Goldens of the Meadows
Meet the breeder
I'm Phyllis L., the breeder behind Goldens of the Meadows located in Plymouth County, MA. Our dogs are our pets and our puppies only go to approved homes. We are looking to provide happy and healthy Golden Retriever puppies from health tested parents to loving and caring homes.
Q. & A. with Phyllis
Why did you start breeding?
We had friends who told us that we should breed our beautiful American Golden. We also did not approve of the circumstances that girl Dakota came from. So we thought that we could breed puppies and raise them in our home. After we found that our girl had mild hip dysplasia, we spayed her. Then we sought out another female. We found our English Cream girl, Montana.What makes your program special?
It's special because all of our puppies are raised in our home with our other dogs. Also, I take applications from prospective buyer buyers and screen them. We have never sent one of our puppies into a situation that we were not comfortable with. I have certain rules and guidelines that I am very strict about. If a family does not agree with it, then they are not the right fit for "us".Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
