Meet the breeder

I'm Salvador M., the breeder behind Nomadic Reds Golden Retrievers located in Ozark, AL. We offer gorgeous dark red Golden Retrievers! We do genetic, OFA testing.

Q. & A. with Salvador

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We immediately fell in love with Goldens. Everything about them has driven it to become a passion. It has also made it financially possible for my wife to stay home and homeschool our 4 children. Giving our kids the best childhood we can and involving them in the whole process has been a blessing. They get to experience the process with us and experience one of the beauties of life

  • What makes your program special?

    We test for any known diseases through DNA testing for both mom and dad to ensure puppy genetic health. Any dog we breed with will also be tested for OFA Hips, elbows, heart and eyes and must pass all. Puppy health and longevity is super important to us. Knowing that a puppy comes from a healthy background gives us and new owners peace of mind as they join their new family for a long life

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are dark golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    From the beginning, Salvador was incredibly helpful and made what could have been a stressful transition feel smooth and easy. That support made a huge difference those first few days. It didn’t take long to realize we got a good one. She’s extremely smart and already picking things up way faster than I expected which has been fun to watch. She’s also become my shadow; if I stand up, she’s up. If I move rooms, she’s right there. Personal space is officially gone. One of the best parts so far has been how quickly she bonded with my sister’s puppy. The two of them are completely inseparable and play nonstop. It’s basically controlled chaos… emphasis on the chaos. Her personality is exactly what I was hoping for. She loves chasing leaves (or anything that blows in the wind, really), carries sticks around like they’re trophies, is all in on tug of war, and spends her time sniffing every inch of the city like she’s on a recon mission. She also seems to believe every single person she sees is her new best friend, which has made walks take at least twice as long. It really feels like the breeder nailed the match. She fits exactly what I was looking for, and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s all turned out!

    We feel very lucky and blessed to have found our "Maggie" through Nomadic Reds! Salvador is a wonderful breeder to work with. He consistently shared updates and was very welcoming to questions which made us feel completely comfortable reaching out to him. Our first time getting a puppy through a breeder and honestly I was quite nervous. But finding a breeder like Salvador with Nomadic Reds made the whole process easy! Pick up day was exciting and a smooth process. Salvador is well organized and had everything all ready for us when we picked up our Maggie. I could not be happier with the whole process!

    Our little girl is 14 weeks old now, and from the first inquiry message on Good Dog, Salvador was quick to respond and answer any questions we have! He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the breed. We really appreciated that he took the time to chat with us about what we were looking for in a dog, and match us to the dog he thought would be the best fit for us! We wanted a dog that we could train to hunt with us, but still would be a good family dog too. Sal tested for bird drive amongst other traits and so far she is doing great with the training we’ve done. Pickup went smoothly, Sal provided us with a go-home bag with wood chips for potty training, her AKC and vet paperwork, littermate scented blanket, food, bully stick, and more to help us transition her into our home. We absolutely love our Honey, and are so grateful for all Sal did to help us welcome her into our home! For more pics of Honey, her Instagram is @golden.tupelo.honey ❤️

    I had the best experience with Salvador and Nomadic Reds. From the first inquiry i had to all the follow up questions Salvador was prompt and responsive. Salvador and his family are amazing. Since we were flying in to pick up our girl, they met us in a easy location. Salvador's Made sure to follow up and check in after we took our girl Cora home. He very thoughtful on how she was settling in, how she was adapting, and gave great advice on training. We absolutely plan on getting another Golden from Salvador when the next litter comes in the summer. I can not say enough about the quality of Breeding. I get compliments all the time from our professional trainer, sport dog enthusiasts alike. They all compliment us on her build, her coat, and how trainable and quickly she learns. Good Dog made the transaction smooth, safe and easy.
