Meet the breeder
I'm Judy I., the breeder behind Promise Kennels located in Sanger, CA. In addition to dogs shown in conformation, we have many therapy dogs and service dogs including a search and rescue dog. Our focus is temperament, health, structure, and longevity. We raise all of our dogs with love in our home. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality. Recently relocated to East Texas!
Q. & A. with Judy
Why did you start breeding?
Over 30 years ago I got my husband a Springer Spaniel puppy. He took her turkey hunting and she was fabulous. We bred her to train another Springer to hunt. One of our daughters showed the pup in 4H receiving HIT and qualifying to go to California State Fair. In addition to obedience, there was a conformation show. She decided at that time she wanted “a real show dog.” The rest is history!What makes your program special?
Our focus is on longevity, health, and temperament. I may see a dog I like, but if longevity isn’t in the vertical pedigree, I cross him off my “PAWsability” list. Most of our puppies are placed as pet/companion puppies. We breed all-around Goldens that can be many things, depending on what their families need and the training they receive. We take pride in our program and in helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
