I'm the breeder behind Misty River English Goldens located in Queen Creek, AZ. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! We are dog lovers through and through! Our pups are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with puppies that we know will bring them the same joy!
