Meet the breeder
I'm Gina H., the breeder behind Magnolia Country Hearts located in Spanaway, WA.

Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families!
Q. & A. with Gina
Why did you start breeding?
I decided one day that I wanted to be able to offer families a healthy and happy puppy just as I wanted. I started my journey on what I needed to do to prepare for the breeding life with goldens and here I am. I am bringing into the world only the happiest, well rounded and healthy babies for families all over.What makes your program special?
I work diligently with my pups from day one. I use different curriculums ( textures/balance/noise) to insure my pups have the best start off to life. I do ENS (Early Nurological Stimulation)/ESI (Early Scent Introduction)which helps them build their immune systems and helps them navigate any stressors that come their way, along with getting their sensors in their nose and brain working strongly.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
