Meet the breeder
I'm Cass F., the breeder behind Cream of the Crop Kennel located in Williamson County, TN. I strive to improve the breed by producing puppies of exceptional health, pedigree, temperament, and beauty. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a furry companion has. This magnificent breed and white color stole my heart from the beginning.
Q. & A. with Cass
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the English Cream Golden Retriever. I want to do my part to improve the breed by producing puppies of exceptional health, temperament, and beauty.What makes your program special?
My dogs represent the best of the English Goldens because they are carefully selected for their pedigree and health! I care deeply about my dogs and puppies, and do everythingpossible to ensure they get the best lives possible - that includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. Each puppy placed with a new family is the start of a lifetime of love.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.
