We get all of our studs from Marissa Hendrix, an incredible breeder in central Arkansas called ArkGold (formerly Heart of Gold Pups).
Their breeding program is family oriented, focused on raising the best Goldens with backgrounds from all over the world. These Goldens all originated from the foundation lines in Britain.
ArkGold’s breeding program is focused on achieving excellence in Golden Retrievers through: genetic researched based breeding, health testings, competing in conformation, hunt tests, encouraging companion testings and therapy certifications, preservation of breed type, community outreach and education.
We (NWA Goldens) have 5 generations of girls (Lilly, Sunshine, Isla, Nala, and Navy) that we have bred with sires from ArkGold. All these sires come from championship bloodlines, and are full-blooded English Creme (European) golden retrievers.
