I'm the breeder behind Supersweet Golden Retrievers located in Urbana, IL. We are an ethical hobby breeding program with a great amount of education and experience in breeding healthy Golden Retrievers! I have been fortunate to be mentored by Sun Dance Kennel. My goal is to produce an excellent representation of the Golden Retriever that is a balanced combination of a field dog and show dog. I am passionate about this breed and look forward to sharing it with others who love it just as much as I do!

What makes Virginia’s program special
My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile puppies.

Virginia may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

If Virginia offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Virginia directly.
I do everything I can to socialize my puppies. I want them to be easily trainable and have a smooth transition to their new home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Outdoors (when Weather permits), Structures, e.g. Climbing, Toys, e.g. Ball, Socialized with Children, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
I prioritize the health and well-being of each one of my puppies, and I follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Supersweet Golden Retrievers hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Virginia offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
