We breed the best genetics and coats with extensive health testing. Our pups are multi-generational and considered hypo-allergenic and non-shedding.
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
We had an AKC Golden Retriever and a local AKC Golden Retriever male broke into our yard and before long, we had a beautiful litter of puppies to care for. We loved it and eventually decided to become more specialized in breeding pups for temperaments, allergies, and genetics. We love what we do and believe we provide pups that can't typically be found at a rescue shelter, or even at most breeders.
What makes your program special?
We do emotional conditioning, bio-sensor program, Puppy Culture philosophy, lots of love and socialization. We do temperament testing, careful selection of applicants, contracts signed for ethical care, extensive genetic testing and each pup is leash trained and crate trained. We prepare our families for success with their pup at home and follow through with support.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
