Hickory Hill Goldens

Hickory Hill Goldens is a golden retriever breeder in Clarkson, KY, in the Barren River region near Bowling Green. The kennel has more than ten years of experience, holds membership in national retriever clubs and follows breed-specific guidelines with comprehensive health testing: OFA hip and elbow evaluations, annual ophthalmologist exams and cardiac screenings under veterinary supervision.

Puppies are raised indoors with the family, enjoying gentle handling, early neurological stimulation and daily socialization with children, other dogs and visitors to help them adapt to new surroundings. Traci Stanton provides regular updates, guidance on nutrition and training recommendations, and remains available for questions long after puppies join their new homes.

Each breeding pair is selected for sound temperament and conformation, and past litters have produced dogs excelling in therapy work, basic obedience and fun community events. Families appreciate the kennel’s transparency and dedication to fostering healthy, well-adjusted golden retrievers ready for a lifetime of companionship.
