Testimonials

“We went on a search for a golden retriever puppy, and we came across Bev with Mountain Joy Goldens. We instantly knew she was the breeder for us. She truly enjoys working and raising the puppies, and she spends so much time with them. She does so much research to help set the puppies up for success. Our puppy, Bogey, received the best foundation all thanks to Bev. She did so much training and socialization with the puppies, and we could not be more grateful for that! We also loved how many updates we got while we waited for our puppy to be ready. We highly recommend Mountain Joy Goldens for anyone looking for their next best friend!“

“Bev Jackson, owner of Mountain Joy Goldens, is one of the most dedicated, honest, and caring breeders I know! She was available for questions, advice, and answered each phone call and email promptly. Due to her knowledge and excellent care of her dogs and puppies, there was no doubt in my mind I wanted a puppy from her. After meeting the parents (dam and sire), I knew I made the right choice. Bev goes beyond with her litters by making sure they are handled with love, exposing them to a variety of experiences such as baths, noises, car rides, and of course their health checks. She sent pictures from the day they were born to the day I arrived to take my new family member home. I would definitely recommend purchase a puppy from Bev!”

“Bev Jackson of Mountain Joy Goldens is amazing. She is in it for you and your new family member. Bev goes above and beyond in raising exceptional Golden Retrievers. From the beginning we were informed and updated on all things breeding/whelping/puppies. It takes a special person to raise puppies. Bev is that person. She is kind, loving, informative, and above all else, cares for the well-being of her litter before and after they go home. Our Gertie is smart, sweet, beautiful, quickly adjusted and has become an amazing member of our family. We feel incredibly lucky Bev gave us the opportunity to bring her home.”

Stephanie & Skip Pribyl, Forever Family of Gertie

“I am so glad I found Mountain Joy Goldens. The pups are beautiful, happy, smart, fearless, and so funny! Samual Guntherson (Sam) makes us laugh every day. He tells us exactly what he wants and how he feels with a very detailed vocabulary of sounds. He is so smart! At 12 weeks he has mastered sit, stay, come, down, leave it, rest, and no. All “treat dependent” commands, of course. Bev and Blane put so much heart into their pups and use Puppy Culture to ensure a good start for these special fur-babies. Bev kept me informed throughout Bonnet’s pregnancy and the “updates” during the first eight weeks kept me engaged and so anxious to meet our new family member. I high recommend Mountain Joy. I loved the entire experience and consider Bev and Blane our friends.”

“Bev does such a wonderful job with her dogs. Throughout the whole process she was extremely helpful and kept us updated with pictures of Rinn (our “pupdates” were usually the highlight of our day!” The abundance of time, effort, and care she puts into her puppies is so evident – sweet Rinn already knew his name, how to politely ask for things by sitting instead of jumping, and tells us when he needs to go outside. He is already such a confident dog and had no problem transitioning to his new home. I know Bev puts a lot of time and effort into researching to make sure she’s only breeding healthy puppies, and ensuring they get their best chance of growing into lovely, healthy pets, and it really pays off. Even now that Rinn is home, she’s still available to help us with any questions we have and have really enjoyed working with her!”

“We are so excited to bring Finn (aka Bud) home and to be part of our family! It has been a joy working with Bev and Mountain Joy Goldens. We’ve had great communication and at least weekly pictures and updates. We were fortunate to live relatively nearby and were able to visit and play with the puppies and meet the puppies’ parents. Thank you, Bev!”

Christine W., Forever Family of Finn

“We were blessed to be referred to Bev from a reputable breeder. From the beginning of the process, Bev (was) over accommodating. She kept us updated on the puppies’ health as well as sent pictures. When picking up our puppy, we received a detailed binder with all of the puppy’s information, pictures, and vet checks. Even our vet was impressed. Our puppy has been a blessing to our family. He is smart, sweet, and came well-socialized. I would recommend Bev to anyone who is looking to bring a Golden into their home. We are so thankful for her.”

Lorri Hallenbeck, Forever Family of Remy

“From the first moment we contacted Bev, we knew she was the breeder for us. It didn’t take us long to figure out that her animals live in a loving, caring, and healthy home with great respect for the Golden Retriever breed. She kept us well informed and sent us pictures of the puppies every week. When we picked up our puppy, we also received a nice folder with pictures and all the information that we as owners needed as well as well as our vet. We absolutely love our little boy and highly recommend Befv to anyone that is looking to bring a Golden into their lives!”

Amy and Arron Morrison, Forever Family of Gus

“We can’t find enough words of praise for Bev’s breeding program and Mountain Joy Goldens. From the planning of the litter to the day these pups go home, she makes the ultimate effort to ensure healthy, well-adjusted puppies. Bev is warm and friendly and always there to answer any questions. The peace of mind Bev has given us with our puppy is so appreciated!”

Virginia Holzwarth, Forever Family of Willow Joy

“Bev has been incredibly professional and very easy to work with. She cares immensely about her work and it really shows. Our puppy is delightful and beautiful and sweet and healthy – all of that a credit to Bev and her hard work. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about getting a Golden Retriever puppy. Thanks, Bev, and Bonnet and Gunther – we adore the newest member of our family!

“Bill and I would like to share our wonderful experience with Ben of Mountain Joy Goldens: in a word, “Perfect.” As a Special Education teacher, I know how important it is for a child to start life out with the best care. The same holds true for a new puppy. The care that both Bev and (husband) Blane gave to Joy’s litter was phenomenal. The two puppies were given so much loving attention and stimulus that there is no doubt that their growth to adult dogs will be successful. Bev kept us up on Brie’s progress through pictures…on a weekly basis. We could watch her grow and progress. Bev is a very knowledgeable, professional breeder. She’s an expert about puppy behavior…and offers some excellent advice and info along to new homes. We’re so happy that we learned about Mountain Jo Goldens and are excited to have Brie as part of our family.”

Dr. Patricia Fisher, Forever Family of Brie

“Adopting our new family member, Addie, has been a wonderful experience. Bev has made the experience easy and fun as she kept us involved every step of the way…from ultrasound pictures to weekly development updates and photos. Her commitment to raising healthy, happy puppies is so evident in every way. We are absolutely in love and I think the feeling is mutual. I have introduced Addie to several friends who all seem to note “what a good temperament” she has and she seems so healthy and happy. I believe this is due to Bev’s great breeding efforts and her commitment to her raising in the first eight weeks of her life. I can’t thank Bev enough.”

Carol Carpenter, Forever Family of Addie

“We are enjoying our new puppy, Finn! He is smart and has a sweet personality. We are looking forward to the many years he will be part of our family. We enjoyed working with Bev so much. She is a great communicator, giving us regular updates and pictures of the puppies. We were so impressed with her dedication and expertise as a responsible breeder.”

Megan Sheets, Forever Family of Finn

“Bev of Mountain Joy Goldens was the only breeder I had spoken with whom I felt I trusted right from the time I got on the waitlist. She is responsible, ethical, caring, informed, and dedicated. My puppy is confident, happy, extremely energetic and playful, smart, and strangers always stop us to remark on what a beautiful pup he is. So much love.
