Raising the next member of your family is not a responsibility that we take lightly.
Q. & A. with Alisha
Why did you start breeding?
Our family doubled in size in 2016 when we added two golden retriever girls, Piper and Cessna, who later became our very first moms. We now have two beautiful puppy loving boys in the mix that enjoy raising puppies as much as we do. We are committed to raising the most perfect puppies using best practices in puppy rearing and socialization and then finding them the perfect forever home.What makes your program special?
Our dogs enjoy 40+ acres to roam, a crystal clear lake to swim in, and of course, lots of love from our family and friends. We stay in touch with all of our Gardenia Goldens’ families as we offer lifetime support. It is important for us to know that every puppy we’ve had the privilege of raising is healthy and happy. Because of the amount of work we put into each puppy for life, we only do around 2-3 litters per year because we want to maintain the integrity in this process.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
