Q. & A. with Olga
Why did you start breeding?
My own breeder with over 30 years experience saw potential in me and my dogs; she taught me all of the steps necessary to raise healthy dogs, to show and train them. In the summer of 2020 a young promising female joined my family & has matured into a wonderful healthy Golden Retriever who passed all of her OFA clearances. She has amazing temperament, functionality of everything Golden can offerWhat makes your program special?
I focus on temperament, health, and functionality. My dogs are raised with a focus on humans to become well rounded companions and family members, travel and hiking buddies, emotional support and therapy dogs. There isn't a job that my Golden Retrievers can not do. Owning one of my well bred puppies will be a very rewarding and positive lifestyle. Thank you for visiting my page.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
