Welcome to Sun & Sand Goldens!

Thank you for visiting! Your journey to finding the perfect Golden Retriever companion starts right here.

At Sun & Sand Goldens, we’re a small, family-run program with a big heart for raising quality Golden Retrievers. Our dogs are more than just breeders, they’re beloved members of our family. Located in the peaceful countryside of Brittons Neck, South Carolina.  Our Goldens live indoors with us, enjoying plenty of attention, affection, and a relaxed, country lifestyle.

Our puppies are born and lovingly raised in our home, not kennels, ensuring they receive intentional care from day one. Starting litter box training at just 3 weeks old, pups experience gentle handling and exposure to various sounds and textures daily. By 4 weeks, they're weaning onto puppy mush supplemented with daily probiotics, and at 6 weeks, they receive core vaccinations and thorough vet health checks, preparing them for their forever homes at 8 weeks.

My passion for exceptional canine care drives a dedication to ongoing education, ensuring every puppy receives a strong foundation in health, happiness, and love. With a Bachelor of Science in Canine Science and Associate degrees in Veterinary Assisting and Pharmacy Technology, I have established a solid academic background in animal health.

To deepen my expertise, I continually pursue advanced training and certifications from respected institutions worldwide, covering areas such as animal welfare, genetics, vaccination protocols, and infectious disease management. I am also proudly Elite Fear Free Certified, an AAHA-certified microchipping specialist, and a member of IAABC, committed to stress-free experiences and scientifically informed behavior training.

Continuous education allows me to prioritize the health and well-being of each puppy, support families with expert guidance, and foster excellence through a breeding program grounded in compassion, integrity, and respect for Golden Retrievers. At Sun & Sand Goldens, every wagging tail begins with love, care, and a foundation built on ongoing learning and expertise.

We’re so glad you found us. Please enjoy exploring our site, and when you're ready, we look forward to welcoming you into the Sun & Sand Goldens family.
