Our Story
About Riverside Golden Retrievers
A family program in Fort Collins, Colorado dedicated to the Golden Retriever.
We're a small, dedicated breeding program nestled in the foothills of Northern Colorado. What started as a deep love for the Golden Retriever breed has grown into a mission: raising puppies that become the kind of dogs families talk about for generations.
Every dog in our program is health-tested, OFA certified, and raised in our home — not a kennel. Our puppies grow up with children, other dogs, and the everyday sounds of family life. By the time they come home with you, they're already confident, curious, and ready to love.
We're selective about our pairings, thoughtful about our homes, and honest about our process. We don't cut corners on health testing. We don't rush litters. And we stay in touch with our families long after the puppy leaves our door — because we genuinely care about how they turn out.
The Breed
About the Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever is one of the most beloved breeds in the world — and for good reason. Known for their gentle temperament, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty, Goldens make exceptional family companions, therapy dogs, and lifelong friends.
They're eager to please, quick to learn, and wonderfully patient with children of all ages. Whether you're an active family who loves hiking or a quieter household looking for a devoted companion, a well-bred Golden fits naturally into almost every lifestyle.
Our Goldens carry the hallmark traits the breed is known for: lustrous golden coats, expressive dark eyes, and that signature enthusiasm for life that never quite fades — even at ten years old.
