Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter has bred Golden Retrievers for a number of years and we decided to help each other. I have a great love for my dogs and want to be part of bringing the joy of a dog into a home.What makes your program special?
I raise one litter at a time, allowing me to give each puppy individual attention. Puppies are raised in my home as part of everyday family life and follow a daily enrichment and socialization curriculum, including ENS and ESI. They experience people of different ages, other dogs, sounds, surfaces, and new experiences, helping them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
