​Information about our Breeding Program

As of 2018, CSDA is building a breeding program with hand picked Golden Retrievers from lines throughout the WORLD based on pedigrees that stand out in the areas that we care about. Health and temperament are the most important things to consider when choosing dogs as Service Dog candidates, but especially so when choosing them to become breeding dogs. These dogs will hopefully go on to produce outstanding puppies that have a better chance of growing up into Service Dogs.
