I'm Deborah A., the breeder behind Beau Chien Retrievers located in Tuckasegee, NC. I have always been passionate about dogs and decided to carry that passion on to breeding my Golden girls. I want to raise the best possible Golden’s with excellent health and excellent temperaments so that other people can enjoy their dogs as much as I have always enjoyed mine.
Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
It began with my passion for all animals but specifically dogs. I have spent the last 3 years visiting breeders, talking with breeders, and reading numerous books, blogs and websites to try to become as informed as possible to be a well-respected breeder.
What makes your program special?
My puppies will be raised in our home until they go to their new homes with my full-time attention and lots of love.
We will use the Puppy Culture workbook of enrichment activities.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Maggie
Maggie is a very sweet, well behaved Golden. She loves several long walks a day. She and Lola go to the pickleball courts most morning and enjoy the attention they receive from everyone. They wait quietly while we play.
