I'm Dianne E., the breeder behind Mountain Bay Goldens located in Lake Placid, NY. We offer top-quality dogs that are bred for health, longevity, conformation, and temperament. We truly love what we do at MBG. The puppies are raised in the home and are well socialized. We breed only one litter per year, and we are excited to have the privilege of sharing our lovely puppies with the world.
Q. & A. with Dianne
Why did you start breeding?
Once we had a Grand Champion Golden Retriever, we wanted to preserve her legacy and do our part to improve the breed. Hence we began breeding top-quality Golden Retrievers. Each of our puppies is well cared for and shown lots of love before sending them home with their new owners.
What makes your program special?
We are very selective about our breeding dogs. All of our dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. The health and temperament of our puppies are our number one priority. We are very conscious about who purchases our puppies, always ensuring that they are given the best life possible. We can't wait to send you home with your next Golden Retriever!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
