Q. & A. with Mike/Ingrid
Why did you start breeding?
Lakeside Golden Retrievers was born from a deep love and respect for the Golden Retriever breed. Our first Golden, Mojo, lived up to every expectation our family had and then some. He ignited the desire to be a part of bringing healthy, smart, calm, and gentle Goldens into the homes and hearts of other families.What makes your program special?
We are working towards this goal of providing healthy, smart, and calm Goldens with respect to quality breeding practices. This means both Dam and Sire will have gone through extensive genetic testing to reduce genetically inherited diseases that commonly affect the Golden Retriever breed. This also means that both Dam and Sire will have undergone the 4 key health screenings recommended by the GRCA. All results from genetic testing and health screenings will be publicly available through the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) website.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
