Welcome to Springvale Golden Retrievers and now Cardigan Welsh Corgis !!
I was given my first Golden in 1989, Abby was a pet and the biggest sweetheart, there began my love for the Golden Retriever breed, and also breeding and showing here at
Springvale.
We got our first Cardi, "Indy", in June of 2006. I HAD TO HAVE a blue merle, so there it began.
We are nestled in the countryside, near Cooperstown, NY, famous for the Baseball Hall of Fame, with many meadows & vales with springs popping up all around, hence our name, SPRINGVALE.
Temperament is #1 here, in our Goldens AND our Cardigans! All of our Goldens have their OFA hip, elbow, and cardiac clearances, as well as their eyes cleared with CERF. Since we are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, we abide by their Breeder Code of Ethics! We hope you will enjoy this site and our dogs as much as we do.
