Crystal F.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal F., the breeder behind Grayley's Goldens located in Neosho, MO. We're new breeders starting a small program. We hope to help provide families with quality puppies as we continue to learn & grow! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!

Q. & A. with Crystal

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've loved goldens since I was a little kid and always dreamed of having one of my own. That dream came true 7 years ago, after having one I fell more in love with the breed and started doing lots of research on breeding and how to do so responsibly. We offer lifetime breeder support, we can start basic obedience training, we will dogsit while you're on vacation. We love seeing our babies again.
  • What makes your program special?

    Here at Grayley's Goldens we are passionate about golden retrievers and we are always looking for ways to improve our program. We understand that dogs are more than just a pet, they're family, and we love and treat them like family. Puppies are handled and shown love from day one. They are raised indoors under close supervision. We give regular updates on progress of your puppies until go home day
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Grayley's Goldens reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Golden Retrievers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 5 (NCL5), Golden Retriever Type, Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type 1, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), PRA, Golden Retriever 2, PRA, Golden Retriever 1

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
