Meet the breeder
I'm Tricia N., the breeder behind Sunridge Goldens located in Crawfordsville, IN. I am a small in-home kennel that breeds English golden retrievers. I selected my foundation dogs from our dear friends at Gillbryan, a very distinguished English kennel. My goal is to produce a healthy, structurally correct golden. Always striving to improve the breed.
Q. & A. with Tricia
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with sporting dogs, but it wasn't until I started working in education and saw students who struggled daily that I started my journey to find the all-around dog. A dog that I could do sports with, but could also provide comfort to children and adults alike.What makes your program special?
Bringing my vision to life was not made overnight. My dream has been years in the making. I visited multiple kennels and walked away from cute puppies. I knew I needed a biddable dog, correct in structure, sound, and healthy. I searched for the versatility that's hard to come by. My puppies are bred for purpose, these are very well thought out litters. Producing pups from top European lines.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
