I'm Kaylah, the breeder behind Interlock Goldens located in Fieldale, VA. We breed to the AKC standard in hopes to maintain a purpose bred dog. Our dogs are screened for a multitude of inheritable diseases before being considered for breeding and are only paired with mates that compliment and improve upon them individually.
Q. & A. with Kaylah
What makes your program special?
Our focus is not to produce dogs specifically for conformation or sports but a combination of both. We desire to create dogs that are more functional and stable than either extreme that can be found in the breed. Our dogs do best in active homes who like to engage with their pets through physically and mentally stimulating activities.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
