Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, we always had a golden retriever in my family. My dad was an avid duck hunter and enjoyed taking his Goldens hunting. As an adult, I have been involved in rescue and saw the need for well bred puppies.What makes your program special?
I am fortunate to be able to stay home and focus on raising our puppies. My husband and I do not have children, so our dogs are our family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
