Meet the breeder
I'm Cindy H., the breeder behind By Grace Golden Retrievers located in Mount Airy, MD. We offer thoughtfully bred, lovingly socialized English Cream Golden Retrievers.
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding secondary to my frustration over the breed not being represented responsibly and because of my deep love of these heart dogs.What makes your program special?
I pay extra attention to details. Excellent health clearances, clear DNA checks, appropriate matching of male and female to fully promote this special breed. I spend basically 24/7 with the puppies after birth until they go to their forever homes and work carefully on raising well socialized, confident and loving future family members.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.

Verified owner · Aug. 2024
The entire journey with Cindy and her kennel has been wonderful. She was very communicative, transparent, responsive, and kind. Her home is beautiful and where the puppies are raised was clean, open, and very homey! Teddy is the sweetest, most handsome pup. I am so grateful to have my new addition, thanks to Cindy’s wonderful breeding practices.
