Q. & A. with Robyn
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding through our nonprofit organization. Prior to that, my three children were active in the 4H dog project.What makes your program special?
Our goal is to produce the highest quality Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers through careful breeding plans, genetic and health testing, and evaluation of our efforts. Our priority is quality over quantity, and our puppies are placed in loving homes that we have reviewed carefully.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
