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.

Our puppies are raised in our home, We utilize puppy culture to expose the puppies to touch and sound daily. They interact with their littermates, mom and our other very gentle family pets. We enjoy introducing them to new things and creating positive experiences from day 1. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, and Various sounds.
Our puppies come from genetically clear parents that have had certifications done to ensure a good start. We take each puppy in for a full veterinarian exam prior to going home as well.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Toys, Vet records, Microchip, Registration, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, and Food & treats.
Robin offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“Our puppies are generally picked up here at our home but sometimes circumstances warrant us meeting half way or meeting at the airport. We are willing to work with you if possible. Please understand that with large litters sometimes delivery is not possible.”
Why Robin started breeding
I decided to breed after getting our first golden. They are just amazing dogs. I cannot think of a better family companion for any home.

Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
