Meet the breeder

I'm Tracy U., the breeder behind Glenmac Goldens located in Chico, CA. Our Golden Retrievers are bred with intention and then raised with a lifelong commitment to excellence. What sets our breeding apart is the balance between science directed best practice and pure love for this breed of dog.

Q. & A. with Tracy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    At the request of a friend, I went along to help her select her first Golden Retriever. She was getting her new puppy from a college friend who had been breeding Goldens for years. I wound up buying our Cydney who became the foundation for Glenmac Goldens.
  • What makes your program special?

    From day one, every puppy is raised in our home as part of our family-not in kennels. They are exposed to household sounds, people of all ages, and gentle early-neurological stimulation. Each litter is thoughtfully planned, pairing health-tested parents with outstanding pedigrees that reflect the classic Golden Retriever temperament: intelligence, affectionate, eager to please and steady-minded.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
