About Us
Love Is A Four Legged Word
At Golden Valley Kennels, we believe that dogs are family. Our family dogs live and play in our home. They are more than just pets, and are essential parts of our lives.
Our dogs enjoy our company each and every day, as I work from home full time as an Early Childhood Educator. Apart from the tremendous socialization around our Dayhome children, friends and family members, our Golden Retrievers enjoy taking long walks and hikes in the wilderness of the Kootenay mountains, and swimming in many beautiful bodies of water all year around.
When you are looking for a Golden Retriever puppy, we can help. Please reach out to us anytime and we will be happy to assist with any questions you may have.
