Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding after years of studying Golden Retriever temperament, health, and bloodlines. I realized there was a need for responsible, ethical breeders who truly prioritize the well being of the dogs. My goal from day one has been to raise healthy, well socialized puppies and provide families with a trustworthy experience.What makes your program special?
My puppies are raised in my home, not in kennels. They grow up around daily household noises, kids, other pets, and real life environments making them confident, well socialized, and easy to transition into new homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
