The Golden Shugars

The Golden Shugars, golden retrievers, is based in Leesburg, VA, in Northern Virginia near Washington. Ben Shugar follows American Kennel Club guidelines and maintains breed-recommended health testing for hips, elbows, and cardiac screening. Its puppies grow up in a family home where daily socialization, supervised outdoor play, and structured early learning are routine.

The Golden Shugars has cultivated a reputation for its puppies, which earn praise from local breed clubs for calm dispositions and even temperaments. Its program includes introductions to basic obedience and supervised interactions that lay the groundwork for confident family companions.

Adults live indoors and join the family’s routines, while supervised free time on secure paddocks supports natural behaviors and gentle exercise. References highlight consistent health results and the breeder’s willingness to share multi-generation pedigrees as part of a transparent approach. Prospective owners note clear communication and respect for each dog’s unique personality during conversations about matching puppies with homes.
