Q. & A. with Cory
Why did you start breeding?
Our family Loves goldens and want to spread healthy well adjusted dogs to other loving families. Goldens hold a special place in our hearts 💕
What makes your program special?
All puppies are carefully monitored around the clock and raised in my private home. They are exposed to structured socialization, introduced to potty training and collar acclimation, and exposed to various indoor and outdoor stimuli to support advanced learning and development.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 23 Jan. •
The puppies are now over two weeks old and have begun opening their eyes. Their ears are also starting to open, allowing them to become more aware of their surroundings. They are discovering their voices and have started walking on all fours. Although a bit wobbly and unsteady, they are moving around remarkably well.

Verified owner · Nov. 2025
Judy was so kind and flexible. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience seamless! She loves what she does and her love for the puppies certainly shows! She explained everything required for paperwork, transition of ownership etc. I will say, it’s noticeable how much work she put into the puppies early on to give them a solid start! I highly recommend!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
