True Magic Goldens
- Hanover, PA
Meet the breeder
I'm Karen S., the breeder behind True Magic Goldens located in Hanover, PA. We are not a kennel or a puppy mill, simply a family that loves Golden Retrievers. We have found Goldens offer the type of temperament we are looking for, whether for obedience, agility, conformation or companionship. Our "babies" as we call them, are part of our family.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
Trixie had a mind of her own and showed her stubborn side every day. As she entered her senior years, she was still the one that required us to close all the bathroom doors, push things to the back of the counter and watch her every move. Although she was mischievous to say the least, she was so very loving and just wanted to snuggle. She certainly was one of a kind, in a fabulous way!!!What makes your program special?
We have a limited number of litters a year preferring to focus on quality in lieu of quantity. All potential buyers are asked to complete a ‘questionnaire’ in an effort to ensure all buyers offer the type of home environment that is conducive to puppies (and Goldens, specifically). If the puppy questionnaire is accepted, a personal interview time will be established to meet us and see our home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Price
“Included is a complete health record, a packet with basic guidance and their AKC registration. Depending on the new owners, 4 puppy classes will be held if 50% of the litter can attend. The deposit is not actually deposited until after the puppies are born and we are sure there is a puppy for everyone who is on the list. Deposits are refundable before the puppies are born, not after.”
Contract & health guarantee
Karen may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
