Meet the breeder

I'm Agnes V., the breeder behind Agnes' Golden Retrievers located in Bethel, OH. We offer top quality well socialized dogs, with a focus on obedience. We also require that our breeding dogs complete all four OFA.

Q. & A. with Agnes

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I always wanted to breed Golden Retrievers but never had the right dog to breed. However when my obedience puppy started gaining titles and consistently scoring in the high 190s I knew that this was the dog to breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our parents and puppies are raised in our homes as part of the family. We live on a farm and the puppies are socialized with children and lots of animals including cats, chickens, and horses.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
