Q. & A. with Jennifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our passion is changing lives one match at a time. The right dog matched with the right person is a beautiful relationship that enriches one's life in a powerful way. Our love for raising puppies came from personal stories, one after another of how dog's impact lives. We are honored to be part of 'your story' by providing our clients with health-tested, temperament-chosen, loving companions.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are 'all in' when it comes to raising puppies. We are committed to excellent care for our adult dogs, researching and selecting the perfect stud to complement our female. Health and temperament are equal top priorities, and we work hard at early stimulation and training techniques to ensure a well-adjusted confident puppy.

    Verified owner · Jan. 2025

    Lewis Goldens' owner, Jennifer, was so helpful when we adopted Bella (aka Juicy). She reassured us by providing information that we requested directly from their veterinarian. She was forthcoming with many sources of information about the breed, their dogs, and prior litters from their kennel. Most importantly, Jennifer and her family showed us the love and care they held for each offspring puppy.
