Our Story

Where We Began

Our journey started in 2014 with one Golden Retriever, Juliet, and a modest plan to breed only her. This small endeavor grew rapidly; after her first litter, the immense demand shaped the future of Integrity Golden Retrievers. Over a decade later, we are an ethical program dedicated to improving the breed and helping families find the life-changing joy that these dogs bring to a home.

 

We have seen firsthand how these companions offer comfort and laughter to every family they join, sparking a desire in us to share that magic more broadly. This led to the expansion of IGR to opening our home to visitors, a way for even more people to connect with our dogs.

 

Currently, we host these intimate visits in a welcoming, private setting at our town home, ensuring that while the space is cozy, the heart and joy of every visit remain truly unforgettable.

The Road Ahead

Our dreams for Integrity Golden Retrievers are big. Our hope is to purchase acreage in 2028 and create a beautiful place where people can step away from the busyness of life and experience the joy that dogs provide.
 

We envision peaceful, open spaces where visitors can relax and enjoy our Goldens, surrounded by the beauty of a small flower farm. We dream of creating a picture-perfect setting for photographers to capture families and special moments—with the option of including our Goldens in the memories. Above all, we want it to be a place where people can slow down, connect, celebrate, and experience the simple joy of being together.
 

Our bigger dream includes creating a small number of overnight accommodations for those traveling to visit Integrity Golden Retrievers, as well as a place of rest and renewal for individuals and families serving in ministry.


As IGR grows, our purpose will remain the same: thoughtfully breeding healthy, confident, biddable Golden Retrievers with the wonderful temperament that makes this breed so special, while equipping families to raise confident, lifelong companions.

​

More than anything, we want Integrity Golden Retrievers to be a place where people feel welcome, laughter comes easily, memories are made, and both dogs and people bring a little more joy into each other's lives.
