A Golden Paradise
Meet the breeder
I'm Christine B., the breeder behind A Golden Paradise located in Saint Cloud, FL. I raise quality, European Golden Retrievers with great temperaments, providing wonderful family members for approved families. Hello and welcome to Golden Paradise! We are the “Best” family located just southeast of Orlando on 5 acres in beautiful Central Florida. I am blessed to be home full-time allowing me the time to love and care for our goldens the way they require and deserve. Through many years of homeschooling, my entire family has been involved in one way or another and it has been a very rewarding experience. From my kids to now grandkids, there is always someone around to help love on my puppies! Our Goldens are a part of our everyday life and we cannot imagine owning any other breed!
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised in 4-H and with a love for animals. We always had dogs as part of our family. I purchased my first golden in 2003. I started out with limited knowledge but had an interest in learning to breed. I have come a long way over the years by seeking a mentor and spending many hours and resources to better my program.What makes your program special?
I believe the time I spend to plan a breeding for the purpose of completing a family is important. I am home full time and our dogs are part of our family. We spend our entire days with our puppies preparing them for success. I spend many hours educating our families before they take their puppy home and continue to coach them throughout the puppy experience into adulthood and for life.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
