Chestnut Hill Golden

Chestnut Hill Golden is a golden retriever breeder in Lavonia, GA, serving Northeastern Georgia near Athens. With more than a decade of experience, it is a member of national and regional retriever clubs and prioritizes health screenings for hips, elbows and cardiac conditions. Puppies grow up inside the family home, taking part in daily routines, early socialization and supervised outdoor play on the farmstead. Each litter includes temperaments assessed for suitability as therapy companions, family pets or service dog prospects.

Mike keeps detailed records of lineage to maintain champion bloodlines while ensuring each dog has a balanced temperament. The kennel’s purpose-built whelping area opens onto a quiet yard where puppies learn to explore at their own pace. Families appreciate the thoughtful updates and photo journals that track each pup’s milestones from the first days of life. Continued support and guidance are offered to ensure a smooth transition as puppies settle into their new homes.
