About Judy
Starting in 1985, I’ve been breeding and raising Goldens for over 35 years now I’m dedicated to promoting and improving this amazing breed.Being a mother of a marine who served in Iraq , I have seen what these amazing dogs can do for those who need them most. All my children were raised and surrounded by the love these dogs can give and my desire is to provide more families a chance for this love.
What makes Judy’s program special
I believe my 35 plus years of experience and surrounding myself with those who know more than I about these wonderful dogs gives me an advantage. I hold a high standard in health clearances and genetic testing, which offer the best start to life. That , along with ENS and Jumpstart training for all our puppies. A clean, loving living environment full of age appropriate social stimulation

Why Judy started breeding
I was introduced to Goldens by a friend when my children were small. I had never met another dog like her. I wanted others to know this same love and affection. Years past I began to be aware of health issues arriving within the breed so I started looking for better genetics and health and found them in the European bloodlines. I’ve been breeding these linages ever since.
