I'm Mandy C., the breeder behind MC Goldens located in Myakka City, FL. I breed Golden Retrievers that come from a loving, healthy environment. Our dogs live with us at home and are very socialized. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Mandy
Why did you start breeding?
My Aunt Debbie Hughes, who is also on this site, which is a hobby breeder and our female Piper came from one of her girls (Emmie). We both share a passion for the love of the Golden Retrievers. Goldens are so loving and being able to share their love brings me so much joy to world!
What makes your program special?
Our sire and dams live with us at home. We raise them around our family and farm animals.
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.
