Meadow Brook Farm

Meadow Brook Farm raises English cream golden retrievers in Ellington, Connecticut, about 20 miles northeast of Hartford. Glenn Bahler started the program in 2018 after retiring from his family's dairy farm, bringing with him a background in animal reproduction and genetics that now shapes how breeding pairs are selected.

The farm operates as a true family setup — Glenn is on-site with the goldens full time, his wife Erika teaches agricultural science at a local high school, and their five children are active on the property alongside beef cattle and chickens. The focus is squarely on the light-coated European English cream variety, with breeding decisions guided by both temperament and documented health results.

Health testing covers hips, elbows, eyes, and heart, with OFA certification used as the standard for clearing dogs before they enter the breeding program. Genetic testing is also part of the process. Some offspring from the farm's founding female, Ivy, have shown aptitudes that families have pursued for service dog work. For those searching for English cream golden retriever puppies in Connecticut, Meadow Brook Farm's rooted agricultural history and transparent health documentation set a clear context for what the program is built on.
