Meet the breeder
I'm Deborah T., the breeder behind Oakleaf Goldens located in Darlington County, SC. I am an ethical, home-based hobby breeder of high-quality Golden Retrievers. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond. I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Golden Retrievers and my involvement in the show world inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. My goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies, but to continue my phenomenal bloodlines and help ensure the future of the breed. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter so that my puppies get the best start in life. I take pride in what I do, and I strive for excellence!What makes your program special?
My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I look to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I do not produce a litter unless my dogs are fully healthy, happy, and excellent representations of their breed -- my involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
