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?
