Carlins Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Terri H., the breeder behind Carlins Goldens located in Livingston , TN. Our Goldens spend most of their time with us in our home. Although we do not show our Goldens, they were bred from show dogs and are bred to show dogs. We always complete all OFA certifications on our dogs and adhere to the highest standards during the breeding process. We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America and all of our Goldens and their litters are registered with AKC.
Q. & A. with Terri
Why did you start breeding?
After training my first Golden I bought his granddaughter and had her OFA certifications done and bred her to a Grand Champion show dog.What makes your program special?
I interview all prospective puppy buyers before I will accept a deposit. As I have had this bloodline since 2009 I know what advice to give to those that join our puppy family. We provide frequent pictures from day 1. We provide ongoing support and many of our past buyers board their dogs with us when they go on vacation.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
