Report
Debbie Hastings designed our beautiful website for Goldiva Goldens. We have multiple links of layers information for our Champion Golden Retrievers from pedigrees to OFA clearances. There are hundreds of photos and slide shows on each page for generations of beautiful dogs. Debbie posts News Flash topics for New Champions; humorous articles from Boston Globe, WSJ and NY Times dog articles like, "Need a Date?
Buy a Dog"; or important health articles like the FDA and Tufts Vet reports on heart disease caused by Potatoes & Legumes in dog foods. Our website has over 75 Champions, all easily reached thru the Search Box for repeat customers to find the parents from 10 years ago. Debbie has made the website easy to maneuver through. She's quick to add the updates or teach us how to do some of the updates ourselves. We get compliments daily on what a beautiful website we have. Thank you Debbie for creating a masterpiece!
