Meet Golden Hour Retrievers

About Golden Hour Retrievers 💛 At Golden Hour Retrievers, Golden Retrievers are more than just dogs—they’re family. Mike grew up surrounded by Goldens, developing a lifelong love for their loyal, gentle, and loving nature. His parents have been raising Golden Retriever puppies for over 13 years, giving our family a strong foundation of experience, knowledge, and dedication to the breed. In 2023, we welcomed our first Golden Retriever of our own, and our passion for the breed continued to grow. What began as a lifelong family love has become something truly special to us: raising happy, healthy puppies who will bring the same love and companionship into other families’ lives. Our puppies are raised in an indoor nursery, where they receive plenty of hands-on attention, affection, and early socialization. We incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), encourage exploration and play, and introduce our puppies to doggy doors as they mature. They also enjoy plenty of room to play and explore in our spacious backyard and relax on our back porch. Health and temperament are at the heart of our program. Our adult dogs undergo genetic testing and OFA certifications, and every puppy receives a thorough veterinary examination before going home. We believe responsible breeding means putting the well-being of our dogs and the future of every puppy first. We married in September 2025 and live on a large property with open fields and plenty of space for our dogs to enjoy the outdoors. Whether we’re taking walks, spending time with family and friends, enjoying hunting season, or heading out for an occasional fishing trip, our dogs are an important part of our everyday lives. Each puppy leaves us with a little piece of home, including a blanket scented with mom and littermates, a sample of food, AKC registration papers, a health certificate, vaccination and deworming records, microchip information, and a sample of NuVet vitamins. Above all, we believe a Golden Retriever should be a cherished family member for life. We put our hearts into raising confident, well-socialized puppies and finding families who will give them the love, commitment, and care they deserve. At Golden Hour Retrievers, our greatest reward is knowing that the puppies we raise will spend their lives making someone else’s world a little brighter. 💛🐾
