Welcome to Klasique Goldens Web Site. I hope you enjoy my family.

Klasique Goldens is located just outside of Arlington, WA in a rural community. Our property consists of 5 acres of “Golden playground” with a home and kennel built solely with the dogs at heart.

A little about us:

I grew up in Havre, MT with a Black Lab, Kai, who was not only my Dad’s hunting companion and best friend, but a family member.

Darryl grew up in the Seattle area. His family owned an array of hunting dogs including Pointers, Irish Setters and Brittanys.

In our early married years, Darryl & I always owned Brittanys that Darryl “attempted” to hunt behind. Then one day a Golden came in to my life. Darryl said “No, we don’t need another dog!” (It wasn’t a real No).

Since that time 15 years ago I am a confessed “dog snob” with a passion for Goldens.

I am grateful for my mentors, Pam & Al Sage & Tonya Struble. Without them there would be no Klasique Goldens.

Pam took a phone call from a total novice who knew nothing about Goldens but had a deep desire to love them. She took us under her wing and welcomed us into her life.  Here is where I found the thrill of exhibiting my dogs.

Tonya shares her extensive knowledge of dogs with me, smoothes out my rough edges and gives me the confidence needed for competing. Tonya has shown my dogs flawlessly, has helped me whelp out difficult litters in the middle of the night, and has sold me “my” Kirby son and “my” Felony daughter that I always dreamed of.  She continues to inspire me.

My dog show friends have laughed with me, cried with me, and cheered for my victories. This wonderful group of people shares a common love of dogs and is a wonderful support group.

My non-dog friends and family who may not understand my passion for my dogs, at times it may appear to be at the exclusion of humans, but love me anyway.

To My Puppy Buyers who have provided immeasurable love and homes to my babies and have brought me ease of mind knowing that they are all well loved and cared for.

And last on this list but always first to me, Darryl, my loving husband, who indulges my every doggy whim. Fences, more fences, kennels, more kennels, covered kennels, heated grooming room/kennels, puppy palace, motor home, larger motor home, etc. etc. etc.
