What makes Sara’s program special
I hold myself to a high standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies.

Why Sara started breeding
I got into breeding golden retrievers after working in cancer care for animals in the internal medicine department. I chose golden retrievers to try and breed the healthiest golden retrievers that I could to help improve the breed. I focus on the pedigrees of each dog used in my breeding program to ensure that the lines are as healthy as possible.
