Copper Tail Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Ariana R., the breeder behind Copper Tail Golden Retrievers located in Windsor, CA. We follow a strict early enrichment schedule so our puppies join their new families comfortable with; nail trims, baths, ear cleanings, loud noises, crates, and handling. We start potty training at roughly three weeks old when they become fully mobile to create an easier transition.
