Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind English Creamery Golden Retrievers located in Franklin, TN. We breed top-quality English Cream Golden Retrievers. Our puppies are raised with care in our home, and we only sell to responsible owners. The quality of our puppies reflects the conscious decisions we make throughout every part of the breeding process.

Debbie’s experience

  • About Debbie

    We have owned golden retrievers for over 30 years. After losing all of our previous goldens to cancer at age 9, we decided to get English Cream goldens for improved health and longevity. We have found them to also be calmer than the American goldens. English Creams are generally shorter and stockier than American Goldens. Both of our dogs are giant lap dogs who are content to lay on us watching TV with us. They actually watch the TV!

  • What makes Debbie’s program special

    All our dogs have outstanding health clearances and genetics, as well as championship lineage. Puppies are raised in our home as family pets. We have completed multiple Good Dog certification courses to ensure that we are as knowledgeable and responsible as possible.
