LeeAnn L.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm LeeAnn L., the breeder behind ElkRidge Goldens located in Cascade, MT. My Golden Retrievers are certainly known for their beauty. They are a dog with a kindly expression, pretty dark eyes, and a wagging tail. My Golden Retrievers are also known for their temperament. A well-bred Golden Retriever is gentle, kind, loving, loyal, happy, confident, and outgoing.

Q. & A. with LeeAnn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    One day I decided to take the leap from being the student to the teacher. I will never look back!
  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on health and temperament. All of my puppies are raised in my home and part of everyday life. My puppies tend to have a calmer demeanor and a more willing attitude.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
