About Us
Over 21 years of devotion to health-tested, family-raised Golden Retrievers.
With over 21 years of devotion, we breed health-tested, family-raised Golden Retrievers focused on love, longevity, and the perfect temperament.
Our story: a love that started 21 years ago
We've been devoted to Golden Retrievers for over two decades. It all began when we brought home our first American Goldens for our granddaughter and her best friend, and instantly fell in love with their gentle nature and family-friendly temperament.
Our mission
Family companions first
We're not show breeders. Our priority isn't ribbons; it's raising Goldens that are healthy, loving, and ideal family pets. While show breeding often prioritizes appearance, we focus on health, temperament, and beauty that's more than skin-deep.
Why health matters to us
Our passion for health testing began with a painful lesson: our first puppy developed severe hip dysplasia due to lack of genetic screening. That experience drives our promise to breed only from carefully selected, health-tested lines to help improve this incredible breed.
Our love for European (English) Goldens
When we first encountered the English-style Golden Retrievers, we were taken by their calm, elegant presence. Their mellow temperament aligned perfectly with our vision, and they've become the cornerstone of our breeding program.
Our health commitment: certified and guaranteed
We certify all sires and dams for hips, elbows, heart, and eyes, and we offer a 2-year genetic health guarantee. Our research-based approach helps protect against common issues like cancer, joint disease, and heart problems.
Holistic nutrition and puppy wellness
Our puppies are raised on a natural raw diet, free from grains and preservatives. We avoid early spay/neuter and minimize exposure to toxins, aligning with holistic practices that promote longevity and vitality. We also help families implement raw feeding affordably and easily.
Kid-tested, family-approved temperament
All of our puppies are raised in the heart of our home and lovingly socialized, especially by our great-grandchildren! With their help, we raise gentle, affectionate dogs we proudly call "Teddy Bear Goldens."
