Q. & A. with Cindy and Mark
Why did you start breeding?
Cindy had been breeding Golden Retrievers for years when she fell in love with her first MAS, a beautiful girl named Delta, and she's been hooked ever since!
What makes your program special?
We carefully plan each breeding to ensure proper temperament, structure and trainability. All our dogs are health tested and we provide a two year health guarantee. Our Puppy Culture program provides us with a guideline for raising the puppies that includes noise sensitivity training, early neurological stimulation, clicker training and much, much more!!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
