Yarrow Creek Goldens

Yarrow Creek Goldens is a Golden retriever breeder in Ackley, Iowa, in north-central Iowa near Waterloo. They work with national retriever clubs, maintain AKC registration, and perform recommended health screenings for hips, elbows and eyes. Puppies are raised indoors and on the family farm, where they receive daily socialization with children, other pets and regular visitors, fostering early confidence and adaptability.

The kennel’s setup includes climate-controlled whelping areas and secure outdoor runs that encourage safe exploration. Attention to gentle handling and exposure to varied sounds helps build confident, well-adjusted dogs through supervised outings. Adults from the program often participate in local obedience and therapy evaluations, reflecting a thoughtful approach to temperament. Ongoing guidance on nutrition and exercise is offered to support smooth transitions for new families.
