Cass F.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

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.
