Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
Our dear friend was always talking about her Goldens, so we became curious and started doing some research. This lead us to the purchase of our first Golden Retriever. Needless to say, we have been fans of this breed ever since. We are amazed at their intelligence and ability to connect with people and ascertain their needs. They are so playful and carefree, always ready for an adventure.What makes your program special?
