Hi my name is Carole Torgerson. I am a breeder of Golden Retrievers located in Ardoch ND. I fell in love with the Golden Retriever breed and began researching pedigrees. My first golden retrievers were purchased from long-time golden retriever breeders, Kathy Cusick and Bonnie Wakely.
Having a passion for helping people through the love of Goldens I went on to complete a certification course in Animal Assisted Therapy In Healing Environments. Became a Registered Pet Partner along with my therapy dog “Missie”. I was one of the first pioneers of Delta Society Pet Partner Evaluators in North Dakota. Served on the board for Service Dogs For America. Became involved with Home On The Range implementing a Canine Assisstance Program. This has been my journey in bringing the love of Goldens to the hearts of many wonderful families.
All of my Golden Retrievers come from exceptional blood lines with numerous champions in their pedigrees. Their pedigrees also include high quality health clearances. I am dedicated in producing dogs with sound temperaments and strong health clearances. Golden Retrievers in my breeding program have heart, eyes, hip, elbow clearances and are also genetic tested for PRA 1, PRA II, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration, Ichthyosis Type 1 and Type 2 and Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 5. My puppies are highly socialized and are raised in our home.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
