Whalenswonderfulgoldenretrievers is a Golden retriever breeder in Kerhonkson, NY, located in Ulster County and the Hudson Valley near Albany. Cathleen Whalen has been caring for Golden retrievers for more than fifteen years, maintains AKC registration and follows recommended health testing protocols.

Her dogs live indoors with frequent supervised outdoor time, and puppies grow up with daily interaction among family members and household routines. Breeding stock undergoes temperament assessments, and puppies are exposed to children, sounds and various surfaces before joining their new homes. Prospective buyers have highlighted clear communication and ongoing guidance as part of Whalen’s supportive approach.

The kennel’s location near the Catskill Mountains provides ample space for walks and gentle socialization in a rural setting. She participates in regional Golden retriever club events and shares puppy socialization workshops with new owners. All dogs are part of a close-knit family where they learn manners and kindness.
