Our Dogs
Meet our Dogs
All of our dogs complete health screenings before joining our breeding program. OFA hip, elbow, eye, and heart clearances as well as genetic testing is performed to help make the best pairings and to produce puppies with the best probability of excellent health. We also take into consideration the temperament of each of our Golden Retrievers to produce a well balanced and friendly companion, who exhibits all of the classic traits of the breed. To ensure our line is consistent with the Retriever's original purpose, we train in obedience and participate in AKC Hunt Tests and other events to demonstrate their impressive versatility.

Pippin is the Queen of Goldberry Retrievers & the light of our lives! She has a lithe, sturdy build, with a medium length coat that lightens in summer & shows deeper auburn gold tones in winter. Retrieving in water & on land is her favorite activity, followed by exploring Alaska's frontier. She is eager to please, extremely trainable & intelligent. The perfect balance of energy for playtime & calmness for family activities or movie night. She is a wonderful mother and will hopefully have several more litters.

Theo is our hopeful future stud for Goldberry Retrievers. We brought him from the lower 48 and are so excited to train him to be a reliable hunting dog and family companion. He has a very sweet personality and takes instruction well. Following his nose to new adventures and playing fetch are top priorities. His lineage is from healthy, well balanced dogs and when he passes his health tests in 2025, we will pair him to throw his first litter. We estimate he will be about 75 lbs when full grown.

Blaze is a from dark red parents with healthy genes and great personalities. He is adventurous and very active, but loves to cuddle and would likely accept belly rubs for eternity if he could!

We are very excited to introduce his beautiful red coloring in Alaska and look forward to seeing his future offspring!
