True Grit Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Ganetta S., the breeder behind True Grit Golden Retrievers located in Gonzales, LA. As an AKC Breeder of Merit, my goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is fully prepared for its future role when it leaves my care. As an experienced dog trainer, I provide all pups with socialization and training, following the code of ethics of the Golden Retriever Club of America.
Q. & A. with Ganetta
Why did you start breeding?
I've always enjoyed living with, loving, training, and competing with dogs. My own fantastic dogs inspired me to help improve the Golden Retriever Breed.What makes your program special?
My sole purpose in breeding is to produce the best quality puppies possible. My heart's desire is to help you and your Golden Retriever puppy enjoy a happy life together. I do this by hand-rearing puppies myself, interviewing clients, and following puppies with continued support throughout their lifetime.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are dark golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Jada
Jada is a fun-loving house dog. Extremely smart and easy to train. Jada wants to please and loves obedience training the most. Her water entries are spectacular and usually 20 feet. Excellent marker and always quiet at the line. The blue ribbons hanging on her neck in her picture were won in one weekend. Jada is my "heart" dog and so much fun to train and show. She lives in our house with us and is gentle with everyone.
