Contango Goldens

Contango Goldens raises golden retrievers on a family farm in Petaluma, California, in the heart of Sonoma County wine country, about an hour north of San Francisco. The program is run by Annette Foote, who has been breeding goldens for over 14 years.

Health testing is a central part of the program. Dogs are OFA certified for hips and elbows, evaluated through PennHIP for an additional measure of hip health, and DNA tested, with all breeding stock AKC registered. The focus on genetically diverse lines reflects a deliberate effort to support long-term health across generations.

Puppies grow up on the farm alongside cats, goats, and open space, giving them early exposure to varied sights, sounds, and animals before they ever leave for their new homes. That country upbringing, combined with in-home socialization from birth, has produced dogs that go on to serve as family companions and, in a number of cases, certified service dogs. For families searching for golden retriever puppies in California with transparent health documentation and a hands-on home environment, Contango Goldens represents a well-established presence in Sonoma County.
