Located in the serene Indiana countryside, our home is a place where love, dedication, and expertise come together to create a haven for these magnificent dogs.
Q. & A. with Hillery
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved Goldens. We had two goldens while our boys were small. Once my boys were all in school and we tragically lost one of our goldens I found a need for ethical breeding while searching for our next furry family member. I made it a priority to learn as much as I could and to breed holding health, structure and temperament as my standard.
What makes your program special?
Our Goldens are our family. They are raised in our home and with us at all times. I have four boys that love, play, and ensure they are exposed to play and socialization. Our first priority is the health, wellness, and happiness of our girls then replicating that for other families. We want to send home a puppy that is your next best friend.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
