I'm Suelin L., the breeder behind Golden Heart Creams located in Columbus, NC. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth.

We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
Q. & A. with Suelin
Why did you start breeding?
My breeding program was born with much purpose and desire! I knew after pet sitting there was something more I wanted to contribute to this crazy world. I received a vision of furry white beings ascending down to help uplift humanity. Before each litter I pray and hold the intention that every pup that comes in through us will be a huge part in shedding more love into the world.
What makes your program special?
We start working with our pups at 3 days old with ENS and ESI. As they grow we have an enrichment program that encompasses desensitization with different sights and sounds. We expose them to all kinds of activates in our home as well as introduce them to all aged people. It is our desire that some of our pups become service or therapy dogs so we evaluate them so they can all find the best fit.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I recently got the sweetest puppy from Golden Heart Creams, and it was such an easy and pleasant experience! Suelin was super helpful, answered all my questions right away, and made the process really easy.
It is clear they really care about their dogs. They are in a lovely environment and there is an attention to detail in how the mothers and puppies are cared for that shows that this is a “labor of love”.
I was also impressed with how socialized and comfortable with people my puppy was when I received him. He is such a sweet boy and I am so grateful for Suelin and Golden Heart Creams.
