Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Dixie Goldens located in Holmesville, OH. Hello! My name is Marina and my brother's name is Trevan. We each have a golden retriever. Mine is a light golden, named Ginger and Trevan's dog is a dark red, golden named Juno. We love our puppies very much and want them to go to the best homes possible. We strive to produce healthy family pets.
