I'm Amanda R., the breeder behind Rose Gold Retrievers located in Morris Plains, NJ. Rose Gold Retrievers is a small working Labrador breeding program in NJ.

Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve spent most of my career raising and training high-drive working dogs, starting with imported German Shepherds and eventually gravitating toward Labradors for their unmatched grit, resilience, and adaptable personalities. Over the years, I've found the Labrador to be uniquely suited for real-world working applications without compromising their trainability or social flexibility.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
