Wine Country Goldens

Wine Country Goldens raises golden retrievers in Petaluma, CA, in Sonoma County near Santa Rosa. Operating under American Kennel Club guidelines, the kennel ensures all adult dogs undergo annual health screenings, including hip and elbow evaluations, to support long-term well-being.

Puppies enjoy a family environment from day one, moving freely between a cozy indoor space and secure outdoor runs to encourage physical health and social confidence. Regular handling by children and exposure to varied household sounds set the stage for adaptable behavior in new settings. Careful selection of bloodlines emphasizes a balanced temperament, and positive owner feedback often notes the dogs’ ease with advanced training or relaxed family life. Drawing on a background in canine behavior and a small rural property setting, the program balances time-honored practices with modern health recommendations. As members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, they participate in health workshops and breeding seminars to stay current on best practices.
