Our English Golden Retrievers are hand-raised with a relentless focus on temperament and health.  Aside from performing rigorous health testing on all of our dogs, we raise our puppies according to a time-intensive enrichment program, which results in emotionally resilient, happy puppies.

​

Raising Goldens with the foundation to become certified therapy dogs is a priority for us.

We are proud of the many Nicholberry Goldens who serve around the country, including at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Phoenix Children's Hospital, New York University, Oakland Airport, Malibu Fire Department, and Stanford Medical Centers. 

​

The full framework behind how we raise puppies is the subject of my book,

Puppy Brain: How Our Dogs Learn, Think, and Love — a USA Today bestseller.
