Golden puppies, raised in the heart of the garden.
Our litters grow up surrounded by flower beds and old trees, in the middle of family life — not in a kennel run. By eight weeks, your puppy comes home already confident, curious and used to the world.
One garden, one breed, a handful of litters.
We never produce more than two litters a year. It isn't a limitation — it's the only way to know each puppy individually, handle it every day, and know, at matching time, which family it belongs with.
Our females live with us year-round, in the house and in the garden. They aren't "production females" — they're our dogs, who have two or three litters in their lives and then retire right here, in the sun, with the others.

Breeders, Hudson (Vaudreuil-Soulanges)
Three commitments, for every puppy.
They apply to every litter we produce, without exception and at no extra cost.
Health-tested before breeding
Our breeding dogs pass the screenings recommended for the breed — hips, elbows, heart and eyes — before any litter. Results are handed to you in full, never summarized.
Family-home socialization
Daily handling from day three, gradual exposure to sounds, surfaces, children and other dogs. A calm puppy doesn't happen by accident.
Lifelong support
We stay reachable long after you leave — first nights, house-training, adolescence, nutrition. And if you're ever unable to keep your dog, they come back to us. Always.
Why we breed only one line.
The golden retriever doesn't need reinventing: sociable, patient, food-motivated and therefore easy to train, comfortable with children and other animals. Knowing one breed well beats knowing several superficially.
Our dogs range from pale cream to dark gold — a matter of shade, never of quality. All share the same temperament, the same energy to channel until about age three, and the same health testing before breeding.
From your first question to going home.
You write to us
Tell us about your household: children, other pets, living situation, experience with high-energy dogs. We reply within one to two days, honestly — sometimes to tell you a golden isn't the right fit just yet.
We meet in the garden
A visit to the kennel by appointment, even before a litter is born. You meet the parents and see where the puppies grow up. A breeder who refuses a visit is telling you something.
Reservation and matching
A $500 deposit confirms your place on the litter. Puppy-to-family matching happens around week six, based on observed temperament — never on arrival order or the shade chosen from a photo.
Going home at eight weeks
Your puppy leaves vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, examined by our veterinarian, with its papers, its first food and a blanket that smells like its litter.
Nine years of happy families.
Camille and David answered every question, even the naive ones. Our puppy was house-trained within three weeks and comfortable with everyone from day one.
Sophie and MarcHudsonThey asked us more questions than we asked them. It's surprising at first, then you understand why: they genuinely want the right puppy for the right family.
Amélie T.Montréal (Plateau)We visited twice before reserving, and both times the dogs were exactly as described — calm, friendly, clearly loved. Three years later, still the easiest dog we've ever had.

Our puppies are almost always spoken for before they're born. If you're considering a golden this year, now is the time to write to us — even if you're not certain yet.
