From the very beginning, Holly has grown up with and been involved in the sport of dogs. Her father was a trainer and hunting guide at the Running High Hunting Club in their hometown for twelve years, and bred English Pointers and Setters as well as Brittany Spaniels. Having grown up with many different breeds of dogs, Holly fell in love with the retriever’s natural talent in the field along with their laid back demeanor for therapy work, obedience, and cherished family pets.  

Holly retired from working at a small animal veterinary clinic after 18 years to stay home with her children as well as focus and devote more time to Reading Retrievers. While employed at the veterinary clinic, she worked in the roles as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, Receptionist, and then Office Manager.

Holly has been raising Golden Retrievers for the past 20 years.

Before meeting Holly and her "Golden gang," Austin had always been owned by Labrador Retrievers. While he still has a love for the Labrador Retriever, he quickly gained the respect and love for Golden Retrievers and says that they are now by far his favorite breed.
