Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
Our family has been involved with Goldens since 1989. Our family has competed in Obedience, Conformation, and Rally for the past 20 years.
What makes your program special?
Golden Retrievers from Harvestime Kennel are bred from top show and performance lines. Our pedigrees are 75% Champion and 100% Kennel Lines. Our top quality pups come from years of knowledgeable breeders breeding Golden Retrievers that should be bred. We are a recognized AKC Breeder of Merit and are active in many clubs.
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 and guardian homes.
