I'm the breeder behind Galvan Goldens located in Springtown, TX. All of our puppies are bred, raised and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets for those seeking a new family companion. In addition to fully health tested parents we do ENS and Puppy Culture and all that we can do to make sure our pups get the best start in life then go to the best homes!
About Debra
We are parents to two young children whom are the light of our lives. Rudy has been in law enforcement for more than 20 years and Debra stays at home to keep the household running smoothly.
What makes Debra’s program special
The time and love we pour into each puppy not only as a litter but also one on one. We make sure each puppy gets time away from their litter with human interaction at minimum 30 minutes a day each.
Debra has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Early neurological stimulation and puppy culture.
All puppies receive a full vet exam including microchip and first round of shots prior to leaving our home. If we are aware of any health concerns with the puppy these will be addressed prior to sale.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Galvan Goldens hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Debra offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Debra started breeding
We have always loved dogs and our home doesn’t go without one. After falling in love with a dog early in our marriage who was very ill from a genetic disease that could have easily been prevented with testing we grew passionate about ethical breeding. Sadly we learned that there weren’t many breeders out there doing the things we were looking for and we grew a desire to do so ourselves.
