Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
We have a wonderful dog named Ember who has such a sweet temperament that we decided to have her trained as a service therapy dog for the very young foster children in our home. Everyone has loved her personality so much that we decided to breed her. We have enjoyed the process so much that we decided to continue breeding and provide families with loving puppies with wonderful temperaments.
What makes your program special?
I specialize in beautiful dark Golden Retrievers with loving temperaments. My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. All dogs deserve nothing less than to be cherished, spoiled, and pampered, so I strive to place all my puppies in homes where they will be loved as family members!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are dark golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
