We are a small working farm based kennel. We raise beautiful healthy golden retrievers, dairy heifers and grandchildren. We also have a small dog Boarding facility called Paws Awhile Inn where we board mostly our goldens that have been born here but do have a few outside dogs that stay with us from time to time. All of our dogs are allowed to be simply DOGS. They love to be outside romping and playing to their heart's content. Then they love to come inside and watch TV with us. Below, is Nattie and Kenzie. Nattie heads up the welcoming committee when you visit our farm. She is one of our retired mothers. Almost all of our goldens are related to Nattie.
Our Goldens are the Classic American Retrievers with a hint of European influence for our clients who like the broader heads and lighter color.

Cassie was our antique Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She passed away on May 31, 2010. Cassie spent 15 years on our farm. She spent her last day doing what she had always done and loved doing...greeting visitors. She will be missed always.

Goldens at Four Oaks
 | ||||||
Here at Four Oaks we actually make our living farming. For many years we have raised dairy replacement heifers and sold them all across the southeast! We mostly have Holsteins, but occasionally we have Jerseys, Brown Swiss and Crossbreeeds available. Here are a few of the heifers enjoying an afternoon drink of water.
Nattie and her granddaughter Lulu. Lulu is a little girl out of Savannah's last litter. She was very tiny physically but had a huge personality, and in a litter of 11 puppies she started out with all the odds against her,but as you can see she has grown like a bad weed has placed her paws very much on everyone's heart here at Four Oaks. Grandma has taken over her upbringing so we think we have another Nattie coming on!!!
Our grandaughter, Kelsie loves her horses. This is Kelsie and her Appy mare Ginger "stylin and profilin" in the Commerce Christmas parade 2010.

Nattie and her buddy Skipper, our Golden Retiever wanna be, taking a little rest break together. Its a hard job watching after the whole farm and Nannie!!
If they were to put the words"Golden Retriever" in the dictionary then they could use our Nattie's picture beside it to show what they are supposed to be. She is an absolutely perfect example of her breed in looks, temperament, size and intelligence! (Of course I guess it could be said that we are just a little bit prejudiced).
All celebrities have to have "shades" don't they??
Our sweet Abbie passed away on July 22nd 2011. She was a beautiful gentle spirit and we will miss her always.
