Both were from breeders.

We found Molly in the newspaper over three years ago, and drove around three plus hours to go see her. She was kept in a wire cage [kind of like a playpin] at the far end of the backyard with a doghouse inside. She was five months old when we got her, had an umbilical hernia, and was the last of the litter, so who knows what she could have gone through for all those months.

Daisy was also found in the newspaper over two years ago. She came to us when she was 11 weeks old, and was one of two Golden Retriever pups to choose from [her sister and her]. The puppies [he had Labs, younger Golden Retriever pups which he said were eight weeks old, and Daisy and her littermate sister], were kept in the patio of the backyard with a few "Igloo doghouses" to sleep in.

Getting both of them were one of the best decisions we've ever made.
