Sunbuilt's 'B'eatles All You Need Is Love
CGC CA TKN FITB

Grace in Her Heart, Gold in Her Soul

Allya is one of the most kind-hearted dogs we’ve had the privilege to raise. With her calm, affectionate nature and steady confidence, she brings enthusiasm and balance to everything she does. Allya is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world—and she’s content providing deep pressure therapy across your body, just as she is playing in the yard or exploring new places.

She’s intelligent, highly trainable, and incredibly people-focused—everything we value in a purpose-bred Golden Retriever.

Allya (pronounced all - yah as in All "Ya" Need Is Love)

Nicknames: YaYa, Smalls, Smallya, Spinnin Smalls

Allya has a spark that’s impossible to miss. With her classic moderate golden coat and soulful, intelligent eyes, she turns heads everywhere she goes—but it’s her temperament that leaves a lasting impression.

Warm, affectionate, and deeply people-focused, Allya has an uncanny ability to make instant connections. Whether she’s stretched out at a coffee shop or navigating busy public spaces with quiet confidence, she brings calm and joy wherever she goes. But underneath that gentle nature lies a playful, driven side. She’s athletic and agile, with a special love for flirt pole chases and running through agility exercises and obstacles as a novice.

A true training partner’s dream, Allya is bright, eager, and highly biddable. Her work ethic, coupled with her love of people, made her an ideal foundation for our program. In her first litter, she produced five service dog prospects—each one currently thriving in professional training. Her puppies carry forward her resilience, confidence, and innate curiosity about the world.

Allya has passed her full health testing with flying colors (view more):

Hips: OFA Good (Top 5% PennHIP of the breed)
Elbows, Eyes, Advanced Heart: Normal/Clear
Genetics: Full breed panel clear

Allya holds multiple fun AKC titles, including:

Canine Good Citizen (CGC)
Trick Dog Novice (TKN)
Fit Dog Bronze (FITB)
Coursing Ability (CA)

We will continue to do much more with her. Time flew and she's already 3 years old and we did not want to miss the opportunity to bring her pups into the world!

However, these accomplishments are a testament to Allya’s steady temperament, eagerness to please, natural athleticism, and deep love for working alongside her people or other dogs. She’s the kind of dog who can do it all with grace and enthusiasm and a big smile on her face. Allya represents everything we strive to produce: a Golden Retriever balanced in body, mind, and temperament.

Berkley & Duchess — The Legacy Behind Allya

Allya’s father, Berkley, is an exceptional GCHB (Grand Champion Bronze) whose legacy includes siring over 10 successful service dogs for our kennel with Allya’s mother, our Duchess. Duchess is a retired service dog with distinguished roots tracing back to the American Breeding Cooperative and Bergin University of Canine Studies—both committed to breeding and training outstanding service dogs.

Duchess herself is an accomplished canine, having earned titles such as Trick Dog Elite Performer—demonstrating mastery of over 50 trained cues—Canine Good Citizen Advanced, Canine Good Citizen Urban, Farm Dog Certification, lure coursing BCAT, AKC Temperament Test, and Fit Dog Bronze. Her incredible scenting ability has us excited to pursue Barn Hunt titles with her in the near future. She had excellent hip scores and clear genetics. Her offspring's scoring was even better than hers in PennHIP which is an achievement we are proud of in our goal od improving the breed.

Berkley earned his Grand Champion Bronze title swiftly as an owner-handled dog, complementing it with Rally Advanced, and Dock Novice titles, earning him the Companion Dog title. Together, Berkley and Duchess represent the perfect blend of health, structure, trainability, and temperament.

Our ultimate mission is to refine and enhance the structural qualities and overall appearance of service dog purpose-bred lines—elevating them to conform more closely to breed standards while maintaining exceptional working ability and temperament, making them competitive in the show ring.

This remarkable lineage forms the foundation for Allya’s outstanding temperament, work ethic, and versatility—qualities that make her an ideal candidate for producing puppies who would excel in service, therapy, and performance roles.
