I'm the breeder behind Goldens for You located in Greenville, SC. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!
About Tina
We produce high quality, well-rounded, confident, and versatile Goldens. Our puppies’ health and wellbeing is our main priority. We raise all our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies who will easily transition to their new homes. Golden Retrievers are our passion, and we work hard to ensure our parents are fully health tested, come from well-bred bloodlines, and have amazing temperaments.
What makes Tina’s program special
Our puppies are born and raised in our home, so they are familiar to the sights and sounds of a busy household. Prior to leaving our home, they are introduced to many obstacles, toys, people, and the outdoors. They also begin the foundations of potty training and crate training. We strive to produce health, beautiful Goldens with sound temperaments. All of our parents have passed their OFA hips, elbows, eyes, and heart clearances and come from well-bred pedigrees.

Puppies receive Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) for 2 consecutive weeks beginning on day 3 after puppies are born. In addition to this, puppies begin potty training as soon as their eyes open and they can begin to walk. Because they are raised in our home, they are exposed to the normal sounds of a busy household such as vacuums, pots and pans banging, and kids playing. Around week 3 we begin introducing obstacles, toys, new sights and sounds, and exposure outdoors to enrich our puppies. Finally, puppies start the basics of crate training, experience car rides, and meet new dogs and people. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with children, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, and Various sounds.
All puppies are seen by the vet at 6 weeks of age, have received their 1st round of vaccinations (given by vet) and are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age.
We send our puppies home with Registration, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Vet records, Toys, Initial potty training, Puppy Starter Kit, and AKC Registration.
