Meet the breeder
I'm Margaret Z., the breeder behind Sporting Ridge K9’s located in Decatur, IN.

From the moment a puppy is conceived, we prioritize providing the optimal start in life. This encompasses meticulous health care and socialization for each pup, beginning even before birth. We lay the foundation for success by thoughtfully selecting the parents for each litter, considering factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our objective is to breed well-rounded puppies and match them with caring, accountable families. ~Margaret.

+5We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Margaret at Golden Bundles! From the very beginning, she was kind, responsive, and truly passionate about her dogs. You can tell she puts her heart into raising these puppies, they’re healthy, well-socialized, and so full of love. Our English Golden Retriever Wrigley, has been an absolute joy. He’s gentle, playful, and incredibly smart, everything we hoped for and more! Margaret kept us updated with pictures and information before we brought him home, which made the whole process so exciting and personal. It’s clear that Margaret and her family care deeply about matching each puppy with the right family. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend Golden Bundles more highly to anyone looking for a happy, healthy, and beautiful English Golden Retriever. Thank you, Margaret, for giving us our sweet Wrigley. He’s truly the perfect addition to our family!

+4Margaret with Golden Bundles was such a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to our questions and even sent videos of our little golden girl while we waited the 3 long weeks until she was ready to come home. Margaret makes sure her puppies have a seamless transitions to their new homes. In addition to their health checks and immunizations she also sends a care package home with them. She truly thinks of everything. Our Lucy girl is perfect in every way.
