TAKODA DOGS BREEDER OF GOLDEN RETRIEVERS AND BICHON FRISE
WE ARE KENNEL FREE AND OUR DOGS ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY
Dear friends,
It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Jeanette Neagu. Her love and dedication to all living things, particularly those dogs she owned and bred, was unparalleled.
The Takoda Dogs kennel will continue by its co-founder/ owner, Nevin Neagu. We have a relationship with a fellow breeder, through Takoda Dogs, to continue the Bichon line that our mom started when we were young. Of course, we will also continue with our English Cream Golden Retriever line that Nevin has been raising. We will post a link to our mother's obituary when it is available for additional details and condolences.
If you reached out with puppy inquiries or questions in the last few weeks and did not receive a call, please reach out again through our new contact information.
This breeding business was a passion project for our mother. She loved getting to know all of you, fellow dog lovers. We are eager to maintain the personal service and connectedness of Takoda Dogs.
Sincerely,
Jeanette's children: Nevin, Eric and Erin

These are some of our champions
All our dogs live as family pets
Nevin Neagu, his son and his late-mother Jeanette Neagu, founded Takoda Dogs with their Champion English type Golden Retrievers and Bichon Frises at home. Nevin gladly continues the family tradition.
Jeanette, Nevin and their family have been breeding beautiful champion and companion dogs for thirty-eight years. Located in Michigan City, Indiana. Takoda Dogs breeds exceptional Bichon Frise and English Cream Golden Retriever puppies. We believe in breeding family dogs in a family atmosphere. We believe each dog used for breeding must live the life of a family pet. Free to run, play, sleep with the family and enjoy the kind of life their puppies will have. The same rules are applied to the English Creme Golden Retrievers and the Bichons. Our core values include:
- Breed for the health of the dog. We do not breed English Cream Golden Retrievers or Bichons until we are confident in their overall health. For our dogs, this includes waiting to breed each dog until their hips have been certified as healthy, and their heart and eyes are without any genetic defects. While there are dogs available that cost less the cost of hip replacement, or years of treatment for allegies often add to the overall expense. Dogs born to healthy dogs with certified hips have a 97% chance of having healthy hips. Those born to dogs where hips are not certified are showing a 37% rate of hip dyplasia. Selecting only the healthiest dogs for parents is a major commitment of Takoda Dogs.
- Breed for the personality of the dog. The pick of the litter that we breed must have a family-friendly disposition. Both Golden Retrievers and Bichons are noted for being affectionate and people-friendly. Equally important to us, is that the future owners of our puppies have a dog-friendly disposition. We take great care to match our dogs with the best possible homes. Each of our dogs has a calm friendly disposition. We would never breed any dogs where there is any question about their reliability when corrected or when in contact with people or other dogs.
- Breed for the appearance of the dog. We have selected only dogs for breeding that conform to the standard for their breed. By selecting dogs from Championship linage we are not necessarily producing show dogs but by making such selections we can be sure your puppy will look like an outstanding example of the breed. When taking our English Creams Golden Retrievers on nature walks, passers by almost always comment on the beauty of our dogs. The Bichons also receive such praise.
- Breed dogs with optimal socialization. Our dogs are bred in a family setting and are constantly interacting with people. No English Cream Golden Retriever or Bichon wants to live away from people in a crate or kennel. Does this make them a bit spoiled? Of course, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Our puppies are raised with a maximum of human contact. They meet children as well as adults through out their life with us. You will quickly notice how friendly they are and their willingness to accept training cheerfully.
- Puppy mills = Abuse. We limit the number of litters we have a year so that we can maintain our standard of care for our dogs, who are our pets, and their puppies. Each Takoda Dog is a member of the family. We firmly do not believe in puppy mills and will not sacrifice quality of life for breeding purposes.
