Golden Child Kennels

Golden Child Kennels raises golden retrievers in Gilbert, Arizona, part of the Phoenix metro area in the East Valley. Run by Tessie Critchfield as a hobby kennel with limited litters, the program is oriented toward producing show-quality dogs for companion and family homes.

All parent dogs are AKC registered and carry full OFA clearances covering hips, elbows, heart, and eyes, with health testing standards guided by membership in the Golden Retriever Club of America. Goldens of various colors, sizes, and lineages are part of the program, and the kennel aims to reflect the breadth of the breed rather than a single bloodline type.

Puppies are raised inside the family home from birth, kept in climate-controlled comfort and surrounded by the everyday sounds of household life — vacuums, televisions, and similar ambient noise — to encourage early socialization. Outdoor time begins around six weeks to support natural development, and each litter receives veterinary checks, vaccinations, and microchipping before going to their new homes. For anyone seeking golden retriever puppies in Arizona from a health-tested, home-raised program, Golden Child Kennels represents a small-scale, family-focused option in the greater Phoenix area.
