Welcome to Laurelin Goldens!

Thank you for visiting the Laurelin Goldens website! We are an ethical, boutique Golden Retriever breeder in Chicago, IL. We are very passionate about Golden Retrievers and we hope to leave a positive mark on the breed’s history.  Golden Retrievers are truly a gift and share a unique bond with their people. To have been loved by a Golden is to know true love.

Priorities at Laurelin Goldens

Bred with Purpose

Our purpose is to breed healthy, versatile, adaptable, and confident Golden Retrievers. Our dogs are athletes and compete in a variety of sports to prove their trainability, confidence, and intelligence. We believe that what is between the ears is extremely important. We primarily focus on conformation, obedience, rally, and dock diving, but plan to explore field work and agility in the future. 

As stewards for the future of Goldens, stacking the deck in our puppies’ favor is of utmost importance. We do our very best to breed healthy Golden Retriever puppies that have the best chance of living a long, pain free life. We follow the Golden Retriever Club of America Code of Ethics for health testing on all of our breeding animals, including hips, elbows, heart, annual eye exams, and DNA. 

Bred for Health

Bred to Standard

In addition to proving our dogs’ temperaments in performance sports, we prove their structure and breed type in the conformation ring. We strive to match the breed standard as closely as possible. Good structure and efficient movement are essential for any athlete and for long-term quality of life. And besides, who says smart dogs can’t be pretty?
