Theresa's Golden Paradise

Theresa’s Golden Paradise golden retriever kennel in Danville, VA, is part of a family operation serving Southside Virginia near Greensboro. Owner Jonathan Badillo has more than a decade of experience and participates in American Kennel Club health programs. All adults undergo hip and elbow evaluations, eye examinations and cardiac screening before breeding.

Puppies are raised indoors with early socialization among children and other pets to foster balanced temperament and adaptability. The dogs live as part of the family and explore the fenced acreage for daily enrichment. An early stimulation program introduces each puppy to varied sounds, gentle handling and novel textures during the first weeks. Families often note the calm and friendly nature of the puppies as they transition to new homes, underscoring a commitment to responsible breeding and lifelong guidance.

Jonathan remains available to support families with advice on nutrition, training and health as puppies grow.
