About the Breeder
At Golden Crest Retrievers, we carefully select canines with good temperament and health for breeding to ensure they produce of spring that make great family members. One of our focuses in our breeding program is family dogs, and our poochies get a jump start in this category by being raised around our young children.
We have learned firsthand how important early neurological stimulation (ENS) and socialization are to a young dog. We believe it dramatically improves their social skills and gives them a head start in learning to love and trust their human companions. Before the puppy’s eyes and ears open, they are held daily, thus learning to trust people.
Our fur buddies are handled regularly; even our children love spending time cuddling and playing with them.
Our Nursery
Our doggie nursery has stainless steel whelping boxes, which are more hygienic than wood boxes.
The nursery is climate-controlled, with evaporative cooling in the summer and hot water-heated floors in the winter. Hot water heat is a much safer and more effective heating source than heat lamps.
We use a unique potty tray system to help keep the puppies out of their feces. This method is believed to be more hygienic than using dusty wood shavings, which do not prevent the goldens from stepping and playing in their feces.
We also use absorbent blankets that are changed daily and washed in our commercial washing machine in HOT water to help kill bacteria.

We Take Our Breeding Program Serious
Even though my husband has employment outside of dog breeding, we do not consider ourselves hobby breeders. We enjoy it like a hobby, but we take it seriously as if it were our main line of work, making it our goal to keep a reputation as a trusted Golden Retriever breeder.
Why We Chose Golden Retrievers
Years ago, we had a few Rottweilers we adopted as family pets and grew very fond of their loving, loyal personality. We thought it would be exciting to raise puppies, but it wouldn’t be until years later, after having had kittens, baby goats, lambs, and chicks on our property, that we could make that dream a reality.
We had several pet Rottweilers before we had children, but after having children we soon learned that Rottweilers think they are lap dogs regardless of how big they are or how small the human is and so our small children were not able to “hold” them. Later we adopted a Golden Retriever, and our son says “I love dis dog, she doesn’t poosh me” so we decided to become a Golden Retriever Breeder as the Golden Retriever was a better fit for a family with small children because of their medium size and very gentle nature. The dog breeds we specialize in are Golden Retrievers.
Of Course, our children were excited about the new mommas we adopted, and they love to play with our adult dogs and puppies. It is our joy to share this experience with our children and teach them the great responsibility of caring for animals. Our children are now at an age they can take part in helping socialize the puppies. Even though our children just think they are going out to play with them.
Our small size will help us better connect and build trust with families looking to bring a special furry friend into their homes. The fun continues as we receive photo updates of the puppies as they grow into adults in their forever homes.

Are We The Best Colorado Golden Retriever Breeder in Colorado?
While we strive to be the best Golden Retriever breeder in Colorado, we would rather you check out our reviews, read what our happy puppy families have to say about us, and decide for yourself.
High Breeding Standards
We hold to high breeding standards and use the latest advancements in DNA testing to ensure we are not passing on genetic issues to our puppies. Our dogs spend their day sunbathing, playing with toys, and running and playing with other dogs.
Well Cared for Parent Dogs
Our beautiful dog moms are well cared for and get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. We do not overbreed our canines and ensure our mamas are in good physical condition before breeding.
We provide all our dog parents with a premium diet and a clean place to raise their puppies. Our mamas have a doggie door, so they can take a break from their fur babies as needed, though they want to stay close to their young most of the time.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
We have learned firsthand how important early neurological stimulation is in the early stages of the puppy’s life. We believe that has greatly improved their social skills and gives them a head start in learning to love and trust their human companions. Now that we have seen the improvement it has made, we incorporate ENS with all our litters. Before the puppy’s eyes and ears open, they are held daily, thus learning to trust people. The Golden Retriever puppies we raise will have completed the Super Dog Program (ENS) by 2 weeks of age.
Temperament Screening
At Golden Crest Retrievers, we carefully select canines with good temperament and health for breeding to ensure they produce offspring that make great family members. One of the focuses of our breeding program is family dogs, and our poochies get a jump start in this category by being raised around our young children.
Socialized Around Children
Our fur buddies are handled regularly; even our children love spending time cuddling and playing with them.
“Children are a gift from the Lord ; they are a reward from him.”
