My name is Linda and I welcome you to read our story. 
​Love of Golden Retrievers is where it all began. 
I also grew up with Miniature Poodles and a Saint Bernard and an Irish Setter :) 
​…. and so the story begins.

​

Goldens are my passion and I love training and showing them for the fun
​and interactions we have with others that love the breed
I take raising, training and breeding very seriously.  
Our parents all have wonderful, gentle, and very loving temperaments, plus health certifications. 
​

Our AKC Goldens, AKC Miniature Poodles are raised in loving homes,  We do NOT have kennels, we don’t believe in raising dogs in any other situation than in our homes as members of our family.  Our dogs have all the love they can handle and sleep in our rooms and on our beds. It is shown that temperament can indeed be passed down to puppies from their parents and we firmly believe that home raised puppies that are a valuable part of a loving family are totally ready upon pick up date to be loved by their new family.

​We started out with our first Golden Retrievers in 1994. The pedigrees of our Goldens date back 7+ generations, so we know a lot about their ancestors.  

When we do have puppies.....
We practice "Early Neural Stimulation" techniques on all of our puppies!
And Early Scent Introduction
​We believe it is essential and very important ingredient in achieving a well balanced, socialized puppy.


​We are located in 4 seasons Spokane, Washington where our dogs can run and play all year round. Of course sometimes in the snow! We are NOT a kennel, all of our dogs live as family members in our home or with their loving guardian families near our home. Our puppies are born in our home and stay in our home until they go to yours. They are never put out into another building, barn, or basement area to live. This is the best way to raise a puppy as they are then ready for the move to your home.

Golden Acres is a dedicated Home breeder of top quality AKC Golden Retrievers for over 29 years.  We health certify all our dogs.
 
 **We only breed selectively AKC Golden Retrievers with emphasis on
Certified Health Parents,Temperament, Conformation, Training for Obedience, Rally, and Scent work.**
​
** Please note that we are not affiliated nor do we sell to any Puppy Brokers nor advertise on their sites.  It is well known that puppies purchased from puppy broker sites are almost always from puppy mills.  Their puppy mill operations can be very well disguised through these sites and even sites of their own.  A quality, reputable breeder does not have trouble selling their own puppies and will never use a broker.       

Welcome to Golden Acres
and thank you for taking the time to know a little bit more about us!

Here at GOLDEN ACRES GOLDEN RETRIEVERS, we are committed to giving our families the best service we can even before the puppies are born. We know how hard it can be to wait for just the perfect puppy.  It is common for our litters to be reserved well before they are born and in some cases we have families on our waiting lists months before our litters are even bred.

We want you to have the best start possible with your new  puppy, therefore we work with you and your puppy BEFORE he or she even comes home.  We want to do all that we can to help you get to know your puppy even while she is with us, so we take extra time to take lots of pictures & videos so that you can watch the puppies grow.

History of Golden Acres

In 1990 it was all about my Golden Retrievers.   Our first one was so amazing as a family pet that we just had to have another.   Soon that became a passion of providing beautiful, loving & healthy AKC Golden Retrievers to families from California to Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho & Washington.   Our records go back over 28 years of breeding quality, healthy puppies.  

Golden Retrievers and Poodles are considered in the top 10 for the most highly intelligent breeds to be found. Goldendoodles are very social, loving dogs that thanks to their high intellect are very easy to train. They make the perfect family pet or service companion to anyone with disabilities with proper training. We hear time after time how our puppies have enriched their lives and adapt to the different needs of the people in the family. Our goal is to produce healthy, well adjusted puppies that will be a loving companion for many, many years. Of course, training is extremely important to have a well mannered dog in any family. If you choose NOT to do the training required then it’s very difficult to have the outcome you desire.
