I'm the breeder behind Emma's Golden Puppers located in Mt Solon, VA. We're new breeders starting a small program. We hope to help provide families with quality puppies as we continue to learn & grow! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since! We want to provide every family with our amazing pups! They have changed our lives and we hope to do that to others!
