Meet the breeder

I'm Alicia S., the breeder behind Ginger Snap Golden Retrievers located in Davisboro, GA. We breed beautiful dark-colored Golden Retrievers. Here at Gingersnap Golden Retrievers, we strive to provide the best care for our puppies until they find their forever home. All of our dogs are part of our family. We can't wait to introduce you to one of our quality puppies!

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.

    I cannot speak highly enough of Ginger Snap Golden Retrievers!! They are the epitome of responsible breeding and go above and beyond expectations. Starting with the adoption and selection process, Alecia was so communicative and wonderful. She shared so much information and recommendations about caring for a puppy and how they prepped the puppies for entering their new home. And boy, did that show! When we picked up our Frankie and brought him home, he had no fear and very little separation anxiety from his litter. You could tell he was introduced to noise and movement elements, completely socialized, as potty trained as an 8-week old could be, and amazingly friendly and committed to being the best boy! We were sent home with a basket full of goodies(food, treats, toys), information, coupons, and care and training recommendations. Even after we brought him home, Alecia was communicating and helping with crate training recommendations. In addition to the seamless process of meeting, selecting, picking up, payments, etc. all of the puppies were genetic tested, given first round of vaccines, microchipped, and more. All of this history was documented and kept in a perfect, personalized folder that came home with us. On our first vet visit for boosters, my vet was SO impressed and said he was the perfect puppy!! We were SO lucky to be connected with Gingersnap and look forward to staying in touch with pupdates for years to come!

    Alicia is wonderful! And little CeCe is healthy and gorgeous! CeCe came very well socialized to cats and kids, and so was able to join our household happily. Alicia was very quick in responding to our post -adoption questions about typical puppy naughty behaviors!!

    We had a great experience with Alicia. She is meticulous with her dog’s health and care of her puppies. She answers any questions quickly and helped us with good advice the first week we brought Ray Ray home. Overall a wonderful experience we recommend her highly.

    I had such a great experience working with Alicia! From the beginning, she was very helpful and made the whole process of bringing my puppy home feel easy and exciting. She kept me updated along the way and was always willing to answer any questions I had. It was clear how much she genuinely cares about her dogs and puppies. My puppy has been such a wonderful addition to my life, and I’m so grateful to Alicia for giving me my sweet Tilly girl. I would absolutely recommend Ginger Snap Golden Retrievers to anyone looking for a Golden!

    Alicia was very responsive from the start of the process. She took calls and answered any questions I had about Maverick and his parents. Since I had to travel a distance, Alicia was helpful in making the pickup easy. Good Dog made the process easy from finding Alicia and securing payments. If you are looking for a breeder who cares about your puppies health, be sure to get in contact with Alicia! Couldn't be happier with Maverick - so glad to find the connection with Good Dog
