Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Southern Nevada Goldens located in Pahrump, NV. We have a puppy culture program from 0-8wks that ensures your puppy is socialized properly! We also start basic training and communication at just 4 weeks of age. Puppies are raised inside the home with us at all times. They’re socialized with people and older dogs.
Amanda’s experience
About Amanda
We are a family of 4 ( mom, dad, son-17, and grandma) The puppy raising is mostly left to mom and grandma as it is their full time jobs! We enjoy spending as much time at home as possible. True home bodies!
What makes Amanda’s program special
We use a puppy culture for ages birth-8 weeks. This exposes puppies to all the sights, sounds, and interactions in a normal household. We have seen many puppies come from breeders who had very little interaction with their pups and have developed many behavioral issues. Age appropriate training and interactions is the single most over looked factor in choosing a breeder!
