I'm the breeder behind Bella Mia Goldens located in Perry, NY. We have developed an intentionally small breeding program which allows us the time to give all of our puppies proper lots of attention and socialization. We prioritize finding studs with qualities that complement our breeding females. We view our customers as extended family and ask that they maintain contact with us by sending updates as their puppy grows and matures either by email or our community Facebook page. We are always here to answer questions and offer support if needed.
Q. & A. with Karen

We perform Early Neurological Stimulation on our puppies from day 3 to day 16, and ensure our puppies get lots of socialization. We always proudly stand behind the health and well being of our pups.

Golden Retriever
About Benly
Benly is a sweet tempered boy who draws a crowd wherever we go. He loves people, especially small children and is eager to please. He comes from show lines and has an impressive number of champions and grand champions in his pedigree, including Hillock’s Jack Daniel’s. He is a solid 73 lbs with a nice blocky head and a well balanced body. He is on the darker end of the golden spectrum and has a thick lustrous coat. We are often asked if he just came from the groomer, but a weekly brush out is all he needs to maintain his beautiful coat.
