Meet the breeder

I'm Brittani E., the breeder behind Glimmer Goldens located in Duncan, SC. Professional dog trainer focused on purpose-bred Golden Retrievers from fully health-tested, titled parents. Raised with Puppy Culture and ENS to produce confident, stable dogs for service, therapy, and companion homes. I’m happy to guide families through the process to ensure the best match.

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.

    Working with Brittani was an amazing experience from start to finish...although she continues to provide support, so I guess we aren't finished yet! She responded quickly to my application and set up a phone interview so that we could learn more about each other. She explained her philosophy and process in detail and welcomed my questions. After our application was accepted she sent regular puppy updates with lots of pictures so that we could see how the puppies were progressing and start bonding with them. Brittani also shared information and pictures of the puppies' parents and updated us on their accomplishments and health. Pick up day was a breeze. Brittani met with each family individually, orienting them to their puppy and making sure that everyone was comfortable. She sent us home with a starter pack containing lots of helpful information and items for the transition. Brittani clearly takes pride in breeding dogs to produce high-quality offspring that will be excellent family members! Adding Bear to our family has been wonderful. He is a handsome, confident pup who has already enriched our lives. The care and thought that Brittani put into puppy raising is clear. Bear meets every new person as if they are an old friend. He is well adjusted and up for any experience. We haven't found anything yet that he's afraid of. We feel so lucky to have found Brittani and Bear and couldn't recommend Glimmer Goldens more strongly.

    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!!!
