Creekside Retrievers is a small family kennel dedicated to raising healthy, happy Labrador Retrievers and English Cream Golden Retrievers. Our love affair with dogs began in our childhoods, and there has been very little time in our lives when several special canines did not occupy our hearts and home.
We are located on 26 rolling organically-maintained acres in New Salem, North Carolina, (30 minutes east of Charlotte) where fresh air, sunshine and opportunities for exercise are abundant.

The dogs we use in our breeding program have been carefully chosen based on their wonderful temperament, intelligence, high level of trainability, sound physical structure, desire to retrieve and quality pedigree. In essence, we produce the type of puppy that we ourselves would like to be part of our own family.
In the recent past, we have been involved in training Labs and Goldens and have trained numerous dogs (including our own) and titled many as well in the AKC Hunt Test arena. After purchasing our farm in 2005, we have transitioned out of the role of professional training and are now devoting our energies to our breeding program.
Our puppies are whelped and nurtured in a highly supervised environment with exposure to many different stimuli (other animals, children, noises, and water) that ensure a well-rounded and confident puppy.
They are highly integrated into our daily lives and receive a lot of individual attention. By six weeks of age, the puppies have begun crate training and are spending periods of time separated from their littermates - adjusting to being individuals rather than part of the litter. We have found this is very beneficial in easing the transition to their new homes.
Creekside Retriever puppies are eligible for registration with the American Kennel Club (AKC). They are dewormed and vaccinated and ready for placement with their new families at 7 weeks of age.
We have witnessed firsthand the great pleasure of sharing our lives with wonderful dogs, and our commitment at Creekside Retrievers is to raise and place well-rounded, genetically sound companions with other families as well – because we know that it isn’t just a puppy but that he/she truly will be your new best friend and a beloved addition to your home for years to come.
Thanks for stopping in, and we look forward to hearing from you.
