Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Mayflower Goldens located in Plymouth, MA. Our Goldens are bred for temperament, health and confirmation. The perfect pup to me is the perfect family dog. These babies are raised inside my home alongside my 3 small children, old Great Dane, cats, chickens and turkeys. They will be very well loved, socialized and beginning training.

I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Livestock interactions, grooming , We begin potty training along with crate training & believe the two go hand in hand., Early socialization, Initial House Training, Litter Box Trained, Obedience training started, Human Interactions , Potty pads,, Impulse Control, Puppy Manners, Puppy Culture , Basic manners, Name recognition , Sit Command, Potty training, crate training, Leash Walking, Crate Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.

More about Ashley

  • Why Ashley started breeding

    I used to breed Great Danes when I had trouble finding a breeder who didn’t just stick two dogs together. I found a passion for helping people find a health tested, quality puppy to love. As my family grew and changed so didn’t our dogs. I missed breeding, the health testing, the connecting with families so set out to find a phenomenal golden puppy to begin the journey all over again.
