How it Started!
My name is Hannah Wikman, and I was raised on a farm in Burnet, TX. My family owned and raised many dogs, including several Golden Retrievers. I have always loved Goldens; they are the sweetest family dogs ever!
My family got our first Golden, Molly, when I was about 6 years old. We loved her and decided it would be fun to have a litter of pups on our farm. Well, let me just say there is no such thing as one litter or one dog. Of course, we kept a pup from her litter, and we named her Calypso. Calypso was a very sweet and faithful dog to our family. I asked my mom when I was about 14 if I could sell the 4-wheeler I had saved up for several years to buy, and put that money towards breeding Calypso. I wanted to keep a pup from her litter and have a dog of my own, even though our family already had three dogs at the time. She said YES! I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was. Not only was I going to be permitted to keep a puppy, but I was also going to have the joy of raising a whole litter of Golden Retriever Puppies all by myself. Well, maybe I did get a little help. So that's how my dog breeding journey began. I am married to the love of my life, Josh, and we live with our two children and our growing Golden family in Bertram, TX. We love raising our beautiful puppies and enjoy seeing them placed in loving homes. |
