It all started with the thoughts of a “Christmas surprise”. Kathy had always loved the look and personality of the “Golden Retriever” and one September evening we searched the internet for Golden Retrievers breeders in New Hampshire. It was through our luck and great fortune that we found “Starquest Golden Retrievers”. We “fell in love” with both the Seifert’s philosophy and of course the “Golden’s”. Kathy was excited that there was a litter out of Darcy and Brody, due to be born in November. We left the website that evening with the wish and hope that “someday we will get a Golden”.
Now the “surprise” part of the story begins. John contacted Marcia and wanted to surprise Kathy with a puppy for Christmas. Marcia felt it best to let Kathy be a part of the “puppy experience” by watching the puppies grow and develop their personalities. Although it wasn’t a “Christmas surprise”, Kathy was surprised with the news that we were getting a puppy and it was the beginning of an exciting journey with many new surprises.
Our Bailey came home the week after New Year 2004 and four months later Miles came to us as he needed to be in a home environment. In December of 2005 Sadie was to temporarily join our family to see if we could train her and then give her back to Marcia and Steve. (This was to see if we had the ability to train dogs and then let them go to someone else). Well to make a long story short, two weeks later we knew that we couldn’t give her back. She was ours and we love her dearly. With three “Golden’s” in the house, our lives were quite busy and full. Bailey was planning to be bred in January and we had “thought” about getting one of her puppies.
Kathy finally did get her surprise however. John brought Bailey to Marcia in preparation for the birth of the puppies. That evening John came home with Colby, the last of the Bond babies.

We cannot imagine our lives without our “Golden’s”. They each have their own unique personality and they bring us so much joy everyday. We want to extend out sincere thanks to Marcia and Steve Seifert for all of their help, support, kindness, and for giving us Bailey, Miles, Sadie, and Colby.
We truly believe and live by their quote, “dogs are people too”!!
