Rose N' Thistle Farm

Rose N' Thistle Farm, Golden retriever and Pembroke Welsh corgi breeders in Paoli, IN, in Orange County near Bloomington. Tim Halbert has over a decade of experience breeding dogs registered with the American Kennel Club, and every adult dog is health tested for hips, elbows and heart conditions. The farm holds membership in the Golden Retriever Club of America and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America, supporting breed standard education and mentorship.

Puppies are raised in a family setting on five acres, where they receive daily socialization, early neurological stimulation and structured play sessions to build confidence. Every litter begins basic crate training and early exposure to everyday sights and sounds before they leave the farm. Clients often remark on the calm temperaments and sociable nature of the puppies, and recent litters have produced championship titles and therapy training certificates. A local veterinarian visits monthly to support health care and early wellness checks.
