I'm Cynthia H., the breeder behind Golden Kisses Golden Retrievers located in Kuna, ID. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. I have been blessed with some great clients and have several families come back for another Golden. Our pups are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with puppies that we know will bring them the same joy! I love their unique personalities. I prefer to keep in touch with families after their adoption.
Q. & A. with Cynthia
Why did you start breeding?
I used to breed Arabian horses, and I just naturally had an interest in breeding Goldens.
What makes your program special?
I have have maintained ownership of every dog I have bred and kept them their entire lives. What sets me apart from other breeders is I know my dogs and longevity very well. I have a dog in the Morris Animal Foundation Cancer Study. I am the only breeder from Idaho participating in this study.
I do have family and friends in Montana, Nevada, California, and Oregon. We are more than happy to help transport your puppy if need be.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
