Meet the breeder
I'm Marina T., the breeder behind English Cream Goldens of Tampa Bay located in Riverview, FL. These puppies are AKC registered. When you come to my home to visit my puppies you will see the loving environment they are starting their life in. Not only will you meet the parents but all of my dog family. Our dogs live a stress free life and have a 15 acre horse farm to roam and explore. Happy parents make happy puppies! You will also see the physical environment the puppies are being raised in from their whelping area which is climate controlled to the puppy door that leads out to an open covered porch where they have ample exposure to fresh air and sunshine. I breed with a focus on health and will provide OFA clearances for heart, thyroid, knees, elbows and hips. I have also initiated testing for Congenital Myasthenia Syndrome, a neurological disorder in Retrievers. Puppies are started at 4 weeks on Fromms puppy food and are wormed regularly and will go home with health certificates showing their first round of vaccines. Also offered is a 2 year guarantee for any genetic abnormalities. Contact me to set up a meet and greet and experience a fun dog/puppy day!
Q. & A. with Marina
Why did you start breeding?
I started off breeding Rhodesian Ridgebacks as I had a wonderful female and want to have a puppy from her. I enjoyed raising that first litter and found that my nursing background came in handy. After years of raising Ridgebacks, I decided to raise a more family oriented breed, the Golden Retriever. I found that I really enjoy meeting puppy buyers and seeing the joy that the Golden's with their golden personalities bring to individuals and families especially since my girls come from strong therapy lines.What makes your program special?
I only breed three to four litters per year. Besides breeding healthy and happy puppies, I feel that I am very good at matching puppies with individuals and families because I take a lot of time figuring out exactly what puppy is going to best fit that puppy's person personality. Some people want a quiet and soulful companion while others may want a more active and outgoing companion. Even though most puppies are active, even at 8 weeks you can tell how they will evolve into an adult dog. Being that I work from home I am able to spend a lot of time with them and know their personalities.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
