Twenty Years on the Golden Road
Two people, one kennel, and a home full of goldens. We don't run a commercial program at scale — we raise the dogs we want to live with, and we stay in your corner for the dog's entire life.
It Started with One Dog.
Twenty years ago, it began with a single dark red golden retriever and the realization that a well-bred dog profoundly changes a home. We were captivated by the Scottish Highland working heritage: an energetic, tireless drive outdoors combined with an affectionate, intuitive calm indoors.
Two decades later, we still breed the same way: a few carefully planned litters, whelped and raised underfoot in our living room, chosen for sound health and temperament before anything else.
High Drive in the Field. Calm in the Living Room.
Our dogs are working field goldens. They possess dense, water-repellent dark red mahogany coats, athletic musculature, and instinctive bird drive. And they have a good off-switch: they settle down in the house.
Dock Diving & Swimming
Shony loves the water and jumps off the dock for fun.
Master Hunters & QA2
Maynard (MH30, 4x Master National) sired two of Tally's litters, in 2021 and 2022. Angus (QA2 MH WCX OS) sires our December 2026 litter.
Therapy Dog Heart
Maynard was a registered Pet Partners therapy dog.
We're Lisa & Terry.
We live on our acreage in Stacy, Minnesota. We don't employ kennel hands or hire offsite caretakers. We sleep right beside the whelping box during the first three weeks of every litter.
When you bring home a One Golden Moment puppy, you join our extended family. If you ever have a question about nutrition, training, field work, or aging care, Terry and Lisa are just a phone call away.
