Personalized Dog Training - Windisch Goldens

Martha A. W.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

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.
