Julie E.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Julie E., the breeder behind Goldnmine Kennels located in Kirkwood, PA. Our dogs have enriched our lives in ways we never imagined, and we are so happy to be able to share the wonderful qualities of the breed with others. Owning a Golden Retriever is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.

Q. & A. with Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After many years of grooming, and Goldens always making me smile, we decided to add one to our family. Since adding Heidi to our family, and knowing the joy she brings us, we knew we wanted to share joy with others.
  • What makes your program special?

    To me what makes my breeding program special is each and every puppy we bring into this world are as important and special to me as if they stayed with us forever. I put every effort into producing sound, healthy, well socialized puppies that grow into outstanding dogs.
  • 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.
