*****Five Gold Stars Breeding Program*****

Breeding Goldens with star quality, which shines in whatever role they take, as Golden Retrievers can do a great many things.

Our Kennel Name:

Although we live in the busy city of Virginia Beach, VA, our kennel name is taken from “a little piece of heaven." This phrase refers to Carova which is nearby located in the outer banks of North Carolina. Nothing seems to compare in beauty as seeing my Goldens running on Carova Beach. Glistening golden fur, under the warm glow of the sun, prior to splashing in the ocean waves is pure joy for all. Carova Beach, Golden Retrievers, and pure joy equal a Carova Golden Retriever.

Our Foundation:

Pawnee Mooving To The Music RN CGC ( Opal) is the foundation for Carova Golden Retrievers.

Toni Norton and her husband Monte established Pawnee Goldens about twenty years ago. I have two Pawnee Goldens and both share the wonderful golden temperament that I required out of a golden retriever. I looked for over a year for the right breeder and count my blessings everyday that I found Toni. Toni has been my mentor and a treasured friend. She has taken every phone call and answered endless emails as I question things that I learned at various seminars or read in various books. Toni has provided guidance in regards to pedigrees and helping me to make the right choices, so I can enhance the Carova line with each future breeding. Toni, I love you and hope to always make you proud by putting into practice lessons you have taught me over the years.

Opal enjoys a variety of activities.
