Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Woodecoy Golden Retrievers and Wirehaired Pointing Griffons located in Ridgecrest, CA. We have puppies available for hunting, performance, and active, experienced pet homes. We strive to breed athletic healthy dogs that are fun to compete with and great family pets. Our dogs have health checks for eyes, heart, thyroid, hips, and elbows; and DNA tests for prcd-PRA, PRA1, PRA2, Ichthyosis, and NCL. In 2016 we were fortunate to obtain Cutter from Supreme Point WHPG’s. We love hunting over a pointer as well, and Cutter has fit in well with our household of Golden Retrievers.
