I'm Vanesa T., the breeder behind Honey Bee Goldens located in Gridley, CA. Our Golden Retriever pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!
