With careful selection of top Multi-champion European import lines, we feel we have some of the best bloodlines available in the U.S. We are a small hobby breeder in Tennessee and our passion is only golden retrievers and our goal is to continue to improve the Golden Retriever Breed Standard. Although we do not enter the show ring ourselves, many of our dogs are show worthy.
