Meet the breeder

I'm Carey F., the breeder behind Burr Oak Hills Kennel located in Kimberly, ID. We breed quality healthy dogs perfect for family life. Our pups are bred with health and temperament in mind. We are raising healthy, confident puppies who are able to fit into any lifestyle needed. We are also here for our families, every step of the way through their pups life.

Q. & A. with Carey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up with Goldens and learned to love the breed, and just how versatile they are for any family life. I wanted to help preserve this breed and give the opportunity to other families to experience their love, while trying to limit the health issues so many of them come with.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our dogs undergo full genetic and OFA testing. We are trying to prevent many of the health issues that this golden retrievers tend to have. Each litter is bred with the goal to create an even healthier generation that still falls within breed standards.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Verified owner · Dec. 2025

    Carey at Burr Oak Hills Kennel was very responsive and very helpful when it came to adopting a puppy. The entire way she provided me with photos and updates. When I was able to get my pup the paperwork that came with him was top notch, even the Vet was in awe of how much detail was involved. I would definitely buy a puppy from them again if I was interested in the future
