“ABOUT US"

“ No Landlubbers here, only the saltiest of Dogs!” ™

Marithyme is a small golden retriever 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.
In the winter of 2003 we acquired our Newfoundland foundation bitch from Canada. I have continued to apply the very same formula with my Newfie clearances and breedings to insure a positive direction and results.

Each litter has its 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 us 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.

As of this writing Jetty became an AKC CHIC awarded Newfoundland bitch, was successfully bred to Splash last summer (2007) and produced our first Newfie litter made up of 3 male/3 female; the Exploration litter. We kept my pick bitch puppy, our Puddles and hope she will walk in her dam's paw prints and make us equally happy! We are repeating that breeding shortly and are currently interviewing prospective Newfie owners. Please feel free to complete our pet puppy application and I will in turn contact you with further info and availability.
