I'm Virginia R., the breeder behind Supersweet Golden Retrievers located in Urbana, IL. We are an ethical hobby breeding program with a great amount of education and experience in breeding healthy Golden Retrievers! I have been fortunate to be mentored by Sun Dance Kennel. My goal is to produce an excellent representation of the Golden Retriever that is a balanced combination of a field dog and show dog. I am passionate about this breed and look forward to sharing it with others who love it just as much as I do!
