Our priority is to make sure we are producing high-quality pups and provide them a long, happy life with their forever families. Our dogs are family members first and foremost.

Q. & A. with Mary Jo
Why did you start breeding?
I received my first Golden as a present, and it was love at first sight. Honey was my foundation; I learned so much from her and she is what drove me to develop my program. I began taking her to shows and researching the breed. It has now been 28 years, and I have truly loved the journey!What makes your program special?
I put my whole heart into my program. I breed healthy, beautiful Goldens. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program. May your heart be as Golden as ours!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 and a kennel on my property.
