Lara R.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Lara R., the breeder behind Xanadu Goldens located in Prescott, AZ. Our dogs are whelped and raised in our home; never kenneled, an integral part of our daily lives. They experience children, multiple dogs, all sorts of normal household noises, and regular grooming. As a member of the Golden Retriever Club of America, I support and follow the guidelines which have been established to avoid transmission of heritable disorders in our breed.

Q. & A. with Lara

Why did you start breeding?
I went to a dog show. I was hooked and knew breeding was something I had to do.
What makes your program special?
We strive always to breed healthy, beautiful, versatile dogs that meet the breed standard with the fun-loving yet biddable temperament that makes a dog a Golden Retriever. Our dogs live in our home, and we avoid over-vaccination and chemicals.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
