Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie V., the breeder behind Maple Ridge Goldens located in Newfield, NY. We breed 1-3 litters of Golden Retrievers in our home each year. Our dogs will fit best into active pet, sport or hunting homes. Each parent we select is fully health tested and titled, and we provide early stimulation, socialization and training for every litter before puppies go home.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
I have dreamed of breeding dogs since I was a child, and waited until I found the right dog to start my program with! When I got my Golden Retriever Harper in 2021, I was so impressed with her temperament and biddability that I decided she was going to be the foundation of my program.What makes your program special?
We are small program that whelps and raises each litter within our home. We are able to give each puppy individualized attention, socialization and training during their first 8 weeks of life! We do ENS and ESI in the first two weeks of our puppies’ lives, and also work on house and crate training later in, as they get closer to going to their new homes, to make their new families’ lives easier!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Whiskey, mom
Golden Retriever
About Whiskey
Whiskey is 3 years old, and this litter will be her first. She has completed all health testing, including Hip and Elbow OFAs, passing cardiac and eye exams with OFA, and a full genetic panel. Whiskey is titled in multiple sports, and is so much fun at home with her sweet, mild mannered temperament and silly personality. Whiskey is friendly with people and other animals, and has a great off switch in the house with appropriate amounts of exercise. We are so excited to see how Whiskey is as a mother, and what her future puppies are like, and we are so excited to welcome them!

Golden Retriever
About Harper
Harper is the inspiration for our breeding program, our first dog who had the potential for us to make this leap! Harper joined our family in April of 2021, and she has been a fantastic addition since the day we brought her home. Harper has so many wonderful qualities that we want to see in future puppies, and has sold us on the all that the Golden Retriever breed has to offer! She is sweet, happy, easy to train, full of energy but also loves to calm down and snuggle with "her" kids. Harper is a "drivey" dog who loves to work and play in the multiple sports she competes in, but she also has a fantastic "off switch", making her the perfect companion in sports and at home! Harper has proven to be an excellent mother, being extremely gentle and attentive with both litters that she has had so far. I've been extremely happy with both the structure and temperament that she has produced and am excited for this planned litter!
