Golden Beginnings
- Certified Good Dog Breeder
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Golden Beginnings located in Spokane Valley, WA. Golden Retrievers are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. We are dedicated towards achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we are always working to further our education so that we can continue to improve our breeding program. Our pups are raised in our home and are loved and well taken care of until we can place them with you. We do OFA health testing to ensure we breed the best of the breed.
Sheri’s experience
What makes Sheri’s program special
Our dogs are huge part of our family and are socialized with all ages. They are raised in our home with plenty of attention and outside play. We make sure our pups are exposed to different stimuli for a more confident dog. We work on training and play. We cuddle, groom, and love on them constantly.
