Puppies arrived July 16, 2025

We appreciate your interest in our golden retriever puppies. Not every type of dog is a match for every type of home. 
Here is the link to questions we ask prospective puppy owners. Even if we talk by phone, this questionnaire must be completed to be considered for a puppy. You will be prompted to schedule a phone interview following your application submission.

Book an appointment

Our policy is not to book litters years in advance; rather, we screen applicants for our waiting list and then reserve puppies when we have puppies confirmed by ultrasound. With ultrasound and waitlist confirmation, we are now accepting reservations to qualified homes. Only completed applications will be considered for the remaining reservation openings. Several puppies are already spoken for. Puppies are placed on temperament, not the shade of gold.

Our puppies are not sold sight unseen. We don’t ship puppies under any circumstance. The Redding Airport (RDD) is only 20 minutes from our home. Sacramento (SMF) is 2.25 hours. San Francisco (SFO) is 3.5 hours, but can be much longer depending on traffic.  Owners who fly home transport their new family members in the cabin with them. Other owners drive depending on the distance. The farthest someone has flown to pick up a pup over the years is from Austria. The longest drive someone has done is from the East Coast.

We are located in Anderson, CA, if you would like to calculate drive time. We follow strict bio-security protocols for all puppy interactions.

As enthusiasts for hunting Golden Retrievers, we are dedicated to raising quality puppies that do well in both the field and at home.

We look forward to learning more about your search for a golden puppy. Not every type of dog is a match for every type of home. If we don’t believe we can accommodate your needs for a puppy, we’re happy to refer you to another quality breeder who raises golden retriever puppies as we do.
