About Us

Bob, me, Khaleesi, and Kimber

Producing Golden Retriever puppies in our home as part of our family.

We are a small family hobby breeder of the occasional litter of Golden Retriever Puppies. My husband and I fell in love with the breed and decided to have an occasional litter to allow people to experience the same joy and love that they bring to us. We have 5 grown children who are all out of our home, and this was the perfect hobby for us to fill that void with. We strive to produce healthy puppies with excellent temperaments, and they are highly socialized. We also have started dabbling into showing the breed in conformation and putting akc titles behind their names. I do believe that dogs that train and show well make puppies that will do the same. But they all make great pets. 

We raise our puppies as part of our family from day one

Our puppies are raised in our home. We treat all our dogs and puppies with the utmost attention and love that we have to offer, but we also make sure to give one on one, and group attention to each puppy. We do this until the day they leave our home. We strive for some of the most socialized puppies that you’ll ever come across. The breeding females are our pets and part of our family and when they retire they stay with us and not rehomed as many breeders do. 

Puppies come with a health guarantee and much more

We do our best to ensure our puppies are as healthy as can be, while they’re with us, and after they leave. We provide health guarantees with all puppies and they’ve all been checked over thoroughly by our vet before going to their new home. We follow the GRCA recommendations on testing all of our breeding dogs which include OFA hips, elbows, heart, and eyes,  as well as breed specific genetic tests. We do early neurological stimulation on the newborns and throughout their time with us, we raise them using a modified version of the puppy culture program. We introduce our puppies to a wide variety of sounds, smells, textures, and human stimulation. 

Costs

Our puppies range in cost from $1750-2400, with most averaging around $2000. We base our prices on the economy, parents used, show prospect or pet homes, and fees on our end, per litter. We do offer a $250 discount off repeat families since we really show love for those that return to us for another puppy to add to their family. And I think dedicated customers deserve some type of discount despite what other breeders do. 

We do require a $250 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy which goes towards the final cost at pick up. We do require all families to be approved by us via an application and agree to our contract before we will add someone to our wait list or accept a deposit. 

Available Puppies

At this time all puppies have found their forever homes. We will be breeding Loki either the next heat, or the one after with a champion titled AKC conformation male that compliments her. So be sure to get on our waitlist if you’re interested in bringing one home. Our puppies usually find their homes pretty fast, either before, during, or shortly after birth so don’t wait or they’ll all have found another home. Our next litter should have a mix of show potential, service, therapy, agility, obedience, or pet homes. But I can assure you they’ll be some of the most socialized puppies you’ve ever met!

    We love placing puppies with new families and would love to help make that dream a reality for you. If you’re interested in any of our current or upcoming litters, contact us and we’d be happy to discuss our puppies with you. We do require contracts to be agreed upon prior to placing any deposits and we usually have a waitlist for our puppies since we don’t have them often.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please contact us via message, text, email, or phone if you cannot find an answer to your question(s).
    When filling an application out please be sure to add whether you are looking for a male or female puppy. 

    All of our puppies come with age appropriate vaccinations,  microchipped, a vet check up, health guarantee/contract, dewormed, AKC registration, and a puppy starter pack. Puppies also come with a lifetime of support from us. 


    Puppies can leave for their new homes at 8 weeks of age. We don’t ship via airlines because of the stress I believe it puts on the puppy. I would consider shipping via an airline if the family flew with the puppy, or hired a flight nanny but would be based on a case by case basis. They have enough stress already from leaving their mom and littermates and going to a new place, and we don’t want to add to that. We do allow courier services to be used and I’m more than happy to try and help find one for you to use. Many of them have a long wait list, so be there sure to make plans well in advance. We don’t deliver because usually we have small puppies here at the house to still care for. It’s only the two of us and one of us works a full time job, so we always need someone at home to tend to the remaining puppies at the house. We like to schedule pick up times prior to the date you bring your puppy home. We do this to ensure everyone has a time to visit with the mom of the litter and to go over any questions you may have and sign any necessary paperwork as well. This gives everyone time without being rushed and not having to share that time with another family. We try to make the pick up day go smoothly and as stress free as possible. 


    We have produced litters with a very light coats by using a very light colored male (what many call an English Cream bit still just a golden), medium colored American Golden’s and even dark red field lines. The AKC recognizes 3 coat colors in the breed, and those are light, medium, and dark golden. We do have puppies that vary in coat color but we do not guarantee any color of the puppy as they age. We try to produce healthy and well socialized dogs, and as close to breed standard as possible, and although certain colors are sought after, it’s not our main importance. The coat color of a dog doesn’t make the dog a better dog, maybe more attractive in some people’s eyes, but not our main goal. We do try to have some lighter or darker ones for those that prefer those colors, on occasion, but as they age they can darken in color. I always tell people to look at the tip of the puppies ears and that’s a good indication of what the coat color will be on the adult dog. The coat color and fullness of the dogs coat wont be apparent and full length until the dog is closer to the age of 2 or completely mature.
