daughter Jillian. Living in the country has inspired many of our daily routines and activities. Watching our pumpkin patch grow, flowerbeds bloom and farm animals explore has added a real life dimension to our creativity and education. We homeschool our children which provides extra time to enjoy life on our little farm.

We have a passion for raising quality Golden Retrievers with a background disposition to be amazing family dogs, Therapy and/or Service dogs. Along with raising our Golden's, we have a small flock of chickens we enjoy and Joshua and Jillian are involved in Dairy Goat and Pack Goat projects in 4-H.
In 2016, our family experienced the worst diagnoses a child could receive when our 8 year old daughter Julianna was diagnosed with DIPG Brain Cancer. Our family travel the world to find a cure and she fought with amazing bravery for 2 days short of 9 months. Julianna passed away on August 18, 2017. Our family established the Julianna Sayler Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to inspire awareness, support families and empower researchers to cure DIPG brain cancer in Julianna's honor.
