Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding Golden Retrievers approximately 15 years ago for the love and welfare of bettering the breed. There is nothing more satisfying than raising a well-bred, healthy, socialized puppy for a family.What makes your program special?
We take careful measures in our program to ensure that all of our breeding dogs have that wonderful “Golden” temperament first, and foremost as well as their health clearances for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart so we can produce structurally sound, healthy, quality puppies. Nutrition and environmental factors are as important as genetics so we ensure our puppies are given the best start.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Golden Retriever
About Snugs
Snugs was imported from Alubyc Kennel in Australia at 12 weeks old. He is charming, sweet and gentle. He certainly lives up to his name. Snugs has a straight, very light coat. He has excellent bone and a gorgeous boxy head. We are absolutely crazy about this fun and very playful boy. He's always happy and wags his tail with his entire body. He has lived up to his name because he loves to snuggle. He likes to be covered up and prefers a pillow under his head. He thinks he is still a baby but in reality, he's a big ol' teddy bear. Snugs makes absolutely gorgeous babies with fun, outgoing personalities just like himself.
