Q. & A. with Beth
Why did you start breeding?
When my children were little we adopted a retired Golden Retriever, and thus a love was born.What makes your program special?
While we carefully breed for health and breed standard, it is equally important that temperament is at the top of the list. All of our Goldens are part of our family, live in our home, and are engaged with us every day!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Paddy, mom
Golden Retriever
About Paddy
Paddy is our matriarch here at Clew Bay, as was her mother, Pippah! Her independence keeps all the girls in line. She enjoyed her obedience training and is very willing to learn. It was such fun teaching her hand signals. She is one of the best copilots - loves her trips to Dunkin' and the lumber yard. Paddy had her very first litter of 11 puppies and has proven to be an extremely warm and loving mom, caring for and teaching her puppies (even up to six months of age) naturally.
