Richwood Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristin S., the breeder behind Richwood Golden Retrievers located in Morriston, FL. Richwood is a very small, select preservation breeding program. I have produced champions in 4 venues, and I'm an AKC bronze breeder of merit. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability.
Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
My family has owned Goldens since 1966. My foundation bitch was the 6th CH MH ** in breed history. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Golden Retriever.What makes your program special?
My foundation bitch is the leading producer of Dual Dog Hall of Fame offspring in breed history. She produced three litters of fifteen puppies and eight champions in four different venues. My program is small, and I am dedicated to always having responsible policies and promoting proper breeding practices.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
