I'm Chris and Polly W., the breeder behind PC Goldens located in Pleasant Grove, UT. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Golden Retriever breeders. We are home-based breeders dedicated to bringing healthy, high-quality dogs into their forever families' homes and hearts. We love our dogs and are passionate about providing you with the best puppy possible.
Q. & A. with Chris and Polly
Why did you start breeding?
We have had eight Golden Retrievers in our lives, and feel they are the best family dog. As Chris' retirement came near we decided to expand our love of Goldens through breeding. We are passionate about only breeding genetically clear, OFA-tested Golden Retrievers and have loved learning with each of our litters.
What makes your program special?
We perform Early Neurological Stimulation. Our puppies are highly socialized and loved by grandkids, nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends. They go on many car rides and are exposed to different dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs. They have begun potty, leash, and halter training. Our puppies have also begun crate and kennel training.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
