Our Commitments

  • Health guarantee and ongoing support

    Every Galvan Golden is covered by a one-year health guarantee. We also remain available throughout your dog's life to answer questions and offer guidance.

  • A home for life

    Every dog we produce will always have a place with us. If an owner can no longer keep their Galvan Golden, our contract requires that the dog be returned to us at any age.

  • Thoughtful pedigree research

    Before planning a litter, we study family history across multiple generations.

Meet our Goldens.

Pedigrees, OFA health clearances, and Golden Retriever health records are published on each of our adult dog profiles.
