Wonderful Temperament

At Wood Ridge Golden Retrievers, a solid temperament is of premium importance.  Wood Ridge Goldens are loyal companions, friendly, and trustworthy.  Whether you are an avid boater, an active hiker, or a serious reader, a Golden is faithful company.  Adaptable and highly trainable, your Golden will soon be a well-mannered and cherished member of your family. 

Great Beauty

Wood Ridge Golden Retrievers are classically beautiful, with broad, blocky heads and deep, wide muzzles.  Their bodies are well-balanced and short-coupled.  Our adult females typically weigh about 65 pounds, and the adult males weigh 85 pounds. We breed to standard, as set forth by the Golden Retriever Club of America.

Our clients tell us that passers-by frequently remark on the beauty of their Wood Ridge Golden Retrievers.  They are traffic stoppers!

Sound Health

When planning a breeding, we carefully choose the stud dog to match with the Wood Ridge dam. 

We ensure that both dogs have health clearances (hip, elbow, heart, eye). It is critical to breed selectively in order to avoid hereditary health issues.  Further, whether considering temperament, coat, or conformation, breeding is always with an eye toward improving the already exceptional. 

Our dedication to careful breeding supports the present and future health of each puppy and contributes to the quality and integrity of the Golden Retriever breed.
