Starlight Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Darcy S., the breeder behind Starlight Goldens located in El Campo, TX. We strive to connect good homes with our darling puppies. We long to have our puppies have the best life possible and a highlight is getting pictures from previous buyers!
Q. & A. with Darcy
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first puppy, Denali Sable in 2019. Axel Sherlock soon followed. Much later, I got Kamaria Kai from Pennsylvania. I do not plan on getting any more dogs at this time. These three dears keep me quite busy and add volumes to my life.What makes your program special?
I am a very small breeder who loves each of my dogs for who they are. Axel Sherlock is my big-muscled, blocky boy who is easy to train and loves to please. Denali Sable is my energetic girl who after all her antics just wants tasty treats and lots of love. Kamaria Kai is my calm dog. Nothing could be better to her than a good scratching and maybe a swim in the pond!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
