Meet the breeder
I'm Freddie & Shellie G., the breeder behind Rooster Valley Golden Retrievers located in Modesto, CA. It is our goal to raise puppies that adjust easily to their new homes and are socialized with children and other animals.
Q. & A. with Freddie & Shellie
Why did you start breeding?
We had been involved with breeding for several years before we started our own program. We had the privilege of whelping litters of Labrador puppies and raising them before we began our journey of breeding. The first litter that we whelped, we knew that this was our calling and being able to help provide wonderful family pets to people was something we wanted to start doing on our own.What makes your program special?
First and foremost we do not have our dogs kenneled all day. We are not a large puppy mill and want the dogs to have a loving family that can spend quality time with them. This is why we opted to have our females live in guardian homes. Additionally, we want all of our dogs to be health tested for OFA hips, elbows, heart, thyroid and eyes. We want to make sure every puppy finds a loving and forever home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
