Absolutely the best breeder! We purchased my childhood dog from Ginny and Jennifer when I was 14 (20 years ago now). That dog grew up with me until I got married and had a baby of my own. Literally the best dog ever (summer). She was the most beautiful, loving companion.
Some of my core childhood memories are from going to Jennifer’s puppy kindergarten classes to work on training and agility. Now that I live in CA with two kids of my own, i’m having an awful time finding a breeder like this. No one puts as much care and pride into raising beautiful, healthy dogs as Ginny and Jennifer do. I’m going to be looking for another golden soon and they’ll be my first call. <3 thank you for having such an impact on me and for giving our family such a gift!

Ginny Boyle and Jennifer Grant are among the finest and top golden retriever breeders in America. They have 50 years experience breeding, showing, judging and handling. They produce the sweetest, most beautiful, high-quality confirmation, obedience and companion Goldens. They’ve bred hundreds of champions.
My husband, Brian, daughter, Emily and I have been blessed with 4 perfect Charms Goldens. Our family isn’t complete without these precious, loving and extraordinarily smart dogs. It’s understandable that excellent, long-time, breeders have waiting lists of repeat customers. This is the case with Charms. We respect Ginny and Jennifer for being uncompromising and choosey when it comes to placing their dogs in the hands of new owners. It’s a privilege to own a Charms golden. These dogs are the heart of the family, and they deserve to live their best life.
Ginny and Jennifer are devoted, extremely knowledgable and experienced. They have given us countless hours of advice, training and education, all out of love for their dogs. We’ve known them and witnessed their dedication to the breed for over 30 years. Highest recommendation.

I am posting this from the founder of Charms Goldens.
I am Virginia Boyle founder of Charms Golden’s since 1972 now in Pylesville MD.
Over 50 years in Golden’s as a breeder, exhibitor, AKC judge, mentor to many new comers.
I find myself at this time having to defend my reputation due to the fact I was taken advantage by the owner of Vixena Golden’s. I was made aware of negative reviews and I want to clarify the record straight.
Vixena Golden’s of Frederick MD is not affiliated with Charms Golden ,nor myself in anyway. She purchased a Charms dog from another breeder that owned one of my dogs . Courtney then asked for help to aspire to become a breeder, exhibitor of Golden Retrievers.
It is my opinion that Courtney lacks the knowledge and experience to be a responsible breeder. She lacks in ability to interviewing the buyers and raise the puppies. The reviews are from people she interviewed and turned down or became rude to during interviews.
I was not always present when she did interviews on line or phone or just did not answer them. I ‘am sorry they had to experience that kind of treatment.
As I said she is not affiliated with Charms.

PLEASE READ AND DO NOT SUPPORT CHARMS GOLDENS:
I worked with charms goldens for about a year in order to adopt a puppy from them. I live in a beautiful and safe neighborhood in baltimore, but needed to be very up front with any breeder I spoke with that I live in a city and would have obstacles. With charms, we talked this over through several months , completed the interview, and were ecstatic to be on the wait list for the next litter. Once the pups were born, we were contacted and notified that we would be able to adopt from this litter, and Courtney sent us almost daily updates on the puppies progress as they were growing up prior to adoption – and cashed our deposit to commit to proceeding with this process. Finally the week came when we would be able to pick up the newest member of our family. We went in to meet the pups in person, picked out ours, and rushed home to get the house set up for that weekend when we could invite him into our home. That night I received a call that Courtney had changed her mind and we could not move forward with the adoption progress because of where we lived and her concerns about the dogs safety. This was the first we had heard of the concern, this company had given dogs to our neighbors in the area in the past, but without any further explanation, they withdrew and became unresponsive. My wife and I have never been more hurt. I am disgusted and horrified by the actions of this company and embarrassed to have been strung along by them for a year. I wasted my time and emotions on this situation and really can’t believe that they are in this business. They lack bare minimum human decency and I would not advise anyone to contact this company for their services.
