At Gold Standard Goldens our journey begins with healthy, happy parents. All of our parent dogs have great temperaments and undergo not only genetic but physical health testing. A healthy puppy begins with healthy parents. It is important that our parent dogs are the best examples of what a Golden Retriever should be in order to breed the best puppies.

Our moms are well prepared to bring their puppies into the world. Once their due date approaches, moms are integrated into their whelping area. During whelping, our moms receive delivery assistance as needed and are under our constant supervision.

About Us
We are a small breeder of AKC Golden Retrievers! We are located in Peyton, Colorado (about 25 minutes outside of Colorado Springs). Our goal is to raise top quality golden retrievers so that families can experience these amazing dogs as we do. All of our dogs are family members and live with us in our home. We live out in the country on 2.5 acres! We began this journey to bring families the same joy of a Golden Retriever as our dogs have brought us!
