Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
Because of my love for animals and wanting to be a part of perpetuating healthier animals into the future. I could not have done it when I was younger because I wanted to keep them all! Now that I'm older, I love doing the work it takes to produce top quality puppies to give to their new owners...even all the cleaning up and loss of sleep. A good dog is continuous supply of unconditional love.
What makes your program special?
3 yr. health guarantee for hips, hearts and eyes. Imported English show winners. Producing overall correct, sound dogs; experience, knowledge...always striving to make each generation better. Investment, research and careful selection in breeding prospects from my own litters and from other responsible breeders based on conformation, healthy pedigrees, disposition, physical and genetic testing.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Golden Retriever puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
