I'm Sara B., the breeder behind Brigadoon Goldens located in Eau Claire, WI. We are a small breeder of performance-bred Golden Retrievers. We prep our dogs for all kinds of activities.

Q. & A. with Sara
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Golden Retrievers to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine! It's an amazing feeling knowing that we made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!What makes your program special?
Our breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next Golden Retriever puppy!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
