Q. & A. with Doug & Sue
Why did you start breeding?
We enjoy the breed so much. We did a lot of research and two of our goldens are in the Morris Animal Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. In looking at breeding we consulted other breeders around the country before we decided to get into breeding. It is a commitment learning and educating about science, genetics and structure.What makes your program special?
We are always working to improve our breeding program. We do that by attending seminars in person or online. We also stay up to date on any issues that might be occurring in the bred.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
