Personalized Dog Training - Windisch Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Martha A. W., the breeder behind Personalized Dog Training - Windisch Goldens located in Chatsworth, NJ. I work to breed Goldens that are healthy and of good temperament, do well in hunt tests, and are good as household companion dogs. I do everything I can to better the breed and ensure my dogs and puppies are able to get the very most out of life.
Q. & A. with Martha A.
Why did you start breeding?
After starting to show my first Golden, Tawny, in obedience, I also became interested in other dog sports including hunt tests and tracking. I even attended an agility class back in the late 1980s before agility was an AKC sport. I was a founding member of NJPBGRC and that is where I first learned about breeding. I was mentored by the founder of the club Kathy Uhrman, Bridlewold Kennels.What makes your program special?
Honestly, I’m not sure it’s all that special. There are a lot of good golden breeders who are members of GRCA who are working to preserve the form, function, and health of our beloved breed and many of them have a way larger impact than me who rarely breeds. That said, my breeding program is special to those who have purchased pups from me, and as a CPDT-KA, I do provide them free training advice.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Martha A.
Martha A. has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Martha A. partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
"I take great care in placing each puppy in the right home with the right family. Puppies are matched around 7 or 8 weeks of age when I do an evaluation of their temperaments, energy levels and personalities. Depending upon your puppy pick number you may or may not have several puppies to choose from; this depends on whether I have more than one puppy available that I believe to be suitable for you. I do not solely place puppies on appearance or color because that has no meaning as far as suitably to fit in with you and your family’s lifestyle and expectations. When I evaluate and puppy test the litter, there is no one best “pick puppy” - different puppies can be picks based on what each person or family expects to do with their pup and based on each person’s or family’s lifestyle. My goal is for you to end up with a suitable puppy. That said, my pups are field-line Goldens so if you are expecting a marshmallow-type dog to sit around and do nothing, my breeding will most likely not meet your expectations; these lines of Goldens need activity combined with use of their brains to keep them satisfied and to not become problematic due to excess energy and use of their mental abilities for the wrong purposes. Also, with these lines of Goldens, I highly recommend attending training classes and finding a dog sport such as Nose Work/Scent Work or some other sport or activity that you and your dog will enjoy. "
Price
"Price may vary depending on the litter. For example, a frozen semen litter or even a fresh semen transcervical breeding done by a reproductive veterinarian would be more pricey because it costs more to do the breeding. Price: a frozen semen litter, or other veterinary-assisted breeding is more pricey based on my expenses. Deposits are non-refundable unless I don’t have a pup available from the litter you applied."
Contract & health guarantee
Martha A. may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.
