Tradition Golden Retrievers

Tradition Golden Retrievers raises European-style golden retrievers in Chehalis, Washington, about 30 minutes south of Olympia in Lewis County. Owner Laura Braun operates the program as part of a working farm that also raises alpacas, giving the dogs daily life on an active rural property.

Laura brings over 26 years of full-time experience breeding dogs and alpacas, and the kennel holds a county permit and a Washington state business license. The program focuses on European AKC-registered golden retrievers, selecting parent dogs from imported European lineages for correct conformation, bone structure, proportions, temperament, and breed-standard compliance. All dogs complete health and genetic testing before breeding, with results recorded in the OFA database and available for buyer review. Natural breedings and natural births are standard practice, and females are not bred on every heat cycle or past six years of age.

Puppies are born inside the house and handled daily from birth. The kennel does not use crates or cages outside of transport, and all dogs live as household companions. Those looking for golden retriever puppies in Washington from European lines will find the program built around a low-stress upbringing that Laura describes as centered on love, guidance, and consistent, gentle handling rather than rigid early correction.
