Passionate About Goldens, Backed by Experts
Dogs have always been part of our lives. While Dan loves Labradors and Jan prefers Shelties, we found our perfect match in Golden Retrievers. For over 20 years, we've been captivated by their intelligence, loyalty, and ability to connect with their people.

Though we’ve only had one litter so far, we’re deeply connected with top Golden aficionados across the country. Our dog Teddi came from Jed Packer at Windmill Farms, a world-renowned Golden steward and trusted friend. We also have local friends who are always willing to lend a hand, ensuring we’re constantly learning and growing in the world of Goldens.

From the Start: A Loving Foundation for Life

Puppies are born in the house, where they’re immediately welcomed by our hands and soothing voices after their mother’s care. Once initial tasks are complete, the focus shifts to momma, allowing her time to bond.

Training starts early. Using Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), we introduce gentle stressors, handling, and positive human interactions to support their emotional development. We monitor everything around the clock, staying close by on a pull-out sofa in the whelping room.

After weaning, the young ones move to our heated and air-conditioned dog room with more space to grow. Here, we begin housebreaking, crate training, and exposure to new experiences like bird wings, water, and outdoor activities. They also get the chance to observe the “big dogs” training, learning valuable skills for life.

Driven, Versatile, Always Golden

Active Partners, Compassionate Companions
Our Goldens excel in everything they do—whether it’s upland and waterfowl hunting, dock diving, lure coursing, or Fast-CAT. They’re natural athletes, driven by instinct and eager to participate in family activities.

Golden Retrievers are also known for their gentle nature. Our dogs share this gift through therapy work, visiting hospitals and nursing homes to comfort and heal those in need.

We prioritize health with breed-specific clearances and genetic testing. Each dog gets a Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) number at two years old, with test results available to the public on the OFA website. We also provide access to all pedigrees through k9data.com.

Born into Our Family, Bound for Yours

Family First, Always
Our dogs are family, embodying the best of both worlds. Their "switch" allows them to go from focused hunters in the field to the perfect companions by the fire, enjoying quiet moments after a day of adventure.

Commitment to Excellence
We carefully work to preserve the ideal traits of the Field Golden Retriever, ensuring proper weight, proportion, and sound structure.

Our Goldens are built for both work and companionship. They feature practical traits like easy burr shedding and a naturally waterproof coat, excelling in the field and at home.
