We are a family of dedicated, responsible, and experienced breeders of high quality English Cream Golden Retrievers from top European lines. Our dogs go above and beyond the AKC written standard for the breed. They have blockier heads, bigger bone structure, better temperaments, longer lives, and softer, lighter colored coats.

Our dogs are out of Mulitple World Champion bloodlines. We breed only the best with the best. Unlike the many breeders who simply buy an "English" Golden Retriever because it is light colored, we actually research bloodlines and import from the top kennels in Europe to bring you the best of this beautiful breed. Our goal is to allow families to adopt and enjoy the benefits of a European imported Golden Retriever without having to go through the time, trouble, and cost of actually importing. A lot of time and planning goes into each and every litter that is born here.

Our puppies are loved and socialized by our family from the day they are born until you are ready to bring them home.

Gold Standard Kennel is dedicated to breeding Golden Retrievers from world-class bloodlines. All of our puppies are hand-raised and well adjusted in a friendly environment to ensure that they will be sociable and well mannered in their new homes. Each puppy receives daily individualized attention and monitoring. The puppies are also temperament tested so that we can place them in a compatible home.

Premium Bloodlines
Our golden retriever puppies come from the very best bloodlines you will find without importing. They come from top winning kennels in Europe. As professional breeders, our job is to make sure these bloodlines remain as pure as possible so we can continue to breed blue ribbon puppies. The dogs winning shows in Europe right now are of the same caliber and bloodlines as our dogs.
