Meet the breeder
I'm Ashley F., the breeder behind Faded Ash Goldens located in Kingwood, TX. I am a small hobby breeder dedicated to the improvement and advancement of the English-style Golden Retriever. As a breeder, I am a steward of the future of my breed, so I am careful to always maintain ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising my puppies with proper socialization. For this, I use the Puppy Culture method. I love to talk about goldens so please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
As we researched and learned more about the breed, we became acquainted with the standard for the breed in their country of origin. We were very impressed with the dedication and work done by one particular program in the Netherlands. Eventually, we were lucky enough to welcome Multi Champion Robin Hood of the Morning Valley, Mac into our family from this kennel.What makes your program special?
Like so much of the world, I work to follow the standard set by the breed's country of origin (The Kennel Club).What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Ashley

Ashley partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.
“I like to work closely with families to place puppies based on temperament, personality, and overall fit. Together, we will talk through your family’s lifestyle, preferences, and what you are looking for in a puppy. From there, we work together to narrow down which puppy may be the best match for your home. My goal is to ensure every puppy is placed where they will have the best opportunity to thrive.”
Price
“Puppies come with AKC limited registration, microchipping, deworming, and current vaccines. Puppies are checked by a licensed veterinarian before leaving for their new homes.

Birdie, mom
Golden Retriever
About Birdie
I am very excited about the possibility of a future litter from this beautiful girl later this year. She was imported from Europe and has many of the qualities I value deeply in my program. She is a lovely blend of cream and gold, with beautiful conformation, a bright expression, and a kind temperament. Beyond her beauty, she is intelligent, affectionate, and eager to connect with the people around her. She carries herself with confidence but has a sweet, gentle nature that makes her easy to love. She is also related to Henry through her sire, which makes her future pairings especially meaningful to me. I am excited for the opportunity to continue working with these lines, as they represent many of the traits I hope to preserve: health, structure, sound temperament, and the loving disposition that makes goldens such wonderful family companions. Although she received health clearances before coming to the United States, this litter is still tentative while we update her final health clearances prior to breeding.

About Henry
Henry came to me from Tatyana Shpachenko in Ukraine. I am very grateful for the opportunity to bring this wonderful boy into our home. His pedigree brings together many of my favorite goldens. I have the highest of hopes for his future. He is an intelligent and gentle boy that possesses the classic golden retriever temperament that the breed is known for. Henry enjoys staying active giving him a powerful athletic build. He frequently tucks his head into my shoulder and easily lounges around the house.
