Q. & A. with Ivy & David
Why did you start breeding?
Golden Retriever are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in and out of the show ring. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.What makes your program special?
The health and quality of my puppies are very important to me, and I make all of my breeding decisions accordingly. I prioritize health, temperament, and conformation to the standard, as well as a variety of other factors. It is always my goal to produce outstanding quality dogs, and all of my puppies make wonderful companions. We raise our puppies in our home using the Puppy Culture Program.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

I did an incredible amount of research before I found Ivy with Kc’s Golden Dream and I’m so blessed I did because she gave me my beautiful boy - Louie. Ivy has vast knowledge on the Golden breed and she is always there to answer any questions. She truly is the best of the best and breeds the most beautiful dogs!

We are beyond thrilled with our golden retriever puppy from Ivy Anderson. From our first inquiry to bringing our pup home, the experience was exceptional. Ivy listened to our preferences and helped us find the perfect, laid-back puppy that we were looking for. The care and attention given to the puppies are evident in their behavior and health. Our Buster is not only handsome but also remarkably calm and well-adjusted, just as we hoped for. We appreciated the breeder’s transparency, knowledge, and dedication to the well-being of their dogs. If you are looking for a reputable breeder who genuinely cares about matching families with the right puppy, look no further. We highly recommend Ivy and couldn't be happier with our pup.
