Haven Acre Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Missy H., the breeder behind Haven Acre Goldens located in Prineville, OR. I’m passionate about Golden Retrievers and am excited to responsibly share them with the world! I offer top-quality, loving pups that have been bred for their excellent temperament and health. It is one of my life goals to breed Goldens that make exceptional service and therapy dogs, in addition to being wonderful companions.
Q. & A. with Missy
Why did you start breeding?
My severely autistic son died of seizure complications at the age of 9 when his Golden Retriever, Haven, was only 11 months old. Because I couldn't afford a fully trained and raised autism therapy dog, I wanted to try and do it myself, but didn't get that opportunity. My goal in life has been to provide this opportunity for other families in the hopes that they can raise and train loving dogs used for comfort and therapy.What makes your program special?
In order for my puppies to have the best lives possible, I will not breed dogs until they have had all of the necessary health and temperament testing done. I'm striving for the best for my dogs and their families, and that shows in all of the steps I take during the breeding process. I give each puppy lots of love and socialization from the very beginning of their life until they leave to their forever homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
