Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
I have been passionate about animals since I could walk. Dogs, especially Goldens, have stolen my heart. Producing puppies that I can be proud of is always my bottom line. We don't just "place" puppies, we develop trusted, lifelong relationships.What makes your program special?
Me! I am not just a breeder. I purchase my dogs from responsible, caring breeders as well. I treat people as I would want to be treated. Empathy and respect go a long way.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
