Ryan & Heidi A.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Ryan & Heidi A., the breeder behind Charm Puppies located in Marshfield, MO. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. Our dogs are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. We are dedicated to achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we love to raise puppies and prepare them for their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Ryan & Heidi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We adopted our 1st English Cream Golden in 2012. His father was from the Netherlands. In 2013 we purchased our 1st female English Cream Golden from Poland. Through the years we kept a few females back from their litters. In 2019 we purchased our male Chase & became good friends with his Breeder. Through that relationship we have been able to use some of her amazing studs, Traveler & Taz.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies and adults are loved on by our family of six. The adults are very well behaved and love play time. They have each been health tested and all their hips came back with great results. Our puppies have ENS, Early Neurological Stimulation. When old enough, they spend time playing with our children on a regular basis. All our puppies are vet checked and come with a health guarantee.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
