Meet the breeder

I'm Mandie, the breeder behind Daffodil Valley Goldens located in Puyallup, WA. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence, loyalty, diversity in performance and personality. We do not breed often so when we do have a litter it's a big deal around here. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do! It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member that also fits their lifestyle needs. Our dogs have experience in Therapy, Service and Best Friend Duties like paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, and best of all snuggling. We have a well rounded pack that produces well rounded pups. They get up and go and know when to chill out and rest with you.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
