Our love affair with golden retrievers began in college, when a favorite professor had a companion golden retriever, Tug, who went everywhere with him. Tug’s deep golden color, lively yet sweet personality, and warm brown eyes embodied everything a dog should be.
Many years later, after we married and had two children, we acquired our first champion pedigree golden retriever. Within the next eight years, our Wood Ridge golden family expanded to include several other majestic female goldens. Breeding since 2003, we have been blessed with litters of beautiful puppies and terrific clients.
It truly takes an entire family to care for our Wood Ridge dogs, to whelp a litter, and to raise puppies. Our family shares equal duties as dog trainers and walkers, poop scoopers, late night checkers, and drivers to the vet. Our daughter is our chief puppy wrangler, and she can often be found in the whelping box cuddling and talking to each puppy.
