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.
From owner, Blair Kauranen
A message to future families
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.
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. Our dogs enjoy daily exercise across our property — running, retrieving, and swimming as nature intended.
Health is at the heart of what we do.
Puppies are raised with care and placed with intention.
Our Goldens live full, happy lives beyond breeding.
Platinum Goldens has proudly been active members of the American Kennel Club Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program and the Golden Retriever Club of America since 2018.
Recognized Among the Best
We’re honored to share that Platinum Golden Retrievers has been recognized by multiple publications as the #1 Golden Retriever breeder in New England!
Our program has been featured by DogBlend, WowPooch!, Dog Breed Expert, Devoted to Dog, Upper Pawside, and more — each highlighting our dedication to health, temperament, and the family-raised difference that sets Platinum Goldens apart.
Our Goldens
All of our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club. Additionally, each dog has obtained their health clearances through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. This means that any sire or dam on our property has been tested and certified for eyes, heart, hips & elbows before being deemed eligible for breeding.
