EP's Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm EP's Golden R., the breeder behind EP's Golden Retrievers located in Omaha, NE. I have owned and loved Golden Retrievers for 30+ years. My dogs are a part of my family and the puppies are lovingly raised and socialized in my home so that I can prepare them to be wonderful additions to yours!
Q. & A. with EP's Golden
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Golden Retrievers inspired the start of my program. I strive to produce outstanding puppies with a focus on structure and temperament. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in sharing my life with these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
It is a personal passion and hobby of mine to spread love and joy through working with Golden Retrievers. I am very selective with my breeding stock, and will not produce puppies unless they are fully healthy and are excellent representations of the breed standard. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
