Q. & A. with Brittani
Why did you start breeding?
My passion for Golden Retrievers and experience training service dogs inspired the foundation of Glimmer Goldens. Recognizing the need for dogs with sound temperament and reliability, I am dedicated to intentionally breeding, raising, and evaluating each puppy to support service, therapy, and exceptional companion homes.What makes your program special?
My program is built on a foundation of health, temperament, and intentional breeding. I am selective in choosing breeding pairs, prioritizing fully health-tested dogs that bring out the best in each other. My dogs are actively trained and titled, with several working as service and therapy dogs. I focus on producing Goldens that are not only beautiful, but stable, capable, and purpose-driven.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Brittany is an amazing trainer and breeder. We picked up Breezy last Sunday when she was 12 weeks old. Not only is she well trained already, she is so calm and attentive to our 18 month old son. She is so patient with him and she is easy to correct if she needs to change her behavior. I know that is due to her training with Brittani. We are so grateful to Brittani and her team for Breezy and her training and we would and have recommend Golden Retriever of South Carolina to anyone!!!
