My name is Tara Schnetz and I am a Christian who breeds dogs. I also write books on showing livestock, work with kids, and I manage a living history camp.
I raise Golden Retrievers for those interested in a close personal companion. My Goldens are selected for their temperament and personality as family dogs. These puppies will love you, your faimly, adventures, and the outdoors. We recommend them to families spending lots of time outside!
My Goldens are raised with intentionality and regular handling to set them up for success. My regular handling exercises encourage them to be comfortable with their ears, nails, and feet touched. My goal is for them to be confident companions who are ready for adventures with you. They love both being outside and cuddling up!
Each puppy will be vet checked, microchipped, and vaccinated. You will take home some puppy food, a pedigree, some helpful training tips and AKC registration.

You can also find me on both Facebook and Instagram at Waggin Tales Ranch and see daily videos there.
Why Pick Me?
At Waggin Tales Ranch my goal is to help each family find the best puppy for them. Every family and puppy has different needs. My goal is to raise confident and easy going puppies that thrive in the craziness of both a family home and tagging along on adventures.
My puppies are raised inside the home for the first few weeks with the smells and sounds of the home. As they get older, they move to an outdoor setup where they get new smells, sounds, and adventures. The puppies get regular handling exercises that make them comfortable and confident. This includes having their tails, ears, paws, and mouth touched regularly.
If you are willing to continue with the socialization and handling your puppies will be calm and confident both. A puppy from us would prefer a life with a big yard or a way to spend lots of time outside. They will thrive on attention and soak up every moment of it. They will follow you wherever you go and watch for an oportunity to play or cuddle.
