I'm the breeder behind Goose Ridge Retrievers located in Gordonsville, VA. My dogs are bred for health, temperament, and longevity. I strive to produce beautiful and versatile beloved companions. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and performance ability!
About Marcy
My dogs are beloved companions first and foremost. There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my dogs, whether that be training, or snuggling up at home. My life is centered around my pups and I wouldn't want it any other way!
What makes Marcy’s program special
I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs is fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!
