Bear Creek Kennels

Bear Creek Kennels breeds golden retrievers in Morgantown, Indiana, Morgan County and Indianapolis. With more than a decade of experience, it maintains membership in the American Kennel Club and follows comprehensive genetic and health testing protocols for hips, elbows, and heart screening twice yearly.

Puppies live underfoot in a home environment and have daily socialization with family members, ensuring they are accustomed to household routines. The kennel’s rural setting includes spacious exercise areas where dogs develop strong muscle tone and balanced temperaments. Many dogs from this program thrive as family pets or participate in local therapy visits, reflecting a focus on stable behavior and gentle interaction.

Owner Michele Stephens grew up on a family farm and brings a lifelong commitment to responsible breeding. Several lines include dogs with champion titles and working ancestry that inform sound temperaments and reliable health.
