Meet the breeder
I'm Linda B., the breeder behind Kisamore Goldens located in Anne Arundel County, MD. I breed healthy dogs, strongly representing the breed standard combined with careful research to reduce the risks of hereditary conditions. I have educated myself to ensure my dogs are healthy. I want to do my part to better the breed and provide families with a healthy, well-socialized pup!
Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter became active in 4H with her Golden Retriever. As an educator, I naturally wanted to learn and soon became involved in dog clubs and the dog show world. I realized I had a passion and love for this precious breed and wanted to do my part in preserving the best in temperament and health for the future.What makes your program special?
Healthy dogs, representing the breed standard: capable of being brought into the show ring, the obedience ring and the field. We believe that this all-around balanced breeding program not only best serves the breed but also produces the best traits for the companion/family dog. A willingness to please, intelligent, longevity and patience are traits that we are seeking to preserve.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
