    Candra was amazing to work with in getting our dog! My partner and I had so many questions about the process and she was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Pick up was smooth and we are so happy with our little guy!

    Candra was amazing to work with! She was always so quick to respond and easy to coordinate with! We are lucky enough to live within a reasonable driving distance and were able to visit the pups around 5 weeks and pick out our sweet pup, Brooks! When we picked him up, Candra had all of his papers and vaccine info organized which made his first vet visit a breeze. Brooks is the sweetest little guy growing faster than we can blink and is so smart! It is very clear that he came from a loving home and this has made the transition into our home seamless. I cannot recommend Golden Breed more!

    Candra was incredibly responsive and very accommodating with the drop off of our little guy! Our dog could not be any more precious and I would highly recommended Candra and her future puppies!

    My wife and I just got our pup from Candra, and we couldn't be happier. She was very responsive to our questions, and the puppy is a healthy, loveable bundle of energy. I absolutely recommend her.

    Haley E.

    Verified owner · Mar. 2025

    Candra was very responsive and helpful every step of the way. I was previously duped by an illegitimate breeder and was very apprehensive to start the process over, then I found good dog and Candra! It’s a trustworthy process and Candra was just a dream boat to work with. Highly recommend reserving a fur baby from their next litter! Even home with our fur baby now you can tell how loved he was!

    My husband and I were tired of having the house be so quiet when one of us was working. We always knew we wanted a golden retriever. I fell across Candra’s profile and found our perfect match. Candra communicated so well throughout the process and even kept in touch after we had picked up our puppy from her! Our boy has been such a blessing. It’s such a great feeling knowing the love we are giving him is being reciprocated.
