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.
About Marina
Our puppies go to their forever home with a small bag of puppy food, a toy their siblings played with, and and blanket rubbed over their mom.
What makes Marina’s program special
We don't raise puppies for the money but rather for the pleasure.
