Q. & A. with Beth
Why did you start breeding?
We love the Golden Retriever breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too!
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 have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
