Meet the breeder
I'm Tina R., the breeder behind Suncoast Goldens located in Jasper, TN. At Suncoast Goldens, we raise English Golden Retrievers known for their loving temperament, health, and beautiful structure. Our dogs live in our home as part of our family and are never raised in kennel environments. Health is a priority in our program. All breeding dogs complete recommended Golden Retriever health testing including OFA hips, elbows, heart, eyes, and DNA testing for conditions such as Ichthyosis and PRA. Our puppies are raised inside our home and handled daily from birth. We incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to help develop confident, well-balanced puppies. Our goal is to raise healthy Golden Retrievers that grow into loving lifelong family companions. We love staying connected with our puppy families and watching our puppies grow in their new homes.
Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
I spent many years researching responsible dog breeding before starting my program. During that time I became friends with an experienced breeder who mentored me and provided invaluable guidance. With their support and after extensive preparation, I began my breeding program with health-tested Golden Retrievers that have strong genetics and wonderful temperaments. All of my dogs are first and foremost family pets, and raising healthy, loving companions is the heart of what we do.What makes your program special?
Our focus is raising the healthiest, best-tempered puppies possible. We are always learning and staying up to date on the latest information in breeding and puppy development. Health testing, temperament, and early puppy development are priorities in our program. We are proud members of Avidog, using science-based practices to raise confident, resilient puppies and continually improve our breeding program.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates

Program update on 22 Mar •…🐾 Angel’s Litter – 3 Week Update 🐾 Our sweet Angel babies are officially 3 weeks old and growing more adorable by the day! This is such a fun stage as we start to see their little personalities begin to shine ✨ 👀 Eyes & Ears Open All puppies now have their eyes open and are starting to hear the world around them. You’ll notice they are becoming more aware, curious, and interactive with their littermates and us. 🐾 Wobbly First Steps They are beginning to walk (lots of adorable wobbling!) and exploring more of their space. It’s so fun watching them gain confidence each day. 🦷 Early Development We’re starting to see the very beginnings of teeth coming in, which means we’ll soon be transitioning into the next phase with puppy mush in the coming week. 💛 Socialization & Handling We continue daily handling, snuggles, and early neurological stimulation. This helps build the foundation for confident, well-adjusted puppies. ⚖️ Growing Strong Everyone is gaining weight beautifully and thriving! We love seeing these chunky little bodies develop. ✨ What’s Next Over the next week, you’ll see even more interaction, playfulness, and personality as they continue to grow and develop. It only gets cuter from here! Thank you to all of our amazing families for following along on this journey—we are soaking in every moment with these precious babies 💕 — Tina Suncoast Goldens 🐾

Parent dogs
Boots, mom
Golden Retriever
About Boots
Miss Boots is truly an old soul. She has an incredibly gentle, intuitive nature and absolutely adores people of all ages — from babies and young children to seniors. Her calm, affectionate demeanor makes her a natural in therapy-style settings, and she especially loves visiting nursing homes where her favorite job is simply loving on people. Before the age of one, Miss Boots earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title, followed by her AKC Community Canine (CGCA) and AKC Urban CGC (CGCU) — a testament to her steady temperament, confidence, and love of working alongside her people. She thrives when she has a purpose and approaches everything with a quiet willingness to please. Boots is exceptionally calm, enjoys car rides, and carries herself with a peaceful, grounded presence that you immediately feel when you’re around her. That temperament shines through in her puppies, who consistently demonstrate stable, confident, and people-focused personalities. She passes on not just her beauty, but her heart.
