OUR STORY…


Sweet Caralina Goldens began in 2011.  Always having been dog owners and dog lovers, we decided to look into raising puppies. Raising puppies appealed to us because it would be more than just a job or a hobby.  Puppies were not only something that we could love, but something that we knew would love us back. Knowing that just loving something isn't enough to consider it a good fit, we began asking ourselves questions: Do we have enough time to give each mother and father the attention that they will need? Do we know enough about raising dogs to ensure a successful outcome? Will we get into this and then feel overwhelmed?

​

Recognizing that dogs are not inanimate objects, we asked ourselves, "Can we make a lifetime commitment to our dogs? Can we make a commitment that whether it is a puppy or an adult, we never let it leave the premises unless we have the confidence it's going to a home that will love and provide adequate care for it?" After praying and thinking as well as doing some in-depth research, we came back with a resounding "Yes!" We were well suited and up to the job!

​​

We started out buying two mamma's. We wanted to be very careful and from the beginning have chosen our parents for health and good temperaments. After those characteristics, we consider  and last but not least, great conformation and a full shiny coat. We want to be able with full confidence to ensure our puppies are healthy and that they have good temperaments and all the beauty the breed is known for! We love every puppy born into our home and are committed to giving it a wonderful life. Maybe you will be a part of that.

We will continue to stay small in order to provide all of our babies with all the daily love and attention they deserve and need.  Thanks for checking us out and have a great Day!

What life in McMinnville TN looks like…

Abby and Jason live in house next to a creek, where on occasion they like to take the puppies for a little swim. Their Goldens, Chevy (Son of Baxter & Ellie), Daisy, and Shasta (Retired), and their newest addition Mabel (Bernese Mountain dog), get into trouble and run around in the woods and the creek. They are hoping one day to try having a litter of “Golden Mountain Dog” puppies

Meanwhile in Fair Play SC

In Fair Play SC, Joanna and the rest of the family, live near Lake Hartwell, and their Goldens love to go for swims, and explore the nearby wooded area, with their Goldens Ellie-Mae (retired), Luna, Trigger, and new additions Duchess and Molly (English Cream). The puppies live their best life, spending a few hours in the morning and in the evening, basking in the sun on the deck.

“Our pup is the sweetest! You can tell she’s been loved on and socialized. Joanna is awesome to work with. It’s easy to see why she has a waiting list!”

Ashton Faith Pless - June/2/2022

“We have had our golden from JoAnna for a week now! She is adjusting so well and is so smart. Our puppy came with a perfect bill of health and it was obvious that they had socialized her and desensitized her to pretty much everything! She’s extremely friendly is learning so quickly. JoAnna did an amazing job with updating us on our puppy and giving us lots of information and tips on pick up day. Our puppy is amazing and we’re so thankful we chose Sweet Carolina Goldens!”

Holly Gibbs - February/23/2020

“AMAZING breeders. Just picked up my sweet puppy up Friday night. She is super sweet and has a great temperament! She knows how to go in her Kennel and her play pen area and be calm, already knows sit and hasn’t had an accident yet”

“I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for quality dogs. I got a goldendoodle and was searching various places in the southeast and her litter stood out to me. She was very helpful on the process (this was my first dog I’ve owned) I was able to meet her and the dogs before choosing my puppy - they are surrounded by her loving family and a huge backyard where the dogs can play. I love my dog so much and very much appreciate all of the love and care she gave my pup when she was a baby! THANK YOU, Joanna!”
