Why did you start breeding?
Raising goldens is my passion, and a dream come true. I am honored to produce top of the line goldens with excellent health and temperaments.

As first-time dog owners, we were initially nervous about the journey ahead—but Catherine and Good Dog made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Catherine was incredibly friendly, responsive, and kept us regularly updated with photos and videos of our pup. Catherine also went above and beyond by proactively sharing helpful tips and guidance to get us started on the right foot. Thanks to her support and the wonderful pup she raised, we now have Leo—a sweet, playful ball of fur—who has already become an irreplaceable part of our family. We truly can’t imagine our days without him!

Catherine was amazing throughout the whole process of getting Goose. As the breeder, she made everything easy and stress-free, giving us tons of helpful tips about his personality, care, and what to expect when bringing him home. You could really tell how much she loves her dogs by how sweet, playful, and well-socialized Goose was right from the start. She made us feel comfortable asking any questions, big or small, and we knew we picked the best breeder possible. Thanks to Catherine, Goose has been the perfect addition to our family, and we couldn’t be happier!
