sunshine, sweet pups & front-porch mornings

Golden Retriever puppies,
raised by hand on a Texas ranch.

From first cuddles to playful adventures, every puppy is raised with hands-on love and care — so they go home healthy, confident, curious, and ready to be part of the family.

our promise

Small litters. Big hearts.

🏡

Family Raised

Our puppies are born and raised at home with constant, hands-on attention. From their first breath, each puppy receives individualized care, socialization, and love. They grow up in a home environment where they learn to be part of a family.

🩺

Health Tested

Both parents are OFA-cleared for hips, elbows and hearts — plus full genetic panels. We breed for a long, healthy life.

🌾

Limited Litters

One litter a year — we skip the second heat so each mama gets a full season to rest. Our girls don't start until age two, and retire after five years to protect their health.

Words that warm us

A Christmas card from Charley Rose — a muddy, happy golden retriever sitting in frosted grass, with a handwritten note from her family in Wyoming
✉Christmas card · Wyoming
Dear Mum & Dad,

I am having a great life here in Wyoming. I get to go in the truck all the time! I have been to San Diego twice to see my cousin Scout. Everyone calls me a spoiled princess but I am not sure what that means.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas — health and prosperity for the New Year.

Love you always, Charley Rose · placed 2022

Such a wonderful dog with a very sweet and funny personality! 🙏❤️ She's by far the most observant dog I've ever had — notices things daily that none of the other 6 ever see. 😍

We had 1 beautiful Golden and wanted a companion for her. Thankfully, a dear friend, who had chosen a handsome male from her a few months prior, put us in touch with Vilena. Vilena was wonderful to communicate with, sharing photos and great details along the way. When we went out to her property to look at the puppies, we found all things GOLDEN! We clearly saw the love and commitment she had for each and every one of her pups, including Moms and Dad. We felt very welcome and were not rushed during our visitation or in making our selection, which was difficult with all of those precious pups to choose from. We have maintained an open line of communication since we brought our Tilly home. My husband and I would recommend Vilena and her puppies to anyone and everyone.

We want to thank Vilena for our new family member, little Miss Oaklee! She cares genuinely about these puppies as well as their forever family. We LOVED bonding with our Oaklee — what beautiful dogs with wonderful conformations. Can't wait to adopt from her again in the future!

Sammie, 1 year old. A very happy and hyper girl — but we wouldn't be a family without her.
