Q. & A. with Judy
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my breeding program. I have gained incredible insight and knowledge throughout the years and was fortunate enough to work with some amazing mentors. Many of my dogs have become excellent show prospects and champions, but all of them have become excellent family dogs, support systems, and lifelong friends.What makes your program special?
I truly love the Golden and Labrador Retriever breeds and am dedicated to looking out for these dogs as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament, conformation, and beauty of my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
