Our Values

We are dedicated to raising more than just golden retrievers — we’re creating lifelong companions. Our commitment to excellence and love for what we do sets us apart. Here’s how:

Healthy, Diverse genetics, and Champion pedigrees 

The health and happiness of our dogs is paramount. We raise our puppies in a natural enviorment to lessen the risk of disease in our dogs. We ensure that every dog in our care receives quality integrated veterinary care, premium and fresh food, training, socialization, grooming and age appropriate exercise. Our breeding program focuses on strong diverse genetics to reduce the risk of hereditary health issues, ensuring that your new family member is both healthy as well as sound and remains in your family for many years to come.

Natural Pet Care and Nutrition

When ever possible we prefer to use natural, and botonical pet care products for our golden retrivers to lessen the eviromental toxins in our home and on our pets. We recommend tested effective products which we use regularly with sucess for prevention of fleas, ticks and mosquitos. We work with our integrated veternarians to ensure each golden family member has a custom plan for health care and balanced nutrition. In a breed with numerous health issues we want to be cautious about the way in which we care for them day to day. It is our desire to have longevity in our pedigrees. 

Ethical Breeding Practices

We practice responsible and ethical breeding according to the Golden Retriver Club of America breeder code of ethics. We raise our dogs in our home as cherished family members. We follow strict quality breeding standards. Offering only top quality puppies whose parents have been evaluated for health, temperament and conformation to the golden retriever breed standard. Each of our puppies receives the individualized training and rearing through puppy culture in order to prepare them to be lifelong learners and enrichment seekers.

Temperament Testing

One of the key elements that sets us apart is our focus on Volhard temperament testing www.volharddognutrition.com/choosing-your-puppy-pat/  to match our puppies with their families. We believe that a dog’s personality is just as important as their physical health. Our puppies undergo thorough temperament testing to ensure they’re well-suited for a variety of family cultures. Our Parent dogs are certified therapy dogs, titled golden retrievers that are a beautiful representation of the golden retriever breed.

Whether you're looking for a calm, easy going companion or an active, playful dog, with the help of our trainers we match each puppy's temperament to your lifestyle, ensuring the best possible custom fit.

A Focus on early Socialization and Training

Our puppies are carefully socialized with puppy culture from birth, introducing them to various sounds, people, and environments. This builds confidence. We focus on well rounded Golden Retriever puppies that are ready to become Golden retriever family members, service, or therapy dogs. We believe in consistent positive training and canine enrichment. Each of our canine family members need to have the opportunity to develop their individual skills and intelligence through basic training, tricks, therapy work, obedience, conformation or a performance sport. Puppy classes are vital and continuing education, a working dog lives its best life.

Whether you need advice on training, care, or health, we’re here for you every step of the way. Our goal is to foster a lasting friendship with every family who adopts from us and becomes a part of our extended family.

Transparency and Integrity

We believe in being completely transparent. We provide your puppy’s health records, and information about health testing to  ensure you can follow responsible pet ownership.
