Eevee is the foundation of Laurelin Goldens, and yes, she’s named after a Pokémon. She is everything I ever wanted in a dog and more. She’s beautiful, brainy, and full of sass. When I was telling her breeder what I wanted in my next dog, I said that I wanted a confident, smart girl that would excel at AKC Obedience and if she was nice enough structurally to be a show dog, then great! In typical Eevee style, she is – of course – both. Eevee finished her AKC Championship in May 2022 and her AKC Grand Championship in August 2023. She is ALWAYS owner trained and handled. If you can’t tell from her photos, she LOVES dock diving and has her Dock Senior title. She also has her Novice Obedience title (CD) and is in training for Open and Utility.

Speaking of training, Eevee is such a fun dog to train. She’s smart, biddable, and confident. She also learns quickly, loves to work, and takes corrections in stride. Eevee is very much a “let’s try that again” dog as opposed to an “I’m so sorry” dog. And she can handle drilling for more than three reps without shutting down, which I love. However, Eevee is a lot of dog (in more than one way): she has a lot of drive and energy and is a larger girl at 23”+ and 68 lb. She is a fantastic adult, but was a very busy, mouthy, energetic puppy. I expect her puppies to have similar temperaments, so her puppies may be difficult for first time owners. Performance/show homes and active experienced homes are preferred.
