Meet the breeder
I'm Micheline L., the breeder behind Chevaline Goldens located in Sarasota, FL. With great love and care we strive to produce the highest quality of well-rounded, balanced puppies that make exceptional family companions. Our primary breeding focus is stated best in our motto: "Breeding with the purpose of enhancing overall Health & Breed Standard of the Golden Retriever".
Q. & A. with Micheline
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding over 30 years ago but bred only an occasional litter for pet puppies. Recently my granddaughter has taken up dog handling as a Jr for AKC shows and in a very short time she is now the top Jr handler in the nation for Golden Retrievers and qualified for the first time in 2024 for Westminster. This breeding program was set up for her future and the love of the breed to maintain the breed standard set by the GRCA.What makes your program special?
We focus on carefully scrutinizing genetics to breed for the highest level of health and longevity. Although we can not control or guarantee God’s plan we do go through great lengths to minimize major heath issues.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
