! Leslie Phillips Oconomowoc, WI
