We had a fantastic experience with our dog breeder, Ashley, and couldn’t be happier with our new Golden, Honey! From the very beginning, Ashley was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her dogs. She kept us updated throughout the process and provided detailed information about Honey’s background, care, and personality.
Honey has been an absolute joy—she’s healthy, well-socialized, and has the sweetest temperament. It’s clear she was raised with a lot of love and attention. We’re so grateful to have found a breeder who truly cares about the wellbeing of her dogs.
Thank you, Ashley, for helping us find the perfect addition to our family. We can’t imagine life without Honey!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
