This is me...the crazy dog Mom

These pictures almost sum it up - I'm just missing a couple fur babies. But obviously you can tell I LOVE DOGS! I am one blessed woman. My husband, friends, and siblings may think that I am just a little bit crazy for wanting and having so many, but what's one more, right?

My husband and I have been on quite a journey together - in the beginning, we battled it out over keeping even one cat (Princess). I have always been an animal lover and had big dreams to have a farm with lots of animals. I just didnt know what else God would have planned for me.  I am blessed that although my husband isn't the biggest animal guy, that you would never even be able to tell. Especially when he plays tag with them, gets on the floor to lay with them, and pets them everytime they want to be pet. I like to believe his love for me and desire to keep me happy has changed his heart and he finally has an understanding as to why I love my animals so much.

 

We tend to have somewhere between 6 and 25 (puppies and full grown dogs) running in and out of our house. Poor guy! I am so grateful, he is so supportive of all my dreams  and desires. God has blessed me for sure with an awesome family, group of fur babies, and an amazing circle of friends that love dogs as much as me! Our dogs and their puppies are considered part of our family. We love them for so many reasons.

 

Do you see those cute faces?

Enough said.

But most of all, it is the love that they spread all around. Dogs in general just LOVE to LOVE, and Goldens in general just love to love EVERYONE!

When you're sad, who is there to always cuddle you?

Your Golden.

When you're scared, who is snuggled into your lap?

Your Golden.

When you want to go for a walk, who is there to be your walking buddy?

You know it! Your Golden. 

When you need a kiss on a bad day, your Golden will happily be there to offer enthusiastic kisses!

When you just need a big hug, your Golden is right there.

 

What I can tell you from experience is, my Goldens are amazing! They make the best of friends, and they even make awesome children or, you know, they can make awesome best friends for your children, same difference. Goldens listen well, and they talk back less than your human children...most of the time. They essentially devote their lives to loving you.

I fill my family and our house with so much dog love, puppy love, and a little fur, of course. I wouldn't have it any other way. We love to share our love with other families so they also get to enjoy part of the wonderful life we live. Goldens are pure LOVE. Our dogs are our family, and we wouldn't have it any other way! 

The Bostick Family

Previews-1.jpg

Many years ago, I was standing in line at our local Walmart. I looked over and saw the most beautiful dog I had ever seen. Not only was he gorgeous, but he was also incredibly well mannered. That particular Golden was a service dog, but that is when my passion for goldens was sparked. I had never seen a cream-colored golden, and when I saw that one, I knew I had to get one. As I have learned about the breed in general, I have been intrigued by their loyalty, even temper, intelligence, and their people focus. All my research resulted in my belief that they are the best family dog you could have.

 

Over the years we scanned the shelters, got on waiting lists, and waited patiently. But as soon as a golden was posted near us, they were always snatched up in a heart beat. Several years went by before we finally decided to not wait any longer. We had finally just had enough waiting and decided to find a breeder near us and purchased our first golden. We indeed found a wonderful pup. This was the beginning of a whole new lifestyle change for us. 

Once we had our first golden everything was clear, this was OUR breed, this was our new life, this was the start to an amazing adventure. We fell madly in love...We never thought we would be where we are today, have more than one golden, become hobby breeders, and be so in love with what we do. But we wanted to be a part of perfecting the breed we are madly in love with, we wanted to be the ones to improve their health and help them live a longer life. And so our research began. At the time we did contemplate breeding, but maybe just a couple times? We spent quite a bit of time researching what breeding all entails and being mentored by some amazing breeders which then led us to our final questions. What do we want to do? What do we want to improve? How can we be a part of fixing the health issues that so many people have with there goldens? What do we want to be known for? What type of breeders do we want to be? Backyard breeder AKA "breed for the experience not knowing anything and potentially ruining an amazing breed." or a Hobby breeder AKA "breed right to better the breed".

Obviously the choice was clear to us. We then decided together that this was something God put on our hearts to go ALL IN on. We then began health testing, finding the perfect stud, showing, and continued to grow our small program. We strive to be the breeders our children can be proud of. Ensuring we are doing our part at breeding quality dogs and being hands on quality breeders. This means giving each one of our families time out of our day for questions and advice, encouraging and educating on health, helping puppies get off to an amazing start with training and health. Being a part of our puppies and pup families lives for a lifetime not just for that short 8 weeks. 

 

Here at Bostick English Goldens, we want to perfect this outstanding breed to the best of our ability. So with each new pup we bring into our program we ensure they have the best pedigree, health clearances, wonderful generations back of excellent health testings, amazing calm temperaments, and excellent conformations. We choose the best because we want to produce the best.

Golden Retrievers are the best family dogs you could choose for your family. They are the whole package as a family dog; smart, gentle, loyal and so very loving. As we strive to give you the best customer service possible, we bring our puppies into our home, with our children, dogs, and cats to be well socialized and given the love and attention they deserve. We will provide them with the best care possible and give them the start they need to be successful in your home.

 

We have had stunning litters and can't wait for the next. Please contact us with any questions. Thank you!

It may be safe to say that fur is just a new accessory to every outfit I wear. But I wouldn't have it any other way. We love these babies so much!

What sets us apart from other breeders? 

This is an awesome question. You are searching for an awesome breeder that you can trust.

 

We strive everyday to give our dogs the best life. We provide proper vetting as well as quality food and vitamins. We use natural products for our shampoos, flea/tick prevention, and for all cleaning in our home to ensure safety of our pets etc. We give organic or all natural treats, and limit any toxins both in our home and outdoors.

 

Every decision we have made from the beginning comes back to a basic question: "How can we make this work for the dogs?" At the end of 2018, we bought a larger house with more land so we can expand what we are able to offer the dogs and puppies that live with us. We are small, in home, hobby breeders. All of our dogs live indoors with our family because we believe dogs ARE family, and that they deserve to be treated like it. By the time a puppy leaves our program, I can tell you what each of my puppies loves and identify each one by their face because I stare at them all day. Most of the time, I even know what they are about to do before they do it.

 

We are holistic breeders, and research EVERYTHING thoroughly. We are well educated on health and can give you plenty of information on how to keep your puppies healthy.

When we say that our dogs are family, it means we also teach our human children that our dogs are family. Just like they shouldn't hit or climb on their siblings, they also shouldn't hit or climb on our dogs. Our children are raised to have compassion for our pets. They learn not to climb on them or hurt them, but instead to pet them gently with love, hug them, and give them kisses within boundaries. This I expect from our families as well.

 

Boundaries are SO important! Even the best dog with the calmest, most gentle personality need space and boundaries. We teach our children what is okay to do and what is not, and to notice when a dog has had enough. We respect our dogs, we understand our dogs, and we love our dogs. Our puppies come well socialized with other dogs, chickens, guineas, ducks, with our 4 children of varying ages,  our 4 cats, goats and a calf.

 

The first 2-3 weeks, your puppies are right near me with Momma to be monitored closely. When they reach 4 weeks old, they transfer out of their whelping box and immediately begin potty training. This sets your puppy up for success from the start and makes it much easier to train them in their new home. We want our puppies to be successful in their house training and socializing. This isn't hard with a golden because they are clever, but it takes a partnership. Ultimately, you decide how easily and quickly your dog trains - by how determined and persistent you are.

 

Our puppies come with a 1 year genetic health guarantee, vet checked, bi-weekly professional photos to watch your puppy grow, and a very nice puppy pack. Our puppy packs are designed to give you all the little things you need to make your transition pleasant. Sometimes its the little things breeders do to show you that we CARE and that we want you to be successful from the beginning.

 

Our puppies come from excellent parents with amazing champion pedigrees, great hips and appropriate health testing to ensure we are doing our part to give you a healthy puppy. Most importantly, we are here for you for a LIFETIME. All our puppies come with lifetime return and support! We have an awesome facebook group that connects all our puppy families so they can stay in contact as well. 

Majority of our decisions are dog focused on how we can better our program, what we can do more for our families. We have a changed many things and have a positive experience with everything new we have incorporated. We are very pleased. 

 

We now offer a meet & greet party around 6-7 weeks for those on our choosing list. This way we can get together, enjoy a delicious meal, you can meet all the puppies, their parents, and all your puppies new families.

We offer 5 star service for a lifetime!

 

We give you everything you need to be successful from what we put in your puppy pack to all the training tips and advice we give. 

Breeding is our hobby yes, but also a lifestyle choice. We devote so much into making this the  best program we can. We give your puppies 24/7 care. We miss out on fun events, and miss out on vacations. We loose a lot of sleep. We spend a great deal of our day cleaning (and it never ends). We put a great deal of our puppy money right back into our program from:  importing our dogs, health testing, genetic testing, showing & earning titles, quality dog food, natural dog vitamins, natural treats, proper vetting, supplements, emergency vetting, customized dog room, dog mud room, and more. Breeding is a huge financial, emotional, and time consuming adventure. But it is so worth it to us. With this I say. We do it right to ensure we give you healthy, well mannered puppies that are breed standard. You won't be disappointed.

A little more about our Family! 

Our life is centered around Jesus Christ, living our life to the fullest through him, we are so grateful for everything God has given us. For our wonderful marriage of a little over 10 years, to our four amazing children, our mini farm, all our wonderful pets, and all the opportunities that God has given us. My husband is the best man I could have ever dreamt of, I know that God perfectly hand knitted him for me. A wonderful man of God. he has a passion for music and has been on the Worship team at our church for a few years now. He has a heart of Gold, and the best sense of humor that lights up a room. I am truly blessed to call him mine. As for our kiddos, they are just amazing little bundles of Joy! They share my huge love for animals and they LOVE Jesus! I haven't seen children that love to learn about Jesus, excited to say their nightly prayers, and LOVE going to church as much as them. It makes us so proud! 

We strive to live our life pleasing to him, and take every day, day by day. What he has in store for us next, we just don't know. But we are praying about it! We hope that what we do here will be some sort of ministry! We get to meet so many knew faces from all over, and we hope to have a positive impact on peoples lives. 

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
