Changing the definition of a puppy breeder. Breeding and whelping is important, but only the very beginning and a small part of what we do.

When families purchase a puppy from us, they don’t only bring home a golden retriever puppy, most importantly, they bring home a GLENANNON Puppy 🐾

Over a century ago, our home was both a post office and the rail station for Glenannon.  Many changes have taken place since that time and the post office & rail station are long gone, but what remains is our home where we are raising our human family and extended family of Golden Retrievers!

What is the Glenannon Difference? 

Each of the goldens in our breeding program are raised in homes as forever-family members and our puppies are raised within our home. We are 100% kennel-free. By being raised in homes, this provides each of our goldens to learn house manners, live within a family environment which focusses on ideal temperament and socialization, and many of them are trained in Therapy work, visiting First Responders and Front Line workers in the local community. These character attributes are passed to their offspring through both their epigenetics, our puppy imprinting program and mentorship to the families who bring our pups into their hearts & home. 

Our puppies are all raised under our unique imprinting program using the Puppy Culture and Empowered Puppy Programs, as well as with support from Norma Jeanne Laurette – Dog Trainer & CCS Studies. We begin imprinting at the very delicate age of only 3 days old and it continues until the day our pups leave our home. With the very comprehensive resource package we provide for everyone who purchases one of our pups, Glenannon puppies join families who are well prepared to continue where we leave off. This produces pups who grow into well mannered, well socialized adults who are a pleasure at home and in the community. We teach our families to become well equipped puppy parents, who are responsible in every way for their pups to become their ideal family member and companion.

Each of our goldens are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club and are required to have genetic testing, hip & elbow, eyes and heart clearances prior to breeding, and yearly health clearances repeated.  Puppies are sold with health guarantees and non-breeding contracts.  

Our puppies are sold as family pets & best friends, emotional support, therapy and service work.  We not only provide the puppy … we provide the appropriate materials to proactively build an entire family, ensuring each puppy joins their family forever ♥
