Q. & A. with Kerry
Why did you start breeding?
Many years ago I rescued a German Shepherd that was pregnant and I found my passion. I love playing a role in preserving and improving the beautiful golden retriever, and giving precious little ones the best start in life.What makes your program special?

Parent dogs
Aila, mom
Golden Retriever
About Aila
Aila is a UKC and International champion, and has multiple working titles. She is so sweet and calm when need be, but goes bonkers for birds. I’m getting her evaluated by a field trainer early 2024. My goal is to get her hunt titled after I finish her AKC CH. Aila is also my psychiatric and mobility service dog. I love everything about her! I like her balance, smooth movement coming and going, and pretty head. She has a thick correct coat, and is developing nice feathering.
