Q. & A. with Jessica

• What makes your program special?

  As a dedicated Golden Retriever breeder, I excel in my role due to several key factors. Firstly, I prioritize the health of the breed by conducting thorough OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) testing. This comprehensive evaluation identifies potential genetic disorders affecting hips, elbows, and joints, ensuring the puppies I breed have a reduced risk of developing these conditions. By adhering to rigorous standards, I prioritize their long-term well-being. Additionally, I maintain clear health standards for my Golden Retrievers. Regular check-ups with veterinarians, vaccinations, and comprehensive genetic testing are essential components of my breeding program. These measures help ensure that the puppies I produce are born with a clean bill of health, providing them with the best start in life. Furthermore, what truly distinguishes me as a breeder is that my dogs live with me at home, rather than being kept in kennels or isolated. They are cherished members of my family, receiving daily love, attention, and socialization within a nurturing environment. This close bond allows me to genuinely understand their unique personalities and temperaments, enabling me to make informed decisions when selecting suitable mates for breeding. By keeping my dogs as beloved pets, I ensure that they are happy, well-adjusted, and loving companions. In conclusion, my commitment to the health and well-being of Golden Retrievers, evident through OFA testing and clear health standards, combined with the fact that my dogs live with me as cherished family members, sets me apart as a reputable and responsible breeder. These practices contribute to the betterment of the breed while providing puppies with the best possible start in life.
