Marithyme Golden Retrievers

About Us

Marithyme is a small hobby kennel. Since 1980, when I began my breeding program it has, and continues to be, my goal to produce puppies that truly reflect the ideal qualities which the golden retriever is known for. Every breeding is given the utmost consideration, trying to maintain a level of excellence, which will provide this and future generations’ quality in every aspect.
Each litter has it’s own unique qualities and, in turn, each puppy is also unique. It is the goal of Marithyme to assist clients and match a puppy to best fit each family and their lifestyle. Properly raising a puppy involves a sincere commitment and a substantial amount of time. Marithyme lines are slow to mature both mentally and physically. Time to "give daily" care and attention to a new puppy is vital to his becoming a wonderful family member and a good canine citizen.

This commitment must continue throughout the dog’s life. Feeding, training and veterinary care are but a few of the many issues which can impact the quality and quantity of a dog’s life. These and many others issues will be addressed, and agreed upon, prior to purchase. A life long commitment by both the client and ourselves is vital to this recipe.

Marithyme's sales contract stipulates the terms necessary to provide a lifetime of care. As founder and CEO of Golden tales Golden Retriever Rescue for nine years, I am convinced that had breeders taken the time to ensure proper puppy-to-family matching, many of these tragedies would have never occurred.

In order to continually improve my breeding program I urge my clients to maintain communication with me. This not only provides me information and the pleasure of knowing the puppy is doing well, it allows me to assist and provide guidance when necessary which is also (aside from the wonderful dogs) how Marithyme maintains its high standards.

VIRTUE IN GOLD

Nobility and pride, bird in mouth.
70 pounds of fur climbing up into my lap.
Eyes that speak from the soul.
A tail that perpetually speaks from the heart!
Patience and gentility towering above bottle totting small humans.
Eager and energetic at home in the surf or grassy field.
Any weather will do nicely.
Always a smile while entering my kitchen
soggy and muddy from the rain.
Anybody's best friend no matter if you're deserving or not.
Boredom brings out the artistic gardener in him,
A low hanging tree branch here, a shrub would look better there.
His greatest worry in life,
Did he please you today?
My family and I here at Marithyme,
Strive to maintain and protect
Those endearing virtues and characteristics,
Beauty, quality and temperament.
Wouldn't it be a better world if we
Could all be as loving and giving
As this dog we come to call The Golden Retriever!
