Welcome to Gaines Kennel

Thank you for your interest in our kennel.  Golden Retrievers have been part of our family for over thirty years.  We purchased our first Golden, Heidi's Teddy Bear, in 1977.  He was such a wonderful dog and when he passed on we knew we could not be without a Golden Retriever.  Teddy will be in our hearts forever and we are so thankful that he came into our lives.  Our first female named Madison, was purchased a few years later and became our foundation bitch.  She was a beautiful girl and produced several litters of gorgeous puppies.  We learned so much from our first dogs and continue to learn with each litter.  Our veterinarian educated us on the importance of breeding dogs that only possess superior qualities.  We make certain that proper socialization, conformation,  and careful selection to a well balanced personality  are an integral part of  our breeding program.

It is our goal to provide the best companions possible for each person or family.  Our puppies stay with our family until they are 9 weeks old to ensure a great start with their mother and littermates.  It is our experience that proper socialization within the litter and with our family  from the start will carry through the life of the dog.  Our litters are raised inside our home with our family during the time they are here.  Our puppies are veterinary checked, given their first vaccinations and are wormed prior to going to their new home.  We are also always available to help you with any questions or concerns throughout the life of your dog.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
