I'm the breeder behind Lucky Penny Goldens located in David City, NE. I am passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. I offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. I focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. My dogs are family members first and foremost. I am passionate about the work I do and truly love my dogs.
Q. & A. with Rob
Why did you start breeding?
I believe that if you commit to producing dogs of sound structure and take care of their minds and bodies, your pups will grow up to be happy, healthy, and beautiful. I am proud to be raising these wonderful dogs and will always commit to maintaining the highest quality standards for my program.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
