Hello, and welcome to LMU Goldens. I’m Letisha Uber, and my passion lies in raising exceptional Golden Retrievers with a strong focus on breed standards, health, temperament, and longevity.

A Lifelong Love for Dogs

My journey with dogs began early in life, growing up in a home with animals. My grandfather raised and bred Doberman Pinschers, while my “Pappy” bred Lhasa Apsos, offering me my first glimpse into the world of dog breeding. My mother, an accomplished breeder and handler of AKC Champion Cocker Spaniels, further influenced me. Surrounded by her network of knowledgeable friends in the breeding and show world, I was fortunate to learn from some of the best. Their guidance instilled in me a deep respect for ethical breeding, structured training, and a commitment to canine health, all of which continue to shape my philosophy today.

My Breeding Journey

My breeding journey began in 2011 with American Pit Bull Terriers. In 2013, I expanded to English Bulldogs under the mentorship of an experienced breeder. Then, in 2018, I found my true passion with Golden Retrievers. This chapter taught me the value of early development and the critical role of genetic health. These incredible dogs quickly became treasured members of our family. Their intuitive, gentle nature had a life-changing impact on my son, who is on the autism spectrum. Their ability to connect, comfort, and support him inspired me to share the healing presence of Golden Retrievers with other families.

Commitment to Animal Welfare

In addition to breeding, I have always been deeply committed to animal welfare. Over the years, I have rescued and rehomed a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, fish, and more. As a foster caregiver for my local shelter, I provide a safe and loving home for animals awaiting permanent placement. I also mentor aspiring breeders, helping them develop ethical programs that prioritize health, sound development, and responsible practices.

The Heart of LMU Goldens

I am committed to breeding Golden Retrievers that uphold the highest breed standards, with a continued emphasis on health, temperament, and longevity. I have had the privilege of whelping many litters, always ensuring that both mother and puppies receive exceptional care and attention.

One especially memorable moment was assisting with an Aussie-Golden Doodle litter, bred by the same trusted breeder as Bella, while the breeder rested after becoming overwhelmed by the stress of her first litter. Supporting that delivery remains one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.

I also helped whelp Bella’s two large litters, which produced 12 and 14 puppies. Bella is the daughter of Zeke and Ella, the foundation dogs of LMU Goldens, and she represents the beginning of my lifelong commitment to raising outstanding Golden Retrievers.

My Ongoing Mission

My dedication to hands-on care, continued learning, and a strong belief in the power of responsible breeding drives me every day to improve, evolve, and uphold the values that make LMU Goldens a trusted name for quality and care.

The Compassionate Breeder Approach: Nurturing Healthy, Happy Companions

At LMU Goldens, we follow a Compassionate Breeding Philosophy centered on trust, care, and long-term well-being. Our approach includes:

Ethical breeding practices: We focus on quality over quantity, carefully planning each litter to ensure optimal health and development.
Transparency: Families receive detailed health records and ongoing support throughout their dog’s life.
Education for new owners: We empower families with knowledge on proper care, training, and nutrition to support lifelong health and happiness.

Unleashing Your Puppy’s Potential with Early Stimulation Techniques
To give each puppy the strongest start in life, I incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) from the very beginning. These proven techniques play a powerful role in shaping well-rounded, resilient puppies, and I have seen their positive impact time and again.

Although there are ESI kits available on the market today, I choose to use my own carefully selected scents and methods based on what I have found to be most effective. This hands-on approach allows me to personally tailor the experience for each litter.

These early experiences help promote:

Stronger immune systems and better stress tolerance
Enhanced problem-solving skills and greater adaptability
A confident, balanced temperament that supports lifelong success

I am proud to offer these early enrichment practices and love seeing the difference they make in my puppies’ growth and development.
