I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I started out showing and breeding small breeds. I became involved with Paws with a Cause as a volunteer over twelve years ago. That is when I fell in love with Golden Retrievers.
Before owning my own goldens, I whelped litters for Paws with a Cause, which is where I met Renee. I decided I could no longer live without a golden and turned to Renee for help picking out my first golden puppy, Wynwood's Hallelujah Time "Hallie". Hallie has been an ideal family dog. She has had 3 litters to date. Out of her first litter, one of her puppies became a successful service dog.
Renee has been my mentor and good friend for over last 9 years. I highly value her advice and she helps me research breedings before any decisions are made.
I also house a breeding stock dog for Paws with a Cause, that is out of the Wynwood pedigree. She has produced 29 puppies so far. The fourth litter is soon to go in for their formal training to become future service dogs.
I am a Field Representative for Paws with a Cause, and work with clients when they get their new service dogs and also give presentations for Paws.
Two years ago we added another Wynwood Golden to our family out of Hallie x Raptor breeding, Wynwood's Bound for Glory "Glory". Glory is very athlethic, and has a darker easy to care for coat. She loves to be busy, but can just chill out when nothing is going on.
