Let me introduce myself. My name is Bridget Patria and I live with my husband, children, and many dogs in southern NH. Anyone can be a dog breeder, but not every breeder is a dog lover. I was raised on a farm and can't remember a time where animals weren't a part of my life. In my opinion, having animals in your life adds wonderful character, like: responsibility, work ethic, commitment, and in return you receive that unconditional love that animals give. I also helped my parents run their toy breed breeding program and became experienced in breeding and whelping dogs. After I was married, I started breeding Golden Retrievers and absolutely love the responsibility of raising quality dogs. In 2014,  I decided to further my education with dogs and went to Catch Canine Dog Trainers Academy and graduated with distinction in 2016 as a Certified Dog Trainer. Understanding how animals learn and how to train them has been a beneficial accompaniment in raising my dogs and puppies and getting them ready for their new homes. I have been able to expand my program to include Trained Puppies offered at different stages of training and to varying degrees of training. This includes therapy and service dog training, with official certification in Service Dog training coming soon. I also offer private lessons for any breed of dog. My philosophy in breeding dogs is that quality should always come before quantity. I have committed to raising my dogs underfoot and never getting to a point where they are kenneled outside, like so many breeding programs run. I believe that my dogs should be part of the family and all receive individual attention. As my program grows, I will remain committed to this practice. I am very blessed to love my job and to be able to share the fruit of my work with others so that they can experience the Golden Retriever breed and all it has to offer.
