I'm Dawn B., the breeder behind Dawn Bohan's Golden Retrievers located in Kent County, MI. I specialize in producing top-quality Golden Retrievers for private service work. My dogs are bred with a focus on conformation, workability, trainability, sweetness, and longevity. They make excellent service dogs and lifelong companions! I do not offer pups to the public at this time.
Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
My primary focus is to produce dogs with strong working ability, trainability, solid temperaments, great health, and outstanding conformation. I breed puppies for families in need of a Service companion, and I do not take applications for the public at this time.
What makes your program special?
I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance on this breed, and I strive to help set the standard for what a responsible breeding program should look like. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for my Goldens and their new forever families.
