Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Riverbend Goldens located in Webster Groves, MO. I am a responsible high-quality Golden Retriever breeder and I also have American Staffordshire Terriers. I breed only OFA cleared dogs. My dogs are bred for their health and temperament. They are wonderful family pets and can perform well in obedience, rally, and conformation.
