Almighty Dolly
Meet the breeder
I'm Cara C., the breeder behind Almighty Dolly located in Lewisville, TX. My puppies are bred for health and temperament and will go to their new homes with excellent socialization skills. I socialize them with other dogs, cats, and children. The parents have both been health tested and my puppies stay up to date on their deworming and vaccinations.
Q. & A. with Cara
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because my parents had bred our Goldens when I was young. I wanted to do the same with Dolly.What makes your program special?
Dolly, the mom, is spoiled and cared for before, during, and after pregnancy and motherhood. I treat her and the puppies like my children, and the puppies get plenty of socialization with children, cats, dogs, and other adults. I really believe it is important to introduce puppies to as much as possible at a young age so they have no socialization problems as they get older.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.
