Honey Bee Goldens
Meet the breeder
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!
Q. & A. with Vanesa
Why did you start breeding?
Ever since I had first gotten Evie and realized how much her existence brought joy and happiness to everyone around her, I knew that bringing healthy and happy Golden puppies into the world was something that I would love to do. After going through the hurdles of scammers and false advertising, I decided that I would be the breeder to be upfront, honest, and trustworthy to future puppy parents!What makes your program special?
Our dogs are not just breeding stock to keep in a kennel for profit. Our dogs are FAMILY, we bring them everywhere with us. As I mentioned before, my commitment to creating the most fulfilling life for them, while keeping them happy and healthy is my biggest priority. We extensively vet through potential puppy families to find the best fit for our puppies, making their safety the biggest priorityWhere do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
