I'm Anne I., the breeder behind Bramble Berry Goldens located in New Harmony, UT. Our family started breeding only recently, but we have wonderful mentors to guide us along the way. All of our dogs (and studs) are tested according to The Golden Retriever Club of America Health Statement, we follow the GRCA code of ethics, and we raise our puppies using Puppy Culture methods.
Q. & A. with Anne
What makes your program special?
We feel like our program is special because we have taken our education on human health and applied it to our dogs. Because of this, we feed raw (meat, dairy, veggies, and supplements), see a holistic vet (Dr. Kathy Backus DVM), and focus on your puppy's emotional & mental well-being! We use ENS and Puppy Culture to provide a range of early learning experiences and socialization opportunities.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
