Stargazer's Kennels Iowa Golden Retriever breeder for the best quality puppies

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

You are his life, his love, his leader.

He will be yours, faithful and true, to the
last beat of his heart.

You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

Stargazer's Kennels, located in rural Iowa, is the formal name for our hobby and the culmination of our dreams and ambitions. We raise Golden Retrievers for performance and companions on our 240 acres. We are near what is known as the “Top of Iowa”, a short drive from Minneapolis, Minnesota or Des Moines, Iowa. Our Golden Retrievers are primarily members of our family and our household. If you know us or our dogs, you might be amused by the word Kennels being part of our name. Our family of Goldens spends the majority of their time in our home, in the pool, or frolicking in the shady groves of lush green Iowa grass while the cattle, sheep, horses and ducks watch with interest. They accompany us out and about on a daily basis and look forward to our frequent trips back to Ohio where I grew up.

As serious hobby breeders we occasionally have carefully planned litters of quality AKC Golden Retriever puppies available to approved homes. Inquiries are welcome about potential Golden Retriever puppies and information will be available on this site as litters are expected. References are available, as many happy families in Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio and across the country have made one of our puppies a member of their very own family. Our efforts exist with the purpose of improving on our own foundation family of Golden Retrievers and selectively implementing champion lines, hand picked for their genetics and phenotype so that we may accomplish and exceed our competitive goals. A strict preventative health program and genetic testing protocol, along with their all natural diet and abundance of green grass and sunshine, ensure our Golden Retriever adults and puppies are some of the happiest and healthiest you will find. We are striving to become more competitive as responsible breeders and exhibitors with our canine companions, and become actively involved with kennel clubs and breed associations on the local, state, and national level.

We hope you will check back as our site grows and our family of Golden Retrievers becomes more competitive and updates are added. We are always glad to share our experiences and visit with other breeders, exhibitors, or enthusiasts who share our passion for all things Golden. Your willingness to share your input and experience will only add to our own knowledge and resources. Welcome to Stargazer's Kennels, and we hope you will enjoy watching as our ambitions unfold and our breeding program evolves.
