Who we are ....
A life-time of experience and a passion for dogs and people who love them
Our Goldadore breeding journey began in 2008 when I introduced a service program to our classes. From 2008 to 2025, only 5% of the puppies I produced were placed as family pets, while 95% were donated to the Pawsitive Action Foundation. In 2025, I faced the tough decision to close the non-profit. Now semi-retired, I enjoy caring for my elderly mother and have a quieter life on my small hobby farm after 45 years as a "dog sport/show enthusiast. Continuing the breeding program is a perfect fit for my continued love of dogs.
