About Espoir Goldens

Espoir Goldens was established by me, Arden. It began as a personal vision to preserve the breed and evolved into a shared passion when my partner, Jordan, joined me in building the program and became an essential part of Espoir Goldens.

I was born and raised most of my life in northern California before moving to Arizona. I spent a few years living in and experiencing new places before moving back to Arizona, where I have settled. I was raised with Great Danes in my childhood having usually two at a time. In the last year of eligibility, I immersed myself in the 4-H Dog Project and UKC Junior Showmanship with no prior experience. I earned Grand Champion (1st) in Showmanship at county and went on to win Grand Champion at the State 4-H Dog Show in a class of 17. I placed #14 for that year for UKC Junior Showmanship in the Novice division. After handling various breeds, Golden Retriever, Standard Poodle, Rough Collie, Samoyed, etc. in conformation, agility, rally and dock diving. I purchased a Golden Retriever.​

 

The program was inspired by our beloved Pascal. Pascal is more than a breeding prospect; he is an excellent multipurpose service dog, accomplished trick dog, animal actor/model and dedicated sport partner who embodies the intelligence, versatility, and temperament we strive to produce in every puppy.
