Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
I was competing in dogs sports and decided to cobreed with Topmast Goldens to produce puppies that could excel in performance and be loving stable family dogs with looks, health and structure and great temperaments. Longevity was especially important to me bec of all the cancer in goldens.
What makes your program special?
All puppies are raised in our home with early neurological and scent stimulation and socialization following the Avidog Program. All puppies are seen by a cardiologist and ophthalmologist, wormed, first set of vaccines, microchipped and matched with each family. Our puppies will thrive in performance homes. They will not be happy being house pets with a large backyard or one walk a day. That is not enough
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.
