“Before I got my last dog, I had researched Bernese Mountain dogs. I loved the traits but their life expectancy was too short so opted to get a different breed. This time around I was going to get a Golden Retriever. That is, until I saw Golden Mountain Dogs. They are the best of both breeds. Likely a longer lifespan, but with the calm demeanor of a A Bernese Mountain Dog, great family dogs, and so cute! I knew I had to have one. My current dog, a Saint Bernard, was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 3 years old. I love him more than anything, but I didn't want that again. I wanted a dog that I could have confidence about their health. Yet, Golden Mountain Dogs are a mixed breed. Most people don't do health testing for a mixed breed. Then I came across a post that mentioned Roberds Farm with multiple people commenting about how happy they were with their puppies that they got from Ashleigh, and she was in Michigan! I messaged her right away with questions, which she promptly answered, and I promised to get back to her when the time was right. When that time came, Ashleigh sent me a list a questions asking about our life and how we would care for the dog. When she was satisfied, I sent her a deposit and kept in touch. I had last pick of 3 boys. I wasn't worried though. After going over the website about 10 times I knew that even the last puppy would be perfect.

When it was almost time to pick him up we set a day and time for me to get him. Ashleigh had paperwork with everything we might need to know and set aside an hour to go over everything, meet the parents, a sibling from a previous litter, and our new baby. She gave us vet records, info on the parents (who are OFA tested!), she had us sign a contract saying if we ever couldn't keep our puppy that we would return him so he would never end up in a shelter. It also stated that we would get him neutered and that our puppy comes with a 10 day health guarantee. She told us that he was given heart, flea, and tick medication and a bath. We received a stuffed dog toy that smells like mom so puppy wouldn't be so scared when he left. She mentioned that she had already started the potty training process (which is going very well for us). We met the dam, sire, and a dog she kept from a previous litter. They were amazing! And I got to see where the puppies were kept (very clean). Then we brought our puppy home.

It's been about 4 weeks and things are great. He's had his check up and our vet said that Ashleigh did a great job with him. I can tell you, I've never spent this much on a dog, but I can definitely see a difference in how he acts versus other puppies I've had or met. He's so calm and gentle, doesn't jump, hardly barks, doesn't bite (teething), did great with fireworks on the 4th of July. He's loves other dogs. His nails were cut and shaped so if he were to jump it wouldn't scratch. I took him to our groomer just to keep up with his nails and get him used to it and he did amazing. You can tell Ashleigh had worked with them. This is seriously the best puppy I've ever had and absolutely everyone adores him. If you are looking for a Golden Mountain Dog, or even just A DOG to add to your family, Roberds Farm is the place to go. I can't say enough good things about the whole process and the puppy I got from them. You can tell they care and it makes all the difference.”

“My experience working with Ashleigh has been nothing short of phenomenal. Every step of the way she has been communicative, kind, informative, helpful, and truly the best at what she does. You can tell how truly loved her dogs and puppies are and that they are part of the family. During the 8 weeks before I got to go pick my puppy up, I got tons of pictures of the puppies and any question I had was always answered promptly and pleasantly — even when I had a million questions :) My puppy, Carmy, came home at 8 weeks old well on his way to being potty trained. At pickup, one of the puppies even ran right outside to pee! I was so impressed that they already knew where to go. In the weeks that I’ve had him, Carmy has been fearless with new people, other dogs, and a new environment, even in a big city with lots of noise — he was clearly well-socialized at the farm and has a great temperament. He has picked up on so many training skills so quickly and has been such a great listener. We get stopped all the time on the street to ask where I got him, and I am always so happy to share my experience working with Ashleigh and Roberds Farm. I feel so lucky to have her lifelong support and be apart of her family!“

“How do you say thank you so to someone who helped create and raise your new best friend? How do you acknowledge the countless hours of preparation, care and commitment spent on ensuring the health and safety of your new pup? Ashleigh, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our ”New” Maggie, her official title given by our two year old daughter. Maggie has seamlessly transitioned into our home and has handled every challenge of joining a new family in stride. Mags willingness to learn and try new things gives credit to Ashleigh’s process and commitment to ENS exposure. From our first chat messages to the last goodbye and then some more checkups once home, Ashleigh has shown her appreciation and love for her pups and their wellbeing. Who is Maggie now? Maggie is 3 months old and is growing like a weed. She loves spending her day playing with our older black lab and we love witnessing our labs youthful side and gentle play once again. When Maggie gets tired she will find a cold spot to rest on either the garage floor or an A/C vent. Maggie wins over the hearts of whoever she meets including our delivery driver and our vet. She frequently receives comments like “she’s the most chill dog ever” and “she seems like the best possible combination of breeds”. We couldn’t be more appreciative of Ashleigh and would once again like to say thank you! We are excited to watch not only our pup grow and develop but to also see the future development of Roberds Farm and their future pups!”

“I grew up with Golden Retrievers and have wanted my own for as long as I can remember. I spent months doing research and looking for a good breeder that matched everything I wanted in my dog. After searching and searching, I was lucky enough to find Ashleigh and Roberds Farm. The minute I looked at her page, I knew Ashleigh was the one I wanted to get my pup from. The immense care and time she puts into each litter is shown in how well adjusted and beautiful each of the past litters has grown into. She also stays in contact with the pups and their families, which is a whole other level of care and support.

I brought Finnegan home on June 23. He was from Oaklee and Gryffin’s Taylor Swift Eras litter. Although I ended up getting the pup I had my eye on since I saw their 2.5 week pictures, I know I would have been equally happy with any of the dogs. Finn is so well adjusted and has a great temperament. He constantly gets compliments on how gorgeous he is and how he just looks like a stuffed teddy bear. His puppy trainer even said she’s never seen another dog as good at reading social cues from others at this young of an age. All of these are due to the care, time, and effort Ashleigh puts into her litters.

I am so happy with Finn and have loved being a Dog Mama. I know I’m going to want to get him a little friend in a few years, and Ashleigh will be the first person I call.”

“We talked about getting a new pup for a few months. By pure luck, we came across Ashleigh on Instagram. You can’t miss it - it’s flawless! After a few days of looking at those sweet puppy faces, we were sold! It helped to see how much she loved all her pups - we just knew we were getting the best of the best!

Thankfully, Ashleigh made the process super easy! She answered all our questions and shared the cutest pics. The puppy selection process was difficult. How do you pick just one? But after spotting our big fluffy boy, I knew we’d made the best decision! Ashleigh gave plenty of info, tips and tricks. She even checked in on Decatur after bringing him home!

Her love for all the babies is obvious and makes for even better puppies than we imagined! We are super grateful for Ashleigh, Indie, and Gryffin.”

“We decided to add a 3rd dog to our family with 2 golden retrievers and the only way we would do it is if we could get one from Roberds Farms. We were always so impressed by the transparency and care that Ashleigh shared about her dogs and their puppies on social media. You felt part of their lives from the beginning!

We picked up our Birdie (Golden Mountain Dog from Kimber x Gryffin) from Ashleigh and it underlined all of the things we felt through the online/virtual process. A pet owner that deeply loves and understands the breeds they own. You can tell immediately how much time and care is spent with every litter. Getting to meet both of her parents + siblings made us feel even better about the type of dog Birdie will grow up to be. What an amazing family! We immediately fell in love with our new pup and she has been a wonderful addition to our family! Birdie is well acclimated, sweet, smart and just a perfect little lady. She has done wonderful in every setting we have introduced her to and recently just started puppy school where she is picking up on things so quickly!

We truly feel like we have a little community thanks to Ashleigh and know she wants to stay part of her puppies lives through updates, which means a lot to us! I cannot recommend enough a puppy from Roberds.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Roberds Farm and Ashleigh! She was available to answer all my questions leading up to getting our new pup and even helped accommodate a different pick up plan that worked for us both. It is quite obvious how much she cares for all her pups and we felt comfortable through the entire experience. Our golden mountain pup has been so calm and easy going, and a wonderful addition to the family!”

“Ashleigh is an incredible breeder! She truly loves each puppy she breeds and you can tell by the temperament and health of her litters that they are raised with so much care and joy. She was a great communicator from the moment the puppies were born to pick-up day and even after I brought my little Bear home - she was always available to answer my questions and send pictures and video updates. I was nervous about flying my puppy home and she went above and beyond to make it a seamless process. My little Bear is truly the best dog I've ever had. He has the most amazing temperament and is very well adjusted - it's really apparent that he was handled a lot as a young puppy and brought up in a safe nurturing environment. I can't recommend Roberds Farm enough!”

“I have gotten two Golden Retriever puppies from Roberds Farm! I was attracted to their redder color and continue to receive many compliments on their appearances. More importantly, they have great personalities. Ashleigh puts a lot of time into raising them. The puppies are handled and prepared for nail trims, ear cleaning, grooming, etc. I can tell she did Puppy Culture work with them. She posts pictures/videos for you to stay updated and helps you choose the right puppy! I described my first dog's personality and told her what I was thinking I wanted for the second puppy. She chatted with me as pick up time came and suggested one to me for my top choice. You can tell she spends lots of time with them. When it came time for puppy pick up, I was able to interact with each female and sure enough the one she suggested was the one I took home. She is exactly what I needed to compliment my current dog. My first Golden has done scent-work, agility and is a CGC, therapy-certified dog. Both dogs are smart, want to learn and please you, as well as love other dogs and all people they meet.”

“I had the most incredible experience with Roberds Farm Golden Retrievers! From the moment I reached out to inquire about a puppy, Ashleigh’s professionalism and dedication shone through. She and her husband clearly care deeply for their dogs, ensuring they are raised in a loving environment with top-notch care.

Throughout the entire process, they were transparent and always available to answer any questions. They provided comprehensive information about the puppy's lineage, health records, and even offered valuable advice on puppy care and training.

Our new furry family member is an absolute joy! She’s well-adjusted, intelligent, and has a wonderful temperament, which is a testament to Ashleigh’s expertise and dedication to raising quality dogs.

I can't express my gratitude enough for the positive experience I had with Roberds Farm. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a loving and healthy companion.”

“My partner and I dreamed of getting a Golden Mountain Dog and were frustrated when we couldn’t find reputable breeders here in the Midwest—until I stumbled upon Ashleigh’s announcement on Facebook that Roberds Farm was expecting their first litter of GMDs! Ashleigh was a total joy to work with throughout the entire process. She was extremely communicative and supportive. Not only did she drive out of her way to drop our new puppy Scout off at the Detroit Airport for us, but she also checked in after the first week to see how things were going. We are so grateful for Ashleigh’s support and our beautiful girl, Scout!”

“We could not be happier to welcome our new golden home and feel so lucky to have worked with Ashleigh. Ashleigh’s love for her dogs was evident from the start. She is invested in ensuring their puppies find a good home. That she stays in touch with owners further demonstrated to us her dedication in this process. She was a complete pleasure to work with, sending us pictures along the way and answering all of our questions. Our new pup, Auggie, is so well-socialized and smart. Due to all of Ashleigh’s hard work, Auggie took easily to her new routine, sleeping through the night, and potty training. We are thrilled and so happy we worked with Ashleigh!”

“I was so grateful to have found Ashleigh on Facebook! We have a one year old Golden Retriever and decided she needed a playmate! We got Skylar who is a GMD (which was Ashleigh’s first GMD litter) I can’t say enough good things about Ashleigh - she was with these pups from day one and shared videos and photos all the time which I truly looked forward to seeing! She takes you on the journey with her as they are growing! Her dedication for her love of dogs is so true and amazing! I can tell you from experience and I have had dogs my entire life but the breeder I got my Golden retriever from Emmie- it was the opposite experience- so I would like to educate people from my experience and hopefully to learn from my mistake- I wish I found her first!!

If you are looking for a Golden Retriever or GMD I recommend Ashleigh 💯 percent - she made everything seamless and met at the airport so Skylar could be flown home. Skylar is sweet, smart, loving, calm— excellent temperament! She already sleeps through the night and is potty training very well thanks to Ashleigh devoting all her time to being with these pups in the first 8 weeks!”

“When we moved to MI we knew we were going to want to add another Golden Retriever to our family. We started looking at breeders and fell in love with Roberds, especially Oaklee and Gryffin. When we found out that they were going to breed Oaklee we knew we wanted one of her pups.

Ashleigh was responsive to all questions and you could tell how much she loves all of her pups! When we made our decision and got to go pick out our pup she was so kind and passionate about them all! We have had the best time with our boy Captain; he is great with our kids, potty trained so easily, slept through the night and is so handsome. I’ve never had a dog get as many compliments as him!

Highly recommend getting a pup from Roberds Farm if you are looking for your next family companion.”

“Ashleigh answered SO many of my questions! She was transparent and so helpful through this whole dog adoption process! So thankful we found her and her amazing puppies!!!!”

“Ashleigh has made this experience so wonderful! I got my dream pup from the twilight litter and now I can’t imagine life without her! Ashleigh was amazing at keeping me posted along the way with photo updates on the pups before pick up day. She made the process so special and you just know how much she deeply loves her animals. I am so blessed that she does what she does because she made picking out a golden retriever family so easy for me! 100% recommend getting a puppy from Roberds farm if you are debating where to find your future pup.”

“Me and my family could not be happier with our Golden. Mo has been a wonderful addition to our family and really has a lot of life and love to give. The Roberds love their animals more then anyone I have ever met. They take the time to care for them and treat them as their own children. Highly Recommend and will for sure return in the future!!”

“There could not be a human that loves animals and especially golden retrievers more than Roberds Farm! Highly recommend this place. The dogs all receive such good care and love from this family. Couldn’t be happier with them!”

“Getting a Golden Retriever puppy from Roberds Farm Golden Retrievers was truly a wonderful experience all the way through! Ashleigh was a delight to work with- very professional, communicative, kind, and prompt. She posts updates each week on the progress of the litter with the sweetest pictures, and she and her husband’s love of dogs (and all animals!) is so evident from their lifestyle and mission as breeders. So much heart and passion goes into the raising of these puppies. Our Wendell boy is our first Golden and is such a sweet and fun pup-he is healthy and well-rounded, very social and smart, and does well with our older female dog. He is such a joy to have around and we are so glad we chose Roberds Farm.”

“We are so thankful we found Roberds Farms. Ashleigh, was incredible from beginning to end of our puppy journey. She quickly responds to questions and is so kind. Ashleigh clearly loves and cares for the puppies as much as her own fur babies. We loved visiting the farm, and found it clean and inviting. It was obvious, Piper aka Mary- Hocus Pocus Litter had been well taken care of. Meeting Willow and Scout (mom & dad) was a plus! Piper is so smart and has the sweetest personality. Potty training was a breeze. On pick up day, Piper was freshly bathed and came home with a bunny smelling like her mama.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Ashleigh and her amazing puppies!! We got our Golden Retriever puppy (sweet Winnie girl) from her Hocus Pocus litter and we are so head over heels in love with our little girl. She is healthy and has the best temperament out of any dog we’ve ever owned. Ashleigh was SO organized, responsive, friendly and professional during our entire journey while working with her. Even after we took Winnie home, Ashleigh was so helpful with training techniques and other questions that we had. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to add a fur baby to their family seeing how positive our experience was with her!!”

“Our little boy Beachy has brought so much love to our family. He is SO smart, loves to explore, and started sleeping through the night at 8.5 weeks. He is the first pet my husband and I have ever had and we couldn’t imagine life without him. I’m so happy that we found Ashleigh. She truly treats each dog like they’re her own. She loves on them and updates you with pictures, and can answer any questions you might have. If you want the most perfect member to add to your family pick Roberds Farm!!”

“Ashleigh is the best puppy mom you could ask for! From the very beginning she communicated all the time , sent photos and really cared about where the pups were going. You can tell the pups were very loved and cared for in their own home. Our puppy was mostly potty trained and very social at 8 weeks. He is also the most perfect color Now that he is almost 1 year. He gets compliments all the time. I highly recommend Roberds for your next fur baby!”

“We are so happy with our Roberds Farm puppy!! “Midnight” (now Dune) from the Eras Tour litter is the perfect addition to our family. The work Ashleigh does with the puppies before they even go home is above and beyond. We get comments all the time on how smart and what a great personality he has. I attribute that to Roberds Farm and the temperament of the puppies’ parents. We love Dune so much and are so grateful that Ashleigh trusted us to love him.”

“I would highly recommend getting a puppy from Roberds Farm. Ashleigh Roberds is wonderful to work with!!! You can tell she puts so much love into what she does and how she raises the puppies. We love our sweet boy Max. He was potty trained very quickly and has been easy to train.”

“We couldn’t of asked for a better experience! The process was very smooth. We brought Penny home at 8 weeks and she’s healthy, sweet, and very social! I can tell that Ashleigh and her husband love and care for these puppies so much. I highly recommend!!”

“Roberds Farm Golden Retrievers is the BEST place to get a golden pup. Ashleigh is absolutely wonderful. It was so easy to communicate with her. We got our male golden, Charlie last August and he has been the best thing to happen to us. He is so smart, obedient, loving and such a beautiful dog. We will always recommend Roberds Farm Golden Retrievers to friends and family. Couldn’t be happier!”

“I got Rory at 8 weeks old and she is the best pup! Very social with people and other dogs. She’s quick at picking up commands and was potty trained within a couple weeks after bringing her home! I recommend Roberds farm Golden Retrievers!”

“I got Jovi here at 8 weeks old and she is my BEST friend. Ashleigh and her husband did such a good job at taking care of all the puppies. Throughout the whole process, I knew my puppy was in the greatest hands. I highly recommend to anyone!!”

“We got my sister her puppy from Willow’s first litter! Ashleigh and her husband were great to work with – kind, professional and most off all they love their pups! Dottie (the puppy) is almost a year old now and she is sassy, playful and so sweet! I would recommend getting a golden retriever from Roberds Farm! You will gain a new family member in your dog and a new friends in Ashleigh!”

“Ashleigh was so helpful when we were considering a new puppy for our family. This is our third golden retriever that we’ve owned but it was our first golden purchased from a distance. I knew they were loved by their puppy mom the minute I saw them! We are about an hour and half away from Williamston but Ashleigh sent videos of the females and went above and beyond to help us see their personalities and help us find our Sadie. Our girl is nearly 11 months old now and so greatly loved. She adjusted to our home immediately and is such a loving pet. Potty training was very easy and now she rings the bell any time she needs to go out. She is a very smart puppy! would highly recommend a puppy from Roberds, they are happy & healthy from the start. WISH I COULD HAVE ANOTHER ONE!”

“We got our male golden at 8 weeks old. He came home fully potty trained, healthy and full of love. The process of getting our puppy was smooth and easy. Ashleigh and her husband were very professional and accommodating throughout the whole process, they loved each puppy as if it were there own. Definitely recommend.”

“Got my puppy at eight weeks. He came with a stuffed animal, detailed paperwork, he was fully potty trained, and socialized. I highly recommend this farm!”

“Our daughter, Autumn, purchased little Winston from Roberds Farm Golden Retrievers and he has been the best addition to their family. He is so sweet and so funny! He’s acclimating well to life on their farm and his big sister, Matilda, adores him. Working with Ashleigh was absolutely seamless and we’d get another puppy from her any day of the week - you can tell that the puppy was very well socialized! It was a HUGE plus knowing his mom and dad were on-site and that Ashleigh takes the puppies health so seriously.”

“We had such a great experience with Ashleigh and our family couldn't be happier to have our sweet puppy "Nellie" from Roberds Farm. Ashleigh communicated throughout the process and made pick-up day easy, fun and informative. We were also so glad to meet Nellie's mom and dad at the farm and see first-hand her gentle, beautiful lineage. We've been saying from the day we brought Nellie home that she's such a sweet, happy dog. Thank you Ashleigh!”

“I found Ashleigh’s page on Instagram and was hooked on the cute puppy photos but also how she seemed to really care about her pack. When we lost our sweet golden this past year I knew when we were ready we would be visiting Roberds Farm. We picked up Murphy 3 days before Christmas and he just fit right in to our chaotic family.

Our experience with Ashleigh was great! Her pups are well taken care of and so loved. She lets you meet siblings and parents, brings you into her home and makes you feel so welcomed. She was also great and going through each pups personality and patiently answered any questions we had about her or the pups. You leave feeling like part of the family.

Thanks Roberds Farm for allowing us to add this furry addition to the family.”

“I loved working with Ashleigh to get my Golden Retriever! I spent several months looking at different breeders and was impressed with how much care Ashleigh puts into her dogs and puppies. I loved how open and honest she was about her breeding process and how the puppies are raised. When I came to pick up my puppy she allowed me to take as much time as I needed and to meet his parents Indie and Gryffin. My puppy has been doing so well his first few weeks, he is so easy going and snuggly and gets countless compliments on his temperament and good looks!”

“I can't say enough about how wonderful Maple, our Golden Mountain Dog, has been for my family. When we came to visit the farm, it was like love at first sight. She very, very quickly picked us and has been incredibly lovey from the start. We drove up from North Carolina to pick her up, and she was a champ the entire way home -- she whined a little bit, especially at the start, but she warmed up to it quickly, and didn't have any problems actually being in our car with us. Since then she's warmed up to the whole family really quickly, and she's had a great time with other dogs whenever she's had the opportunity. She's even gotten good about letting us know when she needs to go outside. Sometimes she can be a little obstinate, especially when she gets her eyes on something she wants to put in her mouth, but overall she's extremely well behaved, if a bit rambunctious. It amazes me how quickly she grows, too, it feels like she's almost as big as one of the full-grown golden retrievers I had when I was younger already at just 9 weeks old. We love her so, so much.”

“I could cry writing this because I feel so so blessed to have found Ashleigh and have our Leo. He is my dream dog. We could not be happier with our decision to adopt from Roberds Farm. I have always wanted a Golden Retriever and am so happy that I stumbled upon Ashleigh’s instagram. You can immediately tell how she loves and cares for her animals and farm. We got Leo a few days before Christmas for our 2 year old son. They were instant best friends and I can’t wait to watch them grow up together. Seeing them play together fills my heart. He is sweet and gentle. I still cannot believe how easy it has been training him. He’s already potty trained at 11 weeks, he listens to us, he catches on and is learning so quickly. Our families and friends are always telling us how great of a puppy he is. Again, we just feel so blessed he’s ours. Thank you Ashleigh ❤️”

“Roberds Farm, and Ashleigh is by far the best place to get a puppy from. Getting a puppy from a reputable breeder was really important to me. I am usually more for rescue pups. But I have always wanted a Golden, and when I did my research I found Ashleigh.

Ashleigh was very honest about her dogs and breeding practices, and the health of her dogs and puppies. You can tell Ashleigh loves her dogs!! Ashleigh made the whole process very easy, and updated with information and pictures about the litter. She answered all my questions, and really pin pointed what pup in the litter would be best for my family. We brought Quinn home from the Home Alone Litter in December. Quinn fit right in like she has always been apart of our home! She is very confident, and really smart! She learned her name in a day! Within the week she knew sit, come and has a schedule. She has been incredibly easy to crate train as well. My husband and I were blown away by her in just a few weeks. Not to mention how adorable she is!

I would not hesitate to get another puppy from Ashleigh, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy!”

“I started following Roberds Farm since I was told how they raise the puppies, their dogs/ and their happy beautiful farm. They are their family. They all get so much love and attention. My husband and I were fortunate to get a Golden Mountain Dog, from the Santa Clause litter. Our Basil (previously Charlie, pink collar female) has been a missing piece to our family. She is the happiest, most cuddly, well behaved dog. She was raised on puppy culture so with maintaining that learning aspect, Basil isn’t timid or scared of sudden movements or noises which happen frequently living in a city/townhome. We have the sweetest pooch and can’t wait to watch her grow into her personality. Thank you Roberds for your puppy, she is our happiness!”

"I highly recommend Ashleigh and Roberds Farm. Our experience getting to know Ashleigh, picking up our beautiful Maggie, and staying in contact has been a 5 out of 5.

What stood out about our experience was the excellent communication, pristine environment at her farm, and quality of the dogs she breeds. Ashleigh is open, professional, and so incredibly kind every time we connect. She does a great job of answering questions and providing regular updates. Her farm is a beautiful place and well-maintained. Our Maggie is the healthiest, prettiest pup in the world. It's apparent she was nurtured and well-cared for by Ashleigh. She is easy to train with the sweetest disposition. Maggie has a cute habit of carefully inspecting every new space she encounters. She's very alert and observant. We couldn't be happier!

Thank you, Ashleigh!"
