I'm Theresa F., the breeder behind TC's Golden Ranch located in Skull Valley, AZ. I breed for temperaments and health. The health and wellbeing of my dogs are my main focus. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Theresa
Why did you start breeding?
I got a Golden Retriever and she was such an amazing dog. I wanted to get a puppy from her and after that, I was just Hooked and everybody wanted a baby from me!
What makes your program special?
I do genetic testing that the Golden Retrievers are predisposed. They have 5 acres to run on and I also do testing. They all are raised around horses chickens cats so they're very well-rounded.
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 and a kennel on my property.
