Meet the breeder

I'm Jennifer W., the breeder behind Floden Farm Golden Retrievers located in Wendell, MN. Floden Farm has provided wonderful field, performance & companion puppies to homes nationwide. Our dogs are home companions as well. Our breeding program grows along with genetic diversity to work toward balanced results with health, temperament & trainability. We offer a 4-year health warranty.

Q. & A. with Jennifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we received a dog at the point we could afford our first golden pet, she had a number of health and temperament issues, passing away at just over a year old. We then learned more about the importance of health tests. Our goal began with the best foundation possible & strive to produce better Goldens for companions & performance. We nurture pups with Puppy Culture, AviDog and other methods.
  • What makes your program special?

    We breed occasionally and spend a great amount of time nurturing and raising our Goldens in-home for optimal socialization. We temperament-test pups to assist in the selection process and match up our families to the pup they are expecting. We warranty our pups to four (4) years of age for hips, elbows, heart & eyes. We will always take back a pup for any reason to avoid a shelter situation.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Jennifer was the only type of breeder I was willing to work with - honest, ethical, and someone who loves her animals and treats them really well. She taught me so much about the breed through this process and really accommodated us in terms of arranging travel to have our puppy brought to California. She always gave thoughtful answers to all my random questions as someone purchasing a puppy for the first time and I really appreciated her overall care and attention throughout the entire process. I think our puppy is a testament to her breeding practices, because he is not only gorgeous but has a naturally amazing temperament and is really easy to train. The vet says he’s in great health and I think it speaks to the importance of safe breeding practices, which is the #1 reason why I chose to get my puppy from Jennifer. We are so in love with him and couldn’t be happier that we found Jennifer and ultimately our new family member, Mishka.

    Very responsive, kind, and willing to answer any and all questions I had. Worked with me and drove my puppy to the airport so I had an easier time picking her up and making my flight. Would definitely recommend!
