The Heart of the Bodhi Tree
Our Goldens
Each of our Golden Retrievers is a cherished member of our family—chosen for their exceptional temperament, health, and beauty. With gentle spirits, intelligent minds, and loving hearts, our Goldens are the foundation of everything we do. Meet the dogs who inspire our breeding program and bring joy to everyone they meet.
Aspen
Aspen June Highlands — or simply “Aspen” to us — is the heart of our home and the soul behind every Bodhi Tree puppy. With her creamy coat, soulful eyes, and endlessly gentle spirit, Aspen is everything we love about the English Cream Golden Retriever.
She is loving, intuitive, and empathetic, often sensing exactly when someone needs comfort. Whether she’s curled up at our feet or greeting you with her joyful tail wags, Aspen radiates warmth and connection. She is also wonderfully fun-loving and playful, always ready for a game of fetch or a romp through the woods, yet calm and nurturing when it's time to settle in.
Aspen is fully AKC registered with a strong European lineage and health-clearances in line with our commitment to responsible, ethical breeding. As a mother, she is nothing short of extraordinary — attentive, nurturing, and endlessly patient with her pups.
To know Aspen is to love her — and we’re honored to share her exceptional temperament and legacy with every family we serve.
Dug
If you’ve ever watched Up, you already know what kind of dog Dug is. Just like his movie namesake, Dug lives with his whole heart. “My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you” could not describe him more perfectly — because from the moment he meets you, you’re family.
Dug is the ideal English Cream Golden Retriever: gentle, loyal, and eager to please. His easygoing nature makes him a joy to be around, while his deep trust and attentive personality create a connection that’s truly special. He listens closely, responds with enthusiasm, and carries himself with a calm confidence that makes him both lovable and dependable. Whether he’s trotting around with his favorite toy or quietly resting at your feet, Dug is always present, grounded, and full of affection.
When Dug met Aspen, it was love at first sight. Their bond was instant and effortless — a perfect pairing of warmth, balance, and heart. Together, they bring out the best in each other, and that harmony shines through in their puppies.
Dug passes down his incredible temperament, intelligence, and emotional sensitivity to every one of his pups. He’s not just a beautiful sire, he’s a shining example of everything we love about this breed.
