Meet the breeder
I'm Ashley W., the breeder behind Mayflower Goldens located in Plymouth, MA. Our Goldens are bred for temperament, health and confirmation. The perfect pup to me is the perfect family dog. These babies are raised inside my home alongside my 3 small children, old Great Dane, cats, chickens and turkeys. They will be very well loved, socialized and beginning training.
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
I used to breed Great Danes when I had trouble finding a breeder who didn’t just stick two dogs together. I found a passion for helping people find a health tested, quality puppy to love. As my family grew and changed so didn’t our dogs. I missed breeding, the health testing, the connecting with families so set out to find a phenomenal golden puppy to begin the journey all over again.What makes your program special?
I think the family connections make my program special. This is your dog. You miss your puppy? Let’s FaceTime! Your puppy is doing something cute or silly? I’m texting you a video or picture! I want you to bond before they even go home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Ailsa
Ailsa, aka Elsie is the absolute sweetest dog I’ve had the pleasure of owning. Her gentle disposition makes her a wonderful family dog. Not only does she live with 3 small children, she also comes to work with me at a preschool. She is very calm. Not a high energy dog at all. Just loves to be brushed, pet and be near her people. Elsie has blossomed into an incredible mother. I can’t say enough great things about her wonderful disposition and dedication to her babies. Elsie is ofa health tested in hips, elbows eyes and heart as well as embark genetic tested.
