DICKINSON FAMILY GOLDENS

Dickinson Family Goldens raises AKC Golden Retriever puppies at home in Escondido, with the family's two mama dogs, Zoey and Finley, at the center of the breeding program. The puppies are family raised, vaccinated and microchipped, and the aim is healthy, well-socialized dogs with good temperaments for their new homes.

The business started raising puppies in 2021, taking over from an extended family's earlier breeding business. Families interested in a puppy fill out a new puppy application form, and current and upcoming litters are posted online. The Dickinsons, led by Andrew Dickinson, answer questions about the adoption process by phone or email.
