What Our Golden Retriever Families Say

We got our first Golden from Gernert's Goldens in 2019 and absolutely fell in love with him. The sweetest most affectionate Golden. We love how much care, affection, and work they put into the Goldens. We just got another Golden who is now 7 months old from Donna. We highly recommend their Goldens. You won't be disappointed and will love how affectionate they are.

We have an 11 year old female from Gernerts Goldens. She is the best dog we have ever had and we have had many rescues and pets. Sadly she is beginning to age. I hope she lives forever and I am dreading the day when she leaves us. I hope our next Golden will be just as sweet. Everyone loves Lucy.

We got Cora at 8 weeks old from Gernerts Goldens. We haven't once regretted our decision. Donna cares so much for each one of her Goldens; she made sure to regularly update the Facebook page so each eager pet-parent was in the loop and had updated pictures. She was so nice to work with. When you walk into her home, you know that these dogs are her life and passion.
