Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Robinsnest Goldens located in Alpine, CA. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. We can’t wait for you to meet your next loving and loyal companion!

Robin’s experience

  • About Robin

    I am the Robin of Robinsnest. My family and I live in Alpine, California and currently have five beautiful golden retrievers. We have a lovely 3 acre property where our pack can play and run all day.

  • What makes Robin’s program special

    After doing my research about the genetic health conditions common with this breed I have taken the time to test each of my dogs to assure that I am doing all I can to breed healthy puppies. So many of the current breeders are not doing this. One of my goals is to educate people on how important this testing is.
