Preservation Breeding

Preservation breeding is the careful, long-term work of protecting the quality, temperament, structure, and purpose of the Golden Retriever. At Sheaman Kennels, that means making thoughtful breeding decisions, honoring the breed standard, and raising dogs with the character, soundness, and presence the breed was originally intended to embody.
