I'm Natalie R., the breeder behind Robinson Goldens located in Lynchburg, VA. Our dogs have been bred to be as healthy as possible and to be a loving addition to other families. We have taken great care and pride in these sweet puppies. They have been well-loved and have had lots of socialization with children. Both parents have OFA certifications and great temperaments.
Q. & A. with Natalie
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding for the love of Golden Retrievers. We have seen a decline in pure Goldens in our area with great pedigree and health certifications.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because this is our only litter that we have, so we have been able to give them 100% of our attention. These puppies have been cared for since day in our home. They are used to playing and snuggling with adults and children. Both parents have health clearances and have loving temperaments.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Robinson Goldens reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Golden Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
PRA, Golden Retriever 1, DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
