Lori Steck

Breezewood Kennel is Lori Steck's golden retriever breeding program in Joliet, Illinois, about 30 miles southwest of Chicago. The kennel's roots trace back to 1989, when Lori's mother, Joyce Selof, purchased a golden retriever named Rosie from a breeder in Battle Creek, Michigan. Lori trained Rosie from a young age, earning obedience titles, and Rosie became the foundation of the family's breeding lines.

Over the years the program operated under the name Rosewood Goldens before Lori established Breezewood Kennel as her own distinct branch following her marriage and a period living in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. After returning to the Chicago area in 2013, she continued the bloodlines her mother had developed, including dogs her mother had co-owned before passing away in 2012.

The kennel produces a small number of litters each year and follows a co-ownership model for select females, placing them in family homes rather than keeping large numbers of dogs on-site. Breeding females are taken for eye and heart clearances at approximately two years of age before being considered for the program. Breezewood Kennel also offers all-breed professional dog grooming alongside its golden retriever breeding in the Joliet area.
