Goldnote - Tay, Ontario

I have dreamed of having a Golden Retriever since I was little and knew I wanted this to be my first family dog one day - so I waited until the children were old enough to listen, respect boundaries and have patience ( 3 children, 7+ years )

I did my research and Goldnote seemed like the best choice in our area. Once you even talk on the phone to Bruce you know he loves his Canine Family. He did proper introductions with mom, dad and pups one by one to ensure you were choosing the best fit for your family - but he also knew if it was a good choice for HIM as a caring, loving breeder.

Ace is now 6 months old and thriving thanks to the care of his extended families too - from Goldnote to puppy school at TopDog’s Muttessori.

We really hope one day he will serve as a therapy dog ❤️🫶🏼 he has a big heart!

Just over a year ago, we brought home our Golden Retriever, Nala, from Goldnote—and we couldn’t be happier. Bruce was fantastic throughout the entire adoption process, providing us with all the information and support we needed. His guidance made experience easy and reassuring.

Nala has been nothing short of amazing. She’s everything we hoped for and more —smart, gentle, loving, and absolute joy to have in our lives. Everyone who meets her can’t stop complimenting her. We truly feel like we got the perfect dog.

We are so happy with Nala that we’re even thinking about getting another one!

Thank you again to Bruce and Goldnote for helping us find such a wonderful addition to our family.

We got our beautiful boy Shiloh from Goldnote at the end of May and he’s just over four months old now and he is an absolute joy. He’s very busy as he’s still a pup, but he’s sweet and he loves everybody. I think he’s going to be huge! I may even consider using him as a therapy dog once he’s old enough,. He has perfect personality for it. I know he will makes lot of people smile 😊 and he’s a great companion for us and big brother Finn. I am so glad that I got my Shiloh from Bruce. He is an absolute joy to have around and we love him with all our hearts. Thank you, Bruce. You picked us a good one.♥️🐾

Our beautiful Myla (Ginger x Pelham litter) is almost 6 months old now and she's grown into a happy, healthy, social butterfly of a pup that loves to meet new people and dogs. From the moment we contacted Bruce and got onto his waiting list, we've been nothing but impressed with him and the whole Goldnote Team. Bruce has extensive knowledge on Goldens, health, breeding, training and food. We met many of his dogs on several occasions and spent hours with them and the puppies and they are all exactly what you'd want in a Golden - happy, gregarious, friendly and biddable. They're all certified in health tests that are kept up to date. We received a wonderful package of training tips, videos, vaccine and food guides and you know he cares deeply about his dogs and what homes they are placed in. The whole team there is wonderfully supportive and kind and we look forward to keeping in touch as Myla grows up over the years!

Goldnote has been the most caring breeders ever! Their dedication to finding our amazing pup will never be forgotten, and we thank them for supporting us through this journey. Our 6 month old Cooper is below, he’s a gorgeous puppy and we thank Bruce for giving this ball of fur and joy into our family.

I can’t say enough about the team at Goldnote. Since day 1 they have been so helpful and responsive; they truly care about all their pups even after they‘ve been brought home. Bruce is so incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and selected a dog for us that would do well in a city environment, surrounded by noise, people and other dogs. We absolutely adore her and she has adapted beautifully to the busyness that surrounds her on a day-to-day basis. We are so thankful that we found Goldnote and appreciative of their thoughtful and careful approach to the process.

Bruce is amazing, he truly cares where his pups go and he is a genuinely kind human being. Bruce chose our puppy for us based on our lifestyle and family planning. We couldn't have asked for a better pup to match our family. Our pup is beautiful, healthy, and the perfect addition to our family.

Our 3 1/2 year old retriever loves his country retreats where he gets to play with his Mum and cousins. Bruce and his team do a fantastic job breeding and rearing wonderful retrievers and is always available for advice. His new boarding facilities are first rate. We would not leave our special boy with anyone else. Thanks again.
