Meet the breeder
I'm Janet D., the breeder behind Goldstone Russian Toys located in Athens, TX. It was love at first sight with these little dogs! I just adore each of my dogs and love sharing their puppies with others! I've been training and living with dogs my whole life. In my 60's I decided to get my first show dog, and have been hooked ever since! My dogs are my pride and joy and breeding them has proven to be a true passion.
Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
With my first show dog I had amazing success. He was the #2 RT in the US. Many people wanted to use him for breeding so it was natural that I try my hand at breeding also!What makes your program special?
My dogs live with us. They sleep in our bed. They are the main focus of our house. Puppies are handled and socialized daily from the very beginning. Our goal is to produce well balanced, stable, loving dogs both for the show ring and for your household. All adults and puppies are Embark tested and have full health reports.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan and red sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
