Meet the breeder

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.
