I'm Bailey M., the breeder behind Salty Goldens located in Florida. We are a family-based breeder of health-tested, quality puppies. We practice a 'no kennel' policy and truly love each of our dogs. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies.
Q. & A. with Bailey
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first male when I was 18 years old when I went off to college. I had no intentions of breeding him but someone came up to me when he was about 3 wanting to use him as a stud and that is how the whole process began.
What makes your program special?
We put a lot of time and energy into raising our puppies. We use the Puppy Culture Method, we socialize all of our puppies before they go home, we take them on trips to the beach, Home Depot, schools etc. We have a passion for bettering the breed and providing healthy puppies for families all over the country.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
