Hi, I am Pate! 

My love for golden retrievers goes back nearly 20 years when I first got my very own girl named Rose. With Rose, I was able to learn so much about the breed. We did obediance together and she was a loyal companion for most of my life. Once I went away to college, Rose was too old to go with me, so I purchased another amazing girl, Maya. That is when my love for all things dogs, dog sports and more truly began. 

Since getting Maya, I have also expanded my pack to include Maple and Mango. These girls have opened up a world for me that otherwise would not have presented itself. We do all sorts of fun things together, from Conformation shows, Fast Cat, Agility trials and trainings, different field events, Dock Diving, and Obedience. While we can't always be involved in everything, I try very hard to make sure all of my dogs get the proper enrichment to ensure they live happy, involved lives. 

My girls live in my home and spend their days traveling with me to new trails, friends houses, happy hours and just about any dog friendly patio we can find. When all the fun of our days are over, you can find us cuddled up on the couch relaxing. Most weekends you can find us either at a dog event, or out on the Lady Bird Lake Trail with friends.
