I'm Carolyn E., the breeder behind Wood Widgeon Hollow located in Plum Branch, SC. I strive for 100% satisfaction, whether it be in the show ring, for emotional support/therapy, or as the best family dog. Great temperament and conformation are essential to my breeding program. I take great pride in my dogs and my breeding program. I am always taking measures to ensure I am producing high-quality dogs.
Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I eventually got a service dog for myself and fell in love with her from day one. I knew I wanted to breed her responsibly and produce healthy, well-rounded pups.
What makes your program special?
I truly love the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I am a selective program that focuses on temperament and conformation. I breed to produce happy and healthy puppies that can continue to excel in their forever homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
