I'm Stasi B., the breeder behind Bonham Farms located in Wilmington, OH. We are a small, in-home breeder of quality Golden Retrievers with over 20 years of experience! We breed our dogs with an overall concentration on long-term health. We offer extensive options for assistance after the puppies are in their new homes with training, housebreaking, and problem-solving. We have lifetime take-back guarantees on all of our dogs as well. We can't wait to connect with you!
Q. & A. with Stasi
Why did you start breeding?
I was introduced to dog breeding by my father-in-law, a veterinarian, over 20 years ago. He was my mentor and guided me on what was necessary to produce good quality pets. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
What makes your program special?
I keep the same bloodlines that I have had for several years because I like the quality. I specialize with hunt lines as opposed to show lines in my dogs, so they have a shorter coat than some Golden Retrievers. My German Shepherds are socialized and raised in a positive atmosphere with positive reinforcement training exclusively. I am happy to tell you more about what life with a Golden Retriever or German Shepherd is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
