Our Dogs Are Family
At Royal Golden Retrievers, our dogs are part of our family. By meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs, we raise Golden Retrievers that are healthy, gentle, loyal, confident, and eager to please. Our dogs are raised alongside our children and enjoy everyday family life — from outdoor adventures and walks to car rides, 4-H activities, and even serving as therapy dogs in our local school.
Health & Ethical Breeding
We are committed to ethical breeding practices. Each dog selected for our program is AKC-registered, genetically sound, and chosen for excellent temperament and healthy bloodlines. All of our adult English Cream Goldens undergo comprehensive health testing, including OFA evaluations for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart, with select dogs also PennHIP certified. Genetic testing is also completed to help reduce the risk of inherited conditions and support the healthiest puppies possible.

Puppies are Our Passion
Puppies are our passion. One of our biggest rewards in raising puppies is the frequent smell of puppy breath and getting to know their furever families. We ensure our litters of puppies are treated like royalty just as our adult dogs. They are nurtured, given an endless amount of affection and spoiled with love. Because they are raised in our home, they are exposed to the sights, sounds, and smells of a busy household. We provide neurological stimulation and introduce them to a variety of toys, textures, surroundings and people. We find that acclimating puppies at a young age helps them develop into well-adjusted, confident, calm and loving family companions. We love the priceless contributions puppies have made to our family and want you to enjoy the same memorable lifelong experiences with your new dog.
If you are interested in a puppy, we recommend submitting an application right away to get put on our waiting list.
Over 20 years ago our family started breeding American Golden Retrievers. Brandy was our first American female, and our three kids best friend. She had a great disposition, was kind hearted and gentle with kids. After her passing we took a day trip to watch a local dog show and we fell in love with two english cream goldens that were training for therapy work. They were show stoppers! Their dark round eyes stood out against their beautiful cream-colored wavy coat and we fell in love immediately. After researching the differences between American goldens and English goldens we knew we were 100% ready to switch to the English (European) type of Golden Retrievers, for It wasn’t until 2009 when we finally found the right puppy to start our own line of English Goldens. Rudy was our first male and was everything we dreamed of. He came from a champion pedigree, had great conformation, a calm loving disposition and a desire to please which helped him earn his therapy license. At age two, Rudy joined me as the therapy dog in my 5th-6th science classroom and a year later in my kindergarten classroom. In 2010 we purchased our first female, Emma, who is full of love and a perfect dog mom. She is a puppy at heart, loves to talk to anyone who comes into our home and has mothered puppies other than her own, kittens and guinea pigs. In 2025, at age 16 and 15 they both passed away but lived a great life.
