Meet the breeder

I'm Celeste F., the breeder behind Starrdust Goldens and Havanese located in Pittsford, NY. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I have been breeding and showing my dogs for years and truly love what I do. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.

Q. & A. with Celeste

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up with Golden Retrievers and started training and showing them in obedience when I was 12 years old. I have been breeding Goldens since 1987 and Havanese since 2011. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.
  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
