Growing Up Goldens/English & French Bulldogs

Growing Up Goldens/English & French Bulldogs breeds golden retrievers and french bulldogs in Waterbury, CT, New Haven County near Hartford. Dawn Melendez has over ten years of experience working with golden retrievers and bulldogs in a home environment. She is a member of the American Kennel Club breeder program and ensures adult dogs undergo hip, elbow and cardiac evaluations as well as eye exams.

Puppies grow up inside the home with daily handling, toys and gentle exposure to household sounds. Each puppy is socialized with children, guests and everyday noises to build confidence. They enjoy supervised backyard time, basic leash training and gentle crate familiarization. Dawn welcomes visits by appointment so prospective families can meet the adult dogs and view living areas. Feedback from families often highlights the breeder’s responsive communication and willingness to share photos and videos throughout the process.
