Meet the breeder
I'm Cheryl M., the breeder behind Hearthrob Goldens located in Palmyra, MO. We have been in Goldens since 1996 and have a genuine love for the breed. We can't think of a better breed to share your life with. I breed quality dogs only. I believe it’s good to have a nice behaving and looking dog to live with. Puppy people become part of our extended family.
Q. & A. with Cheryl
Why did you start breeding?
I owned Goldens for over 10 years before I decided to breed. I didn’t take this decision lightly. But I believe everyone should have the opportunity to have a beautiful, wonderful companion if they want one.What makes your program special?
I pour my heart and soul into each litter I have. They are in our home with us until they go to their forever families home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
