Meet the breeder

I'm Ashley D., the breeder behind Stud Service located in Cochranton, PA. We offer our dog's stud services in order to continue producing quality pups. My goal with each pairing is to produce healthy, versatile pups who will make wonderful additions to their forever families.

Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A coworker and I are hoping and planning on producing healthy puppies together. We are both very passionate about this breed. With us both working in the veterinary field, we see first hand what poor/ bad breeding does to animals.
  • 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.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
