West Falls Family Pups

West Falls Family Pups breeds golden retriever and Labrador retriever in Minnehaha County and Great Plains near Sioux Falls, SD. As a small, family-owned kennel, they adhere to best-practice standards for over fifteen years, ensuring genetic health screenings, temperament evaluations, and registration with recognized retriever organizations.

Puppies are raised indoors with daily access to secure outdoor spaces, where they enjoy early socialization with children, visitors, and the family’s adult dogs. This environment supports the development of stable, confident pets suited to a range of lifestyles from therapy to active family companions.

Owner Jeremy Schelhaas matches each puppy to its new family based on temperament assessments, providing ongoing guidance on training, health, and nutrition. Many families appreciate the steady dispositions, sound structure, and eagerness to learn that these retrievers display from their first weeks. The adult dogs also take part in local therapy demonstrations, illustrating the puppies’ early exposure to diverse community settings.
