Meet the breeder
I'm Tammy W., the breeder behind Dream Golden Retrievers located in Hollister, CA. I am a lover of all things Golden Retriever. Helping to promote happy and healthy dogs. I breed golden retrievers with the help/guidance of my many mentors. Currently all litters planned this year are reserved.
Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
I have a mentor that believed in me and inspired me to give it a try. I give it everything I have for the short time I have my puppies and my goal is to provide and promote quality Golden Retrievers that meet the GRCA standards.What makes your program special?
I devote my every moment to the puppies. I work very hard to ensure that they are ready for the big world ahead of them by providing them with continuous training, socialization, and love. I send my puppy families home with lots of information and I am always here for them to assist them and/or learn together.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Reba, mom
Golden Retriever
About Reba
Reba is the sweetest girl you could imagine. Reba has these sweet eyes that just dare you not to love on her. She is always calm, well unless there is a rogue squirrel in the back yard, and she loves to cuddle. She is my girl that is always just relaxing and hanging out with me on the couch. If you ever wanted a dog to just “be” with you, then Reba is your type of girl. I sometimes refer to her as my “cat/dog” because you can usually find her curled up on the couch. Reba is current on all of health exams. She has her heart clearance, eye clearance and her hip and elbow clearances. She has not had a single health issue.

Bunny, mom
Golden Retriever
About Bunny
Bunny is my sweet girl. She is my cuddle bunny. She is the first girl to take a nap with me and always has to be touching me. She is very well behaved and calm. She is a bit of a ball fanatic! If there is a ball to be found it will end up in her mouth. She falls asleep most times with her ball safely secured in her mouth, so no one can steal it. She loves to play a funny little game while I’m working in the kitchen where she uses her nose to push the ball to me and wants me to kick it back to her. She always makes me laugh. Bunny loves the water and is a great dock diver. Bunny is current on all of health exams. She has her heart clearance, eye clearance and her hip and elbow clearances. She has not had a single health issue.

Sadie, mom
Golden Retriever
About Sadie
Sadie is an amazing girl who loves to please. She follows me around like my shadow and wants nothing more than to get loves. She absolutely loves the water and is an amazing dock diver. (If you aren't familiar with this, you will see pictures of her on both FB and IG) She is very smart and knew all the basic commands at a very early age. Sadie is current on all of her health exams. She has her heart clearance, eye clearance and her hip and elbow clearances. She has "excellent" hips. She has not had a single health issue. She actually participates in the Morris Animal Foundation Cancer research study which requires a yearly, very in depth, health exam that requires her to be at the vet most of the day and give samples of pretty much everything you can think of. They are tracking the cancer that plagues our golden’s by following 3000 golden retrievers for their lifetime. You can find that information here: https://caninelifetimehealth.org/about-the-golden-retriever-lifetime-study/
