I'm Maureen M., the breeder behind Moe's Goldens and HavAntics located in Anderson, SC. I am passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. I take pride in my pups. I have put breeding on hold for a while now due to life issues and am working to rebuild my program to provide healthy family members. 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.
Q. & A. with Maureen
Why did you start breeding?
Almost 20 years ago, I started learning about Golden retrievers and health tests and joined GRCA.
What makes your program special?
I have such a love of the breeds and work every day to improve my knowledge to work towards providing that perfect new family member.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Golden Retriever puppies are golden. Havanese puppies include black and white, white, black and silver, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
