Q. & A. with Anne
Why did you start breeding?
We have had a love for Golden Retrievers for over 40 years. We had our first litter in 1979, and the rest was history. In 2012 we decided to start our official breeding program. Our goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Golden Retriever will continue to thrive for generations to come. Our puppies are what transform your house into a loving home.
What makes your program special?
We are focused on temperament, conformation, and the longevity of the Golden Retriever breed. Our love for Golden Retrievers is reflected in the personal touch we put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. We love what we do and can't wait to connect with you and your family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
