I'm Konrad M., the breeder behind Golden Acres LLC located in Magnolia, TX. We have carefully selected to breed dogs that have a long family line of field experience. The sire and dam are both in excellent health, and have passed their clearances. They both are intelligent and attentive in the field and remarkably tolerant in the home- they are toddler approved!
Q. & A. with Konrad
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to get into breeding since our girl, Heidi, has such an amazing bloodline and has proven to be an excellent companion in the field and home. We train dogs. People kept bringing their dogs to us, hoping we could train them to be attentive in the field. None of the dogs that were brought to us had a lick of sense or drive when it came to the field.
What makes your program special?
We have carefully chosen dogs with an extensive family tree in hunting and field. Our female is raised and cared for in our home. The puppies are whelped in our home.
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.
