Kerry’s experience

  • About Kerry

    I retired from the practice of law to raise Golden Retrievers 12 years ago. I am obsessed, and I research to the nth degree. I am extremely passionate about pairing families with the right fit and raising puppies who are maximized to their full potential.

  • What makes Kerry’s program special

    We are profoundly hands-on. Our puppies are raised in the middle of our home with over the top socialization protocols. Many breeders follow our IG page in order to implement our protocols (we have 120,000 followers), as what we do is both unique and effective. Dozens of our pups serve as therapy dogs in their communities, or are just fabulous, safe, affectionate family members.

Kerry has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion.

“Puppies come with their first round of vaccinations, health insurance, a microchip, a vet exam, a calming collar, a heartbeat stuffy, and beginning obedience training. All puppies are the same price.”

Kerry may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
