Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with labrador retrievers & have always had a deep love for dogs! I got my first golden retriever, Huckaby, in 2013. My bond with him, along with the unconditional love & immense joy he’s brought to my family, is what sparked my desire to share this amazing breed with others. In addition to health, we breed for the calm, loving temperament, with therapy & service dogs in our lines.What makes your program special?
I keep my breeding program small & very selective, because I only want to breed the very best temperaments & the healthiest dogs. We begin Early Neurological Stimulation at 3 days old, focusing on early socialization & problem prevention, giving each & every puppy endless individualized love & affection. My goal is to provide new families with the most well-rounded, loving puppy they’ve ever had!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
