Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Debbie C., the breeder behind English Creamery Golden Retrievers located in Sewanee, TN. We breed top-quality English Cream Golden Retrievers. Our puppies are raised with care in our home, and we only sell to responsible owners. The quality of our puppies reflects the conscious decisions we make throughout every part of the breeding process.

Q. & A. with Debbie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always dreamed of raising puppies. I have recently retired and now am able to devote the time to breeding and raising the best possible English Cream puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    All our dogs have outstanding health clearances and genetics, as well as championship lineage. Puppies are raised in our home as family pets. We have completed multiple Good Dog certification courses to ensure that we are as knowledgeable and responsible as possible.
  • 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.
