We have been involved with Golden Retrievers for over 25 years, with our first litter being born in 2010.
We are a small breeder located in New England, outside of Boston, that breeds a litter every couple of years, focusing on producing puppies who working/performance, and active pet homes. Our Puppies are raised in our home where we provide them with a variety of environmental stimulation and opportunities for socialization. (see how we raise our puppies).
When considering breeding our next litter we choose from well-bred Golden Retrievers from healthy, long-lived, proven working lines with true Golden Retriever temperaments. Our dogs compete in multiple venues including Agility, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Hunt Tests, and Tracking. Several of our dogs have achieved high-level titles. A couple of our puppies have also excelled as Search and Rescue dogs.
Our goal with each litter is to produce healthy, physically and mentally sound, good-looking puppies who love to work, but are just as happy to laze beside their owners by the fire. Litters are bred on a limited basis, so contact us if you’re interested in a puppy, or check out our puppies page for more information.
