Puppies due November 4, 2024! Now taking applications!

Tex is an old soul, he is a laid back, go with the flow, kind hearted boy. I really do agree with his owner, Caliber Golden Retrievers, that temperament is his best feature. But, he’s also an AKC Conformation champion! He is 23” tall at the withers and is about 75 pounds. We have met Tex in person and absolutely love his true golden retriever personality, and his balanced good looks!

Ribbit is 65 pounds and has a powerful athletic build. She has a lovely expression and has a minimal coat. She has a big engine with a lot of go, and has a nice off switch in the house. She produces puppies that DEEPLY love their people, smile, talk and love to explore the world with their people.

Why did we choose Tex? We are looking for some genetic diversity for the long term future of our program and believe that the golden retriever should have form and function. While currently we do not show in conformation, we do respect and value it!

We are expecting very well rounded, kind hearted, and good looking puppies from this cross! These will be great family dogs, beginner friendly dog sport prospects, therapy dog prospects, and service dog prospects. Please remember we take your personal preferences into consideration, but we choose the puppy that best fits your lifestyle so that you are set up for success!

Please follow our journey on our Instagram page and contact us to get on our waiting list!

About Us

Grit and Grace

Our goal is to create an all around best friend with grit and grace. What does that mean? It means we want dogs that are brave, can handle environmental stress with ease, genuinely enjoy working with their people(whether that's in hunt training, service work, or a game of fetch), and are social butterflies. Dogs are a combination of genetics and raising/training, and we are here to help with both!

Experienced Trainers Breeding Best Friends

Nicole and Danielle have been involved in dogs for many years, and collaborate together to create great dogs. Both Nicole and Danielle came into this as professional dog trainers first. We not only breed with the goal of continuously improving the health and quality of the breed we all know and love, we also have the unique perspective of understanding what pet owners are looking for in a dog. We understand what they are hoping to do with their dog and strive to match each of our owners with the best dog for them and their family.

We've both trained many dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. We believe the Golden Retriever to be the best all-around dog a family can have and are striving to create just that!
