About Us
A golden’s heart is for their family.
One of the first things that comes to mind when you hear ‘golden retriever’ is just that. Golden. This breed is undeniably loyal, family friendly, intelligent and a joy to be around. They excel as family pets, out in the show ring, working in public service or therapy settings and in the field. Our AKC registered dogs are meticulously selected for only the best conformation, genetics, and above all, temperament.
We strive for excellence in our breeding management and program. Proof of pedigrees, AKC registrations, show titles, and breeding health clearances are readily accessible publicly online and in our own records. We are members in good standing with the Golden Retriever Club of America, the Atlanta Golden Retriever Club and are licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture as breeders in our county.
Please tour our full site to get to know us and our dogs better as you consider purchasing a Golden Retriever puppy. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and are glad to help you along the way.
Our Family
Noah and I, Rachel, have been married since 2019 and have four young children (will update the family photo soon!). In addition to our Goldens, we have a small family farm here in northwest Georgia that includes chickens, goats that think they’re dogs and the occasional cat that takes up residence with us.
I have had a lifelong passion for dogs and veterinary medicine. My husband and I both had Goldens growing up and my childhood Golden, Lacey, inspired my love for the breed. We got her when she retired from breeding and she made for the best children’s therapy dog. I earned my undergrad degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) with minors in Chemistry and Spanish. A nerd to say the least! I initially planned to go to vet school and spent countless hours working and shadowing in veterinary clinics, but found my calling to be a wife and mother instead. All worth it! My love for vet medicine and dogs, especially Golden Retrievers, continues still. Calvary Golden Retrievers was founded as a personal hobby, but involves our whole family and overflows from our home as we hand raise each puppy for you. We hope that your puppy brings you the same joy ours do to us for years to come.
