I waited two years after our family puppy passed away from epilepsy before I even considered getting another dog. My husband and I were newly wed and we were both ready to start considering looking for a new puppy, but didn’t know much about the process or where to start looking.
I just happen to come across Grace Goldador and started looking into what it would take to adopt a puppy. From the moment I emailed Anya, I found her to be not only responsive, but incredibly kind. I had never gone through the process of adopting through a breeder so at one point I even asked specific security questions to make sure it wasn’t a scam.
Anya was always so eager to help- she would not only provide answers but she’d give examples whenever possible. It was such a relief to find a responsible breeder who was also knowledgeable and happy to guide us. She’d check in and provide photos and videos before and after the puppies were born.
Anya is so detail-oriented and concise. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and she absolutely adores her dogs and the puppies they have. It’s even more evident when you bring the puppies home- they are happy, so well-trained, and confident. Paddington is so loving and incredibly intelligent. He’s just twelve weeks old now and he knows all his basic commands. He waits for his food, he’s patient, he’s so gentle with other smaller dogs and he really enjoys running and jumping around big dogs. He loves being around people and he is the centre of our world. We sincerely grateful to Anya and her family for the gift they have given us!
I have already recommended her to anyone looking to adopt and always will.

After losing our family dog, we didn’t except to get another pet any time soon. Fast forward to the fall of 2023, we welcomed Archie (Tilly’s litter) our golden boy into the family. He quickly became the light of our lives. A quick learner, happy boy who wants to please everyone around him. A few weeks had passed and Archie was settling into routine, we got blessed with an unexpected new addition. 10 weeks apart in age, we welcomed our sweet and sassy little Cali girl (blue’s litter). Cali was the missing piece to our perfect little family. Having two puppies 10 weeks apart was not on our “2024 bingo card”, but we can confidently say that the two together have completed our family. These dogs live to make us laugh, they are full of adventure, curiosity, silliness and have very unique personalities. Both dogs exhibit enormous amounts of love, loyalty and companionship. We cannot get over how easy they were to train, and how adaptive they are. We cannot thank Anya enough for all the work, love, and time she took caring for these puppies from birth until they came to us. Anya still plays a vital role with any questions we have along the way. We could not imagine our life without our sweet puppies. We have recommended Anya to all of our friends and family, and we know that in the future we will be back for these amazing dogs.

(Second time family purchased a pup. They now have Freddie and Blue <3 )
We got our best friend Freddie from Anya’s group of puppies her dog Blueberry had in August 2021. Anya was amazing with constant updates, videos, pictures, and information on shots. They arranged a pre-visit for us and gave us alone time with the puppies. They have young kids, a cat, and a large property so the dogs are well socialized. Freddie has a wonderful temperament and is such a beautiful dog. Can’t say enough good things about the purchase of our first dog!

The sweetest breeder around.! Anya is so kind and caring towards her pups. We fell in love with her as much as our pup. She regularly sent videos and pictures of our puppies growing until we could pick them up. We’ve also kept in touch post pick up which has been so nice to see our pup’s brothers and sisters being loved by their families. It’s been a wonderful experience and if we had a larger home we would be getting another puppy from Anya with her next litter from Blueberry. Btw, I think we have the best looking puppies around!!

We are grateful to have found Anya and her family when we were searching for a Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy. We could not imagine the connection we would have throughout the process through videos, stories and endless patience with our questions. We chose Ruby who is a warm, funny, beautiful dog who brings us much love and joy. Thank you Anya!

We would highly recommend Grace Goldadors for puppies! Anya was such a wonderful breeder to deal with. She was very helpful and answered all of our questions. She gave great suggestions and advice for new puppy owners. She checked in multiple times after we picked up our little guy to see how things were going. Anya was very kind and thoughtful.
The pups were all so adorable and happy. They were well socialized with cats and children which was really important for us.
After we chose our boy she sent us photo and video updates as he grew before we were able to pick him up. Thanks for giving us the sweetest little member of the family.

I’m so happy to have found Anya and her Goldador puppies. I was very nervous and concerned about getting my first dog and spent a lot of time chatting with Anya and asking her tons of questions. She guided me through the preparations and expectations when getting a puppy. I have my puppy for about 2 weeks now and she still checks in to make sure we’re doing well. She is passionate, very patient and extremely helpful. It’s very comforting to know support and suggestions are just a message away for an amateur dog owner like myself. Thank you Anya!

After losing two pups in less than 3 years, my main concern this time around when selecting a pup, was the health of the dogs, which is why I chose to go with Anya’s Goldadors! I appreciated her approach to breeding, discussing the background of the parents and that the dogs came with 30 days of Trupanion, etc. I also loved that she kept in touch with you along the way to keep you updated on how the pups were growing/doing via pictures and messages! Overall it was a great experience!
An update on little miss Dixie after officially having her for one week! She is the happiest, funniest, cuddliest, most confident little pup! She is such a little firecracker and I couldn’t have asked for a better pup, I already love her so much! She adapts so quickly to everything, loves her toys and is wonderful in the car🥰
Terry and Sylvie S.
We are so happy to receive our puppy from Anya! Her constant updates and advice made this experience all the more enjoyable! She was quick with responses to our many questions and the picture/video updates were so appreciated we felt like we knew our puppy even before picking her up. We would highly recommend Grace Goldador for a puppy. Even after we brought our girl home Anya was following up to make sure that we were adjusting well to our new puppy, a very engaged breeder for sure!

I purchased my pup from Grace Goldadors, and I couldn’t be happier. Anya is very honest and sends you lots of updates on the pup while they’re growing. I’m so thankful they could keep Raven longer than expected. Raven is everything I ever dreamed of and more. She has settled in very nicely and is a dream to work with as she is very smart. If I were to get another pup I would definitely be in touch with her again.

Hucks been doing great! He’s been at the vet every few weeks getting his shots, he’s had no health issues, he’s a very healthy pup and has a very lovely personality the vet is so pleased with his sweet personality and obedience at such a young age and we are too! Only downside…his love for toilet paper🤦♀️😂 but he’s a great listener and is going to be starting puppy classes in a few weeks! He’s completely imprinted on my daughter and her son, he’s so gentle with her son and her son loves his puppy they’re always playing together, switching toys and cuddling. He goes on daily walks with our other dog which he loves! Over all thank you so much for this sweet, loving pup!

Anya and her family have blessed me with my not so little Milo. Milo is currently training to be my medical alert service dog, and is the most intelligent dog I’ve come across; with 15+ commands learned so far at 4 months old. I highly recommend these people if you are looking for a compassionate breeder who whole heartedly loves all of the animals in their care.

From the moment I found Anya’s ad, I knew Grace Goldador was the breeder we wanted to go with. Every step I felt more confident with my decision. When Tilly’s litter went home, we weren’t ready for our new arrival, so we put a deposit on Blue’s next litter. Anya was amazing with sending pictures and videos of Blue and Tilly so that we felt like we really got to know them. When Blue’s puppies were born, we got tons of updates, so we could watch them grow. Anya and Adam were awesome when we spent two hours trying to choose who would be our new fur baby…they were all so sweet! We’ve had Kaylee for two weeks, and she’s the sweetest little pup and learns so quickly! She’s been great with our 13-year-old chesador, and they snuggle together every night.❤ Thank you for being so awesome and creating our beautiful girlie!

The process of purchasing my puppy from Anya was more seamless than I ever could have imagined! I am grateful to have had a breeder that was so engaged pre and post puppy-pickup. I can’t thank Anya enough for providing me with my best friend, Kodak. Kodak is the sweetest and most snuggly boy in the world. He is so gentle, attentive, and curious due to Anya’s efforts to introduce the puppies to new environments at a young age. I can’t wait to watch my boy grow up and experience this big, beautiful world. Thank you to Grace Goldadors for everything! <3

Getting a puppy from Grace Goldadors was such a great decision.
Pepper has been the most wonderful addition to our family. She is so sweet tempered, calm and cuddly and very clever. She is also absolutely gorgeous!
Anya was so great to deal with: responsive, compassionate, engaging and clearly so passionate about her work as a small breeder.
I would definitely recommend Grace Goldadors to anyone looking for a great family dog!

In our search for the perfect puppy, we didn’t know what to expect as this would be our first puppy. We found Anya’s ad and were surprised and intrigued with the level of detail. We reached out to Anya and she responded right away and answered and questions we had. As we were waiting for our pup to be born, Anya constantly provided updates and any developments in Blue’s pregnancy, and of course, answered all and any questions we had. When the pups were born, we received many pictures and videos of them, which meant a lot to us. We were able to pick out our puppy and meet with Blue and Tilly at around 6 weeks. It was a very relaxing experience and we got to take as much time as we needed to pick out the right pup for us. Although this was such a hard decision, Anya and her family stayed with us and helped us bond to the pups and eventually pick out our puppy, Boone! It was so difficult to leave Boone and pick him up at 8 weeks, but Anya made the time fly by with her continued videos and pictures of the pups. When we were able to pick up Boone, Anya had him ready for us with all of his vet documents, a blanket with his mother’s scent and some food. Anya made this process so easy! We loved having this journey with Anya and her family. They were fantastic and care so much about the puppies they raise and their clients. We really enjoyed seeing the natural environment that the puppies were exposed to. We really could not imagine going through this process with another breeder as dedicated, authentic, and committed. The love Anya’s family has given the pups during their first few weeks put us to ease. Thank you, Anya, and family for this wonderful addition to our family!

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible experience we had working with you as the breeder for our beloved Goldador. From the very beginning, you demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and passion for your craft.
Your commitment to the well-being of the puppies was evident in every step of the process. The care and attention to detail you provided during the early stages of our Goldador's life truly set a strong foundation for their health and happiness. Your knowledge and expertise were invaluable as you guided us through the selection process, ensuring we found the perfect match for our family.
What truly stood out was the transparent and open communication we had with you throughout the entire journey. You were always available to answer our questions, offer guidance, and provide updates on our puppy's progress. Your genuine love for the animals shone through, and it made us feel confident and secure in our decision to bring one of your Goldadors into our home.
Anya, you are not just a breeder; you are a caretaker, a mentor, and a friend to both the dogs and the families fortunate enough to welcome them into their lives. Our Goldador has brought immeasurable joy and love into our home, and we have you to thank for that.
I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking a reputable and caring breeder. Your dedication to the well-being of these beautiful animals is truly commendable, and we are forever grateful for the positive impact you've had on our lives.
With sincere thanks and warm regards,
Caroline, Maeve and Everly and our beloved Cooper

Anya was an incredible breeder to work with — she truly cares for the well-being of her litters and is an excellent communicator. We have been communicating with Anya for almost a year in anticipation for our pup and she was nothing but patient, flexible, and extremely transparent throughout the process. She regularly provided us with updates and answered our numerous questions — it’s very comforting to know we have her lifetime support! We took home one of Tilly’s female pups and she has been the most affectionate addition to our family. It’s still early to say for sure (the dreaded teenage months have yet to come) but she seems quite calm and focused for a young puppy — training her has been easier and so much more rewarding
than we thought. We would highly recommend getting your puppy from Anya and Grace Goldadors :)

We are overjoyed with our experience with Grace's Goldador! Bringing Rocky into our lives has been an absolute delight. The breeder was exceptional, ensuring we were always informed, addressing every question with patience, and providing an extensive information pack. Rocky is truly the sweetest soul, a testament to the care and dedication of Grace's Goldador. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a furry companion!

Finding a companion for my four-year-old Golden Retriever proved to be quite a challenge. I had my heart set on a Goldador, but finding a breeder who genuinely cared for their dogs was not easy—until I discovered Grace Goldadors. Placing a deposit over a year and a half in advance to secure our puppy from Anya reflected my unwavering certainty! Anya impressed us with her exceptional communication skills, keeping us informed from Tilly going into heat to the day we brought Cider home. Despite the 10-hour round trip, every mile was worth it. Cider has surpassed all expectations, an amazing temperament and remarkable intelligence, making training a breeze. Not to mention, he's an absolute cuddle enthusiast! He has undeniably enriched our family, and I am so grateful to Anya for nurturing such a perfect pup. I would highly recommend Grace Goldadors to anyone!
Gabrielle B.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the experience I had with Grace Goldadors. From the moment I decided on bringing one of their puppies into my life, Anya's guidance and support were invaluable. Almost a year after getting in touch with Grace Goldadors for the first time, we picked Pippin up at 8 weeks old. I was glad to have updates along the way and getting to hand pick my puppy at 6 weeks was such a fun experience.
Anya's communication throughout the process was exceptional. She was always available to address any concerns or questions I had, and her knowledge and expertise were evident every step of the way. Additionally, it's worth noting how healthy and well-adjusted Pippin is – a testament to the care and dedication put into breeding at Grace Goldadors. Receiving photos and videos of the puppies as they grew was such a treat.
Even as Pippin barrels into his mischievous puppy phase, I know that I made the right choice by choosing Grace Goldadors. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a furry friend to their family. They provide not only wonderful puppies but also unparalleled support and guidance that truly sets them apart. Thank you for bringing Pippin into my life and making the journey so incredibly rewarding!

Adopting our first puppy ever has been such a beautiful journey with Anya. She has lovingly shared every special moment with us throughout Mom‘s pregnancy, the birth of puppies, as well as regular updates and videos during the first 8 weeks. Grace Goldadors raises their dogs in a caring family environment. We are so happy with our Raven, such a happy, sweet, smart and funny girl and we are in love! I would absolutely recommend to families looking for an incredible dog with great personality and temperament.

When we started our journey of bringing a new family member puppy into our home, I was adamant that I did not want to buy one, but rather, adopt. My husband, who has never had a dog was not keen on this as he really wanted to know where our dog came from. I started searching for reputable breeders and stumbled upon Grace Goldador’s.
To say that Anya and her family are wonderful is an understatement. They truly believe that their family dogs are so special and others should get the opportunity to share in their wonderful spirits. Knowing that the puppies born are raised in their home, surrounded by children, love, laughter and care is the best feeling.
Anya was extremely accommodating, sending regular updates and photos through the whole process and answered any and all questions we had. She goes above and beyond, regularly checking in with us months after we have taken our puppy home. She is a lovely person and her beautiful dogs Blue and Tilly make beautiful, happy puppies.
