I'm Jennifer D., the breeder behind HiCountry Goldens located in Windsor, CO. I'm proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies I raise for other families to love! The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.
I am open to flying a puppy to you for the price of the plane ticket and pet fee, no other fees needed! :) Also, for families local to the Colorado front range, I am also a pet sitter and will pet sit your puppy for a reduced amount, that is locked in for life!
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding after about 15 years in the breed. I had studied various lines and wanted to include those lines into my own. Breeding with care for length of life, temperament and structure.
What makes your program special?
I believe it is the amount of heart I put into my puppies. They are temperament tested, structurally evaluated and well socialized. They are ready to become your best friend and more!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
