Meet the breeder
I'm Sara M., the breeder behind God Given Goldens located in Deer Park, WA. We have the privilege and opportunity to make a great impact on each individual puppy. We want the best for our puppies and their families. Our goal is to produce healthy, happy, confident puppies that transition well to their forever homes. .
Q. & A. with Sara
Why did you start breeding?
Once we moved into a larger home with acreage, we were finally able to purchase our first Golden and fell in LOVE. Sara spent the next couple of years researching common health issues, proper health testing, attending dog training classes, studying pedigrees and the importance of laying foundations. We decided as a family we were ready to make the commitment to raising healthy, sound puppies.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are family raised using Puppy Culture protocols in the center of our home - in a clean, loving environment. Each puppy is exposed to new sounds and experiences, introduced to crates, litterbox trained, play puppy games, work on resource guarding and many other important foundations. We make puppy selections based on each family's need and lifestyle. We are big on communication.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Excellent communication throughout the process and best of all, Sarah delivered an amazing pup. Healthy with such a great temperament. He arrived with great manners, able to sit stay and wait at the door before going out, nearly potty trained, and so well socialized. A beautiful pup that has already become a family member.

Was an amazing experience, they take raising puppies very seriously and go the extra mile to make sure they are ready to be taken home with the basics down! Very easy to work with and make it a personal experience when they are ready to part with their babies. Would recommend highly!
