Meet the breeder

I'm Bonnie W., the breeder behind Golden W Kennels located in Attica, NY. I have been breeding for over 40 years. I care deeply about the well-being of my dogs and want them to thrive in the world. It is very important to me that I send my puppies to loving homes. I expect my buyers to come and meet me and the puppies in person. This way I can explain to them how I utilize Puppy Culture for the benefit of the dog.
