Fairway Creek Testimonials - puppies and retreat

"CAN YOU BUY LOVE? You can if you purchase a Fairway Creek Retriever!!!! (Not a paid advertisement :)) Our girl is the most divine creature. She came to us happy, confident and so so loving. Gayle told us about the ENS exercises she was doing with the puppies and it really works. Our girl did not blink an eye in her first thunderstorm and she loves baths and adventuring and to top it off she is just a stunning looking dog!
Fairway Creek itself has super high standards and is very transparent. You can see what the dogs and Gayle are up to everyday on Instagram. Cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone wanting more love in their lives. XXXX"

"You should not look anywhere else other than Fairway Creek Retrievers. Gayle is a professional and knowledgeable breeder with a wealth of experience with Retrievers. From the day Maeve was born Gayle was providing us with updates on her development and tips on how to prepare for a puppy. But the support did not stop there from 0-8 weeks Gayle provided the puppies with enriching experiences including ENS training which culminated in a confident and happy puppy. We have also had Maeve return to Fairway Creek when we were on holidays and the love and care that Maeve was shown made her feel extremely welcome. We will definitely return to Fairway Creek for all of our Retriever needs."

"From the moment we reached out regarding the purchase of a Golden Retriever puppy, Gayle’s communication was top-notch. She was always prompt, informative, and caring, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Not only did she provide us with a wonderful, exceptionally bred companion, but Gayle also went above and beyond in starting the puppy's training, which truly reflects the breeder's dedication and expertise.

We are also so appreciative for Gayle’s ongoing care and love even after we took our dog home. She has been a valuable resource, offering advice and support whenever needed. It's evident that Fairway Creek Retrievers genuinely care about the well-being of their puppies beyond just the initial adoption."

"We're so glad we got her from you.  She's such a lovely dog and has been so adaptable and easy to train which is all down to the start you gave her - and everyone we meet comments on how beautiful she is!."

"We got our first golden puppy from Fairway Creek Retrievers and it was the best decision ever!! Gayle was so informative, supportive and always kept us up to date with photos and information before we were able to pick up our puppy. When we took our pup home, Gayle kept in touch with us and gave us plenty of support whenever we asked her for tips. It has been so easy to train our pup and Gayle’s ENS training and early start for the dogs have definitely helped to desensitise our pup to absolutely EVERYTHING! From vacuuming, mopping, car rides, showers, baths, hair dryers, grooming and even thunderstorms and fireworks! Gayle is absolutely amazing, we are so glad we found our forever pup from Gayle and can’t wait to bring him back for visits at the retreat!! Highly recommend Gayle at Fairway Creek Retrievers if you are looking for the best temperament pups or even a retreat stay for your dogs!"

"Our lab stayed with Gayle again for two weeks. He ran up to her husband at pick-up super excited to see him. She was wonderful in keeping us up to date on how he was going with videos, pics and texts. Doggo was clearly having an absolute ball with his other friends on the farm. His usual cheeky character was evident and you could tell he was relaxed and comfortable in the environment as well as being up for play. It's a testament to how well Gayle looks after the dogs she cares for. We will be sending him again for our trips!"

"I can not believe how fortunate we were to finally find Gayle and Fairway Creek Retriever's for our Golden Retriever. I can not recommend them highly enough. We were away for 2 weeks and during that time Gayle took great care of our boy, he was loved and lived his best life while on the property getting to play with Gayle’s beautiful pups. Gayle picked him up, dropped him off, fed him well and sent us wonderful updates regularly. Thank you Gayle and your family. We will definitely be seeing you in the future."

"If you're looking for a premier destination to board your furry friends while you’re away, Fairway Creek Retrievers is where you need to go! Our recent experience with them was nothing short of exceptional.
We were in Italy for a dream vacation, and our beloved goldens, Lucy and Maverick, were in the capable hands of Gayle and her family at Fairway Creek. From the moment we handed them over, we knew they were in for an unforgettable experience.
The service was outstanding right from the start. Gayle’s lovely daughter picked up our dogs with the utmost care and kindness. During their two-week stay, Lucy and Maverick enjoyed an adventure of their own, frolicking in the creek, swimming in the pool, and playing with other dogs. They even had the luxury of sleeping in the house—an upgrade we’re sure they relished!
What truly stood out was the personal touch. Gayle sent us regular updates with photos and videos, allowing us to see just how much fun our pups were having. It was clear they were thriving in the environment provided—so much so, we joked they might be reluctant to return to their city life!
The professionalism and care at Fairway Creek are second to none. The pickup and drop-off service was seamless, reflecting the high standards of their operation. If you’re planning a getaway and need a top-notch place for your pets, I wholeheartedly recommend Fairway Creek Retrievers. They provided a five-star experience for Lucy and Maverick, and I’m confident they will do the same for your beloved companions."
