Sandleford Golden Retrievers

Sandleford Golden Retrievers, a Golden retriever breeder in Minneapolis, MN, serves Hennepin County and the Twin Cities near Saint Paul. Crystal Hambley has been active in regional retriever clubs and ensures each dog undergoes health screenings for hips, elbows and eyes.

Puppies are raised on the family’s wooded property with daily socialization alongside household routines, early enrichment and gentle exposure to varied sounds. Their training approach emphasizes positive reinforcement from the first weeks, encouraging confidence and curiosity. Adult dogs often hold therapy dog certifications and participate in community visits at care centers and schools. Many new owners remark on the puppies’ calm temperaments and quick adjustment to home routines.

Litters are kept small to sustain close attention during critical growth stages and help build strong bonds. Crystal maintains open communication with families, sharing photos, health records and training tips, while occasional puppy meetups foster social skills in a familiar setting.
