Tradition Golden Retrievers

Tradition Golden Retrievers, golden retrievers, Chehalis, WA, Lewis County and the Olympia area. Tradition Golden Retrievers is a family-run kennel led by Laura Braun with more than a decade of hands-on experience breeding golden retrievers in the Pacific Northwest. The kennel holds membership in American Kennel Club parent clubs and follows recommended health testing protocols for hips, elbows, and eyes through recognized veterinary programs. Puppies are raised inside the home with daily supervised socialization, gentle handling, early neurological stimulation exercises, and gradual exposure to common household and outdoor sounds.

Set on a scenic ten-acre property at the edge of the Chehalis River basin, pups enjoy supervised play sessions that build confidence, coordination, and early social skills. Breeding stock is carefully selected from proven lines known for sound structure, balanced temperament, strong retrieving drive, and longevity. Several young dogs have gone on to earn obedience titles, participate in tracking events, or serve as therapy companions, reflecting the kennel’s emphasis on well-rounded training and gentle nature. Each puppy undergoes thorough veterinary checks, including vaccinations and health screenings, before joining its new family.
