Who we are

We are Matt and Caitlyn, and for nearly 10 years, we’ve been dedicated to the business of holistic dog breeding, with a particular love for golden retrievers. Golden retrievers have been a part of our family for as long as we can remember, and our passion for these beautiful, loyal dogs drives everything we do. Caitlyn, a midwife by trade, brings her expertise in pregnancy and birth to our breeding practices, ensuring the health and well-being of our dogs from conception to delivery.

We use the term "holistic" to describe our breeding approach because we believe in a comprehensive commitment to the health, safety, and happiness of our animals. Every parent dog undergoes genetic testing, ensuring the best possible start for each puppy. We also ensure our dogs follow a nutritious diet and prioritize the mother’s health before and during pregnancy. To maintain the health of our dogs, we limit mothers to a maximum of two litters in their lifetime—providing the health benefits of pregnancy without overbreeding. We also ensure moms receive prenatal vitamins to support their health and that of their pups.

In our home, we’ve created a secure and nurturing environment for both moms and puppies, with carefully planned safety measures to give them the best start in life. Our puppies are socialized to the highest degree, thanks to the help of our three young children, ensuring they are well-adjusted and ready for their new families.

We take great pride in our ethical practices, ensuring that any dog we breed is never taken to a shelter. If an adoptive family can no longer care for their dog, we offer a lifelong commitment to take the dog back, ensuring their safety and well-being.

We are passionate about breeding healthy, happy dogs who bring joy to the families they join, and we are honored to have spent the last decade helping others experience the love of a well-bred, well-cared-for golden retriever.
