Ensuring the health and well-being of all our animals from birth until they live with their forever family is very important to us. I’m so grateful and lucky to have my Aunt and cousins with Sunnyside Goldens be my mentor. We only breed with the best of the best top quality, fully health tested males and females. Our puppies are bred explicitly for superior intelligence, exceptional temperaments and an eagerness to please. We strive to produce healthy, long-living companions with amazing temperaments.

We believe the perfect dog starts with work done by the breeder. By using correct breeding principles and incorporating some of the best programs and methods, such as the Puppy Culture & The Bad Ass Breeder. Our puppies are raised and trained in our home, where they are exposed to everyday noises and life. Puppy development is our main priority, we will practice daily: socialization, desensitization work, nerve strength, startle recovery, constant and gentle handling, exposure activities - which involve new smells, sounds, textures. We start litter box and crate training from a very young age to make potty training a breeze. These are all very important, fundamental steps to ensure your puppy has the best possible start in life.

Our puppies get socialization from birth, we can’t wait to create a unique bond with each puppy’s individual personality. Before puppy selection begins we will get a litter evaluation and puppy temperament testing to help you decide what puppy is right for you and your home, based on your needs and the puppy’s needs. It is important to us to only meet supply with demand in our program, only when the future puppy parents are ready and when our females are ready we will plan litters.

Benjamin & Catarina
Our lives have forever changed since we got Meadow. She is our golden girl who is the most beautiful, caring, adventurous, curious, smart, loving, protective and most cuddly pup! We are so lucky to have her in our lives and we are so excited to spread this beautiful love and comfort a dog has to some very special puppy parents!
We have both been lucky enough to grow up with the loyalty and companionship of dogs all our lives. Through our program we want to ensure that you get a pup that will live a long and healthy life by breeding dogs that have generations of health tested, temperamental, beautiful lines.
Benjamin and I live among the mountains in a beautiful valley in Eden, Utah. We were High School lovers and are still madly in love. As of November 2022, we have welcomed a new little life, Sterling Sky, into the world. He is as in love with dogs and all animals just as much as we are! Our passion in life is art….. and Sky (; of course! Anything art. We love to create, learn, teach, discover, travel and meet new people. I am lucky enough to stay home with my baby and mindfully raise him because of this breeding program. I have my Aunt Larisa (Sunnyside Goldens) as my mentor, she is a constant encouragement and example for me! She has taught me so much and directed me towards ‘BADASS BREEDERS’ which is a breeder guide. My little growing family is so grateful for your support in choosing Golden Meadow Puppies as your breeder, we will raise the perfect companion for you!
