Q. & A. with Patrece
Why did you start breeding?
Many years ago we became the proud parents of a beautiful Black Lab named Maggie! Through Maggie, we were introduce into the wonderful world of bloodlines and breeding. But when our four children were born, breeding had to be put on hold. Fast forward to 2008, and into our lives came Max, the most beautiful and wonderful Golden Retriever ever! And through Max, we rediscovered our passion!
What makes your program special?
We are a very small exclusive breeder by design. We are very intentional with every detail of our program. Our breeding dogs have all OFA and genetic screenings recommended by AKC and we only work with breeders and do the same. And our puppies are raised in our home under our care, attention and with all the love of our family. We love working with our families and encourage visits with the pups!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
