Q. & A. with JACKIE
Why did you start breeding?
We Fell in love with our first Golden Retriever and decided to add another to our family and breed them a few times. After just one litter we completely fell in love and knew that this was what we wanted to do! We have learned so much since that first litter and our passions just keeps growing!What makes your program special?
We take great pride in our breeding process, which starts with carefully selecting our breeding pairs. We do not kennel our dogs. All of our dogs live in our home with us getting individual attention every day. All litters are born and raised in our home until adopted, this is a big part of the socialization and getting puppies used to household sounds.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
