Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Retrieving Goldens located in Hollister, CA. We are a dog breeder in Northern California. We breed our Golden Retriever with a focus on making the puppy's transition from our loving home to yours as easy as possible. Dog parents are AKC Registered, DNA tested, and have passed their OFA health tests. We aim to breed the best animals and ensure quality care. Read reviews from puppy owners from our last litter at our Retrieving Goldens web page to see what sets us apart from other breeders. Puppies will be de-wormed, have a Vet check and first round of vaccines. They come with a week's worth of food, a blanket with the mother's scent, and AKC registration is to be completed before leaving. More information at our Retrieving Goldens web page.
