Welcome to
"because who doesn't love a Golden?..."
How is Platinum different?
Our dogs live right here in our home — not in kennels or a “facility.”
They’re family members who snuggle on the couch, play in the yard, and grow up surrounded by love and laughter.
Every puppy is handled and socialized from day one.
A Small, Purposeful Breeding Program
We keep our program intentionally small to focus on quality over quantity.
With only six dogs including Ariel & Blake, our active breeding females — every pairing is carefully planned for health, balance, and beauty.
Beyond Breeding: Enrichment & Purpose
Our Goldens live full, happy lives beyond breeding.
We participate in Dock Diving and Therapy Dog Training, helping them build confidence and compassion.
Ariel and Dunkin are training to become a certified Therapy Team, volunteering in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.
Health-Focused & Certified
Health is at the heart of what we do.
All of our dogs are:
✔ OFA certified for hips & elbows
✔ Cardiologist-cleared for heart health
✔ Ophthalmologist-certified for healthy eyes
These clearances ensure every Platinum Golden has a strong foundation for a long, healthy life.
Nourished & Naturally Thriving
We feed a nutrient-dense diet of Fromm kibble mixed with fresh, whole foods.
Our dogs enjoy daily exercise across our property — running, retrieving, and swimming as nature intended.
Raised with Care, Placed with Intention
Each litter is born in our home and raised with love.
Puppies are handled daily, vet-checked at seven weeks, and placed in loving family homes.
Our Promise
We don’t just raise dogs — we raise family members, therapy partners, and best friends.
Our mission is to preserve the heart and health of the Golden Retriever while sharing their unconditional love with every family they join.
Hi, I'm Blair.
The face behind Platinum Goldens.
In 2016, my husband Steven, and I began raising and breeding show-quality AKC Golden Retrievers with a focus on health, temperament, and true Golden spirit. What started as a shared passion quickly became a family calling.
In 2024, we relocated to our dream property — a beautiful 40-acre farm in Lakeville, Massachusetts. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, our family farm has become our own little hidden piece of paradise.
Life here is full and joyful. Between football practice, drama club, homework, and family dinners, there’s never a dull moment with our two wonderful kids. And when the day finally slows down, you’ll often find me on the front porch, sketchbook in hand, surrounded by a few of our Goldens.
They truly are the heart of our home — loyal, gentle, and full of love. Every day they remind us why we do what we do.
Because honestly… who doesn’t love a Golden?
