St. Paul Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Sherri H., the breeder behind St. Paul Goldens located in Saint Paul, MO. We work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded puppies that will make others as happy as our dogs have made us! We have developed several protocols to ensure the health and well-being of all of our dogs. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member into their homes!
Q. & A. with Sherri
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding because we love the golden breed. We want to keep good bloodlines going and we hope people take our puppies and use them for service, hunting, or show dogs. Even if you just want a great companion that's fine too!!What makes your program special?
We treat our dogs with respect. We only breed our females once a year. We want them to fully recover before their next litter. We are only planning on having 3-4 litters each girl.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
