Legacy Country Goldens

Legacy Country Goldens, golden retrievers, Wellman, IA, in southeastern Iowa near Cedar Rapids, is a family kennel dedicated to healthy, well-adjusted puppies. Owner Sharon Zook has been caring for golden retrievers for many years and ensures every puppy is registered with the American Kennel Club and screened for hip and elbow health through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.

Puppies live indoors as part of the household and enjoy daily socialization with children, adults, and other pets before exploring a spacious, fenced yard. Early enrichment includes exposure to household sounds and positive handling to foster confidence. The farmstead setting includes pasture access and quiet country surroundings that help develop calm, outgoing personalities, as noted by several families who praise the dogs’ friendly nature.

Prospective adopters often meet the dogs in their home before choosing, gaining a firsthand look at the daily care routine. Ongoing support is available for new owners, with advice on training, nutrition, and wellness to help puppies settle smoothly into their families.
