Meet The Smith Family

As lifelong animal lovers and over 15 year breeders and members of The American Kennel Association (AKC), we fell in love with the Golden Retriever breed from our very first one Camille. Our adoration for the breed is many of the obvious ones. Their gentle nature, unmistakable beautiful stature and coat, loving personalities and playful character. But also more than meets the eye. Goldens have a good long lifespan when cared for properly, (although it never seems long enough). They make the most wonderful nurturing mothers to their young and superb loyal companions to all who meet them.

We are a semi-large homeschooling family who have been blessed through the ability to work hard, to live and raise our children and goldens in beautiful Middle Tennessee. It has been our lifelong home. We take pride in this being a whole family effort. In teaching our children every aspect of breeding, births and the huge responsibility of raising happy healthy pups. We have land and plenty of room for our goldens to free roam, safe clean boarding facilities for when needed and lots of water for outdoor activity. It's a wonderful environment for puppies to come into the world in. We truly care about our goldens finding loving homes where they are well cared for.

About Our Puppies

Welcome to our page! We’re so glad your here.

This is a place where you can see what we are all about. Meet our babies and see our breeding program. We are always available to help you personally with any questions you might have and help you find the perfect Golden to add to your family.

Our puppies are born and raised inside with mammas having free access with them as much as they want. We wean naturally, never taking puppies from their mothers. As to never cause separation anxiety for them as adults.

We use sound therapy for all pups to introduce them to all kinds of sounds from birth. This helps them to keep calm behaviors with storms or other sounds when they are grown. This also greatly helps with them sleeping soundly through the nights as youngsters.

All AKC parents are onsite and pictures can be seen on website.

Dad and Mamas are Embark DNA tested and kept up to date on all vet records, shots and care by our wonderful local veterinarian Dr. Dawn Lindsey.

Testimonials

  • "The best experience for our whole family"

    We got our sweet Golden Mya from The Golden Girls Retrievers. It was honestly the best experience for our whole family. From our first conversation with Ashley to going to pick out our puppy, and then back to their home to pick her up. Ashley is so knowledgeable and really cares about each individual puppy and matching them with the perfect family. The whole Smith family is so caring and you can tell they pride themselves in breeding these beautiful babies.

    We can’t wait to add another sweet golden to our family. Our Mya has the sweetest personality, and has been perfect for us. I couldn’t imagine having a better experience when choosing a puppy.

  • "I highly recommend"

    These puppies are the best! We got our Moultrie bot from the Golden Girls Retrievers and we are constantly getting compliments on not only how beautiful our boy is, but also on his sweet dispositions! I highly recommend one of their sweet puppies!

  • "It was a great experience"

    Me and my girlfriend got our first puppy, Brodie, through the golden girls retrievers. It was a great experience and I would recommend if you’re looking for a new golden puppy. They were extremely helpful and made sure we left feeling assured and prepared. Even after picking up our pup we continued to message if we had any questions and their response was quick and helpful. We had a wonderful experience getting our pup through them!!
