Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
Shortly after the acquisition of Maeve, horse showing gradually evolved into dog showing and it would become clear that Maeve would be the cornerstone of our program. We are eternally grateful to co-own Maeve with her breeder who tirelessly lends her trove of knowledge and endless support!
What makes your program special?
Using the standard as our compass, we strive to produce sound and balanced dogs bred according to the code of ethics set forth by the GRCA. We are proud members of the Golden Retriever Club of America and our dogs are AKC registered and undergo health testing through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, UC Davis, and Embark.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
