Gentry’s Pride Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Jordan B., the breeder behind Gentry’s Pride Golden Retrievers located in Albert Lea, MN. Gentry's Pride Goldens has owned and raised Golden Retrievers for over 20 years. Throughout our career, we have raised litters for both hunting trials and conformation shows. We encourage our program to complete breed clearances with passing scores before breeding. We hope to hear from you soon!
Q. & A. with Jordan
Why did you start breeding?
After years of passion for Goldens, I decided there was more for me than just owning a dog. I began my show career at 17 years old. I soon was addicted to showing and fell in love with some great mentors who taught me a lot about breeding. I then produced my first litter after completing all clearances and titles. With such luck, I was able to continue the process ever since.What makes your program special?
Gentry’s Pride Golden Retrievers is a family, not just a breeding program. All our puppy owners are in touch with us at least once a month. We try to visit as many puppies as possible once a year to assure they are getting the best care possible. We enjoy receiving pictures, videos and messages on how our beloved puppies are doing.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
