Q. & A. with Joanna
Why did you start breeding?
My passion is showing and dog performance trials so we are a small hobby breeder that only breeds once or twice a year, I consider all the genetics involved to breed the best dogs possible.What makes your program special?
We firmly believe the Puppy Culture Program has made a huge difference for our puppies. All my girls and their Studs have all Health Clearances done, OFA and DNA Genetics. We are very excited about this upcoming litter.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 and guardian homes.

Parent dogs
Chloe, mom
Golden Retriever
About Chloe
Chloe is an extreme pleaser, she loves with all her heart! Her Conformation is to AKC Standard, she is a lover of all dog sports. Her love of children and swimming are just everything. Chloe is one of the easiest girls I have trained so far too. She is on the smaller side for a Golden Retriever. This will be Chloe’s second litter. I cannot say enough good things about her first litter. We kept pick boy and he is already halfway to his AKC Championship at 12 months.
Excellent health testing

Golden Retriever
About Bella
Bella is my dream girl. She has one of the most placid personalities I know. Bella was meant for therapy work and will also perform in dog sports with the same easy attitude she has. She learns very fast. She will train with you, exercise with you or just lie by your feet. She is a snuggler that’s for sure. This will be Bella’s final litter. Then she will go back to doing performance sports and being a spoiled couch potatoe.

Joanna was so responsive and supportive as she guided me through the process of getting our first family dog. She was surprise for my husband and son and I entrusted her with picking the perfect puppy for our family, and wow did she deliver. We could not have picked a better dog if we had chosen her out of a catalog! She is beyond gentle with our son, sweet natured, loves to snuggle, befriends any dog she meets and isn’t scared of thunder or fireworks thanks to early exposure from Joanna. We had to change plans for our pick up of our puppy, and Joanna was so considerate and helpful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and when it’s time to add our next addition, she is the first person I will be reaching out to!

+5As a first time dog owner, I am so grateful to have come across Joanna's page on Good Dog when my husband and I started our search for a golden retriever. Not only was she so easy to work with, Joanna's process was seamless and you could tell how much care she puts into safe breeding and raising these pups with the most proper care before they go to their forever homes. She also temperament tests each puppy to ensure they go home with the right family, which is how we ended up with our girl, Margot. She is truly the sweetest, most gentle dog -- with a unique personality that never ceases to make us laugh. We are constantly getting compliments from family and friends about how calm her demeanor is. We are so grateful to have worked with Joanna on adding Margot to our family and I can confidently say you won't regret working with her either.
