Q. & A. with Dianna
Why did you start breeding?
We have seen the difference a well-bred Golden Retriever can make in someone's life. We wanted to do our part to responsibly breed these beautiful dogs for others to enjoy. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with its forever family.
What makes your program special?
Our focus on breeding dogs for therapy/service, conformation, and unmatched intelligence brings us to the front of the pack. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We got our baby Daisy almost 3 years ago from Dianna after conducting lots of research. We are so happy that we were able to meet someone who’s so knowledgeable and helpful. Dianna was so helpful throughout the whole process and we still keep in touch even to this date. She cares about her dogs and is always willing to help. I highly recommend Dianna and her beautiful goldens.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
