Meet the breeder

I'm Nat C., the breeder behind Star Raised Goldens located in Phoenix, AZ. All our dogs are bred to better the breed standard with good bone structure, confident loving puppies. All parents are OFA certified via hips, elbows, heart, and eyes, and DNA is on profile for all dogs to be cleared genetic wise. Our dogs are our family, raised in home around kids & other dogs.

Q. & A. with Nat

  • Why did you start breeding?

    With being mentored by a few close friends and reputable breeders, I have decided I am ready to start spreading the love of happy and healthy goldens.

  • What makes your program special?

    All puppies come with a 1 year health guarantee and a guide to set your puppy and you up for success and a long happy life together. Puppies are socialized via sounds, people, other dogs and BAER + volhard temperament tested.

  • 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?

    They live in my home.
