Goldens Retreat

Goldens Retreat, Golden retrievers, Ephrata, PA, Lancaster County near Lancaster, offers a family-run breeding program. Tim and Cathy Krauter are longtime members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, and all adult dogs undergo hip and elbow evaluations along with routine health screenings. Puppies grow up indoors on their farm, enjoying regular socialization with children and other household pets before joining new homes.

Their breeding philosophy emphasizes early learning, with pups introduced to basic obedience exercises and leash etiquette in familiar surroundings. Puppies share living space with retired family dogs and free-range access to securely fenced pastures, encouraging balanced exercise and social confidence. Families often note the steady temperament and eagerness to learn that stems from this nurturing home environment. They maintain small litter sizes to dedicate individual attention, and they remain available to households for ongoing guidance on health and behavior.
