Tweedmouth Retrievers

Nicole H.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Nicole H., the breeder behind Tweedmouth Retrievers located in North Carolina. We are small, in-home breeders. We only breed our dogs in a safe and loving environment. Our dogs aren't just pets, they are part of the family and they are treated as such. They sleep in our bed at night and receive all of our attention. We want to make sure we are giving each and every dog and puppy the best chance in life.

Q. & A. with Nicole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because of my love for the breed. My husband and I moved to NC where we have 9 acres for our dogs to run and play. Here, we can breed and give our dogs the best life we could.
  • What makes your program special?

    I think the amount of love, time, a commitment we put into our program to raise the best puppies we can makes our program special. We believe our puppies are forever part of our family.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
