Red-Dawn Golden Retrievers
Red-Dawn breeds Golden Retrievers in North Texas near Dallas TX. Since 2003, Alicia has been recognized as an AKC Breeder of Merit.
Genetic diversity is a priority. The puppy’s low inbreeding and high diversity is achieved by blending distinct lines of Goldens. The parent dogs are:
- European show lines
- Australian line show dogs
- American hunting lines
- American conformation and sport lines
We started breeding and showing Golden Retrievers in 1986. In 1999, we began Red-Dawn Border Collies. Over the years, Red-Dawn has produced hundreds of working service dogs for people with disabilities. We have also produced hundreds of dogs that compete in agility, obedience, conformation, and many other dog sports. Our lines are fully health-tested with DNA and OFA for generation after generation.
Our goal is to produce great temperaments and exceptional health by blending lines of Goldens to create low inbreeding and high diversity.
