Our Story

My kids and I are a small family breeder who started this journey to share our love of golden retrievers with others. We focus on producing quality pets and improving the Golden Retriever breed. We breed first for good health, then great temperament, and finally for conformation. Our goal is to pair a well-behaved dog with a sound temperament to the lives of each of our clients. All our breeding males and females are genetically tested and live with us in our home until they go to yours. They are on a set schedule and get used to the noises and commotion of a family. We work, clean, and train with them so they are accustomed to being in an active home from an early age.

Buying a Golden Retriever is a long-term commitment and shouldn’t be an impulse decision. As with all pure-bred dogs, there is a long list of wonderful qualities that come with each breed.  However, there is also a list of genetic predispositions that each breed is known for. Ethical breeders are a resource for buyers and here at River City Goldens, we are here for you for the lifetime of your pet! Learn more about the breed in our library.  

Our dogs reside in our home and get regular attention and socialization. Our core belief is that our dog's needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire family is committed to meeting those needs and we would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and match the best dog to your family.
