I'm Joseph W., the breeder behind Goldmine Retrievers ( 6 male pups available 7-9-23) located in Winnsboro, LA. I breed healthy, happy, working, performance Golden Retrievers. I make sure my dogs are capable of doing what they were made to do. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I want my dogs to go to homes where they will be loved and will live an active lifestyle.
