I'm Debbie S., the breeder behind Earth Angel Goldens located in Bruce, WI. We are a very small breeder that follows a more natural approach to raising our Goldens. We have chosen the European lines of Golden Retrievers for their health and temperament. Their beauty is a wonderful bonus! My goal has always been to improve already proven lines through natural rearing, developmental programs, and a home environment.
Q. & A. with Debbie
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been a dog lover and as an adult had some dogs with health problems. I started doing research and taking courses in companion animal health. This led me to want to apply this to a breeding program that would take some of the healthiest lines of Goldens and further improve health and longevity. Temperament is also very important as many of our pups go on to become therapy dogs.
What makes your program special?
Natural rearing and early developmental programs. Buyers are screened and, if for any reason, they are not able to keep their dog, I help to re-home them using the same screening process. Buyers are given information on vaccinations, nutrition, training, etc. They have ongoing support. Pups are sold with a health contract. We work with the buyers to pick the perfect pup for them.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
