Lori Steck

Lori Steck, Golden retriever breeder in Joliet, Illinois, serves northeastern Illinois and the Chicago area. She has spent many years working with the American Kennel Club to maintain health-tested bloodlines screened for hip and heart conditions.

Puppies grow up in a home environment where they receive early socialization and daily interaction, alongside other pets and family. Several of her dogs have earned titles in obedience and agility trials, and clients often note the thoughtful guidance provided during training and settling-in periods. Each puppy receives a veterinary examination, age-appropriate vaccinations, and a detailed health record to foster confident starts in new homes.

Her approach prioritizes balanced nutrition and regular exercise, with access to secure play areas that support healthy growth and social skills. This focus on early enrichment aims to promote adaptability and well-rounded temperaments suited to family life. Prospective owners appreciate her transparent communication and dedication to matching puppies with compatible lifestyles.
