Mia Ragazza Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Maranda B., the breeder behind Mia Ragazza Golden Retrievers located in Delmar, DE. We breed high-quality puppies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. Matching each family with the right puppy is the key to our success and yours. We are honored to bring another member of the family into your life!
Q. & A. with Maranda
Why did you start breeding?
Within the first year of Vayda’s life I had so many people ask if I would ever consider breeding her. I health and genetic tested and found a stud that I thought would be the perfect match for her and made sure he also had health/genetic testing done. I reached out to those that were interested and started a list of approved homes.What makes your program special?
I strive to provide healthy, adaptable, biddable, loving companions that show promise for service work, sports, therapy, and excellent family pets. I love the whelping and puppy raising process, I look forward to handling puppies for ENS (early neurological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction), getting to learn their little personalities and matching them with the best home for them.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
