C&D Heritage Golden Retrievers- Meet our Mamas
Mama Callie Lou (Retired)
Affectionately also known as Grandma Callie, was my original AKC registered Golden Retriever who was gifted to me on Christmas morning by my brother, Kyle. Callie was who started it all for me as a breeder. Callie had a total of 3 litters and was an outstanding mother and continued on to be a very loving Grandma. Callie passed away at the ripe age 13.5 years old. We will always miss her, but we do love seeing her nurturing instinct in our current momma's.
Callie's Golden Dandelion (Retired)
Callie's Golden Dandelion is an AKC registered Golden Retriever. She is Callie's daughter and Daffodil's Mother. Dandy is a sweetheart who we love very much! Unfortunately, being a mom was not her calling. Being a spoiled, very loved cuddle bug for our friends who were in need of mending hearts, was her calling! Our sweet, shy, Dandy has become a very loved member in the Venters family and we couldn't be happier for the lot of them, including this sweet pea!
Dandy's Golden Daffodil
Daffy is our 5 year old momma. She is the Daughter of Dandelion. Daffy is a 70lb AKC registered Golden Retriever. She is the best momma and shines in her role in our breeding program, welcoming her final litter July of 2026. Daffy is a certified Therapy Dog who loves giving attention to those who need her. Her favorite things are cuddles, camping, hiking, and truck rides (even though she pretends to hate them while in the truck). Daffy is a complete momma's girl also!
Sweet Magnolia Mae V is a 60lb AKC Registered Golden Retriever that is our children's dog, having a strong bond with both of them. Maggie loves car rides and doing whatever her kids are doing. Maggie welcomed her first litter in July 2025 and was a superstar of a mom, loving every minute of it and giving her all. Unfortunately, her pregnancy flared, what is suspected as autoimmune or allergy, so she will be spayed this year and enter retirement, being the loving nanny for our other moms.
Holly Berry is our Sweet 2.5 Year old AKC Golden Retriever weighing 67lbs. Holly Berry is our goofy girl, but once she's in her working vest all eyes are on mommy. Her tail has no off switch and when she comes in for cuddles it's with a head and chest plop that you will never forget. Holly is obsessed with balls, rocks, water and any adventure that means a Truck ride! Holly is currently work as a response and mobility service dog for me and will begin training for Gluten Detection this fall.
Willow is our sweet little girl we kept out of Teddy and Daffy's litter last summer. She is a wild child, but very easy to train, eager to please and full of energy. Willow loves coming to visit momma Katie and her Dog family. She is currently weighing in around 55lbs and lives with her Guardian family in Spokane. Willow will be bred after she completes all her health clearances once she turns 2 in July 2027.
