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.

OUR philosophy

Our Kennel Philosophy

We believe in raising well-rounded, well-adjusted and friendly companions. Our dogs' health and happiness is always at the forefront. At Golden Valley Kennels we feel that quality over quantity holds true when it comes to ethically breeding and raising dogs. We are not just breeding dogs as a hobby, it is our utmost passion and it shows in every way. Our exceptional client care goes well beyond your puppy coming home.

At Golden Valley Kennels we genuinely believe that dogs are part of our family, here to join us on our many adventures. That's why our dogs are our family companions first and are able to enjoy their lives thoroughly on regular family road trips to the mountains with many hikes and camping adventures all year round.

Our girls are examined by our reputable veterinarian before each breeding. At the first sign of any concern, we will spay our girls to maintain their health and let them live out their lives in our home. From time to time, we will have an adult dog available to an approved home.
