Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
I love Golden Retrievers and I am devoted to doing whatever I can to preserve, protect, and improve this incredible breed. My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Golden Retriever while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and standard. I hope my puppies bring lasting joy and love into your homes!
What makes your program special?
All of my Goldens are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. At Waggly Retrievers, beauty is a given, but producing healthy and loving companions for others to enjoy for years to come is our true goal!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
