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.

Litter and program updates
Carey F.
Litter update on 08 Sept •…At this stage, pups are eating all their meals in the kennels. This helps us make a positive connection with the kennel, be able to monitor how much each pup is eating, and teach them to slow down as they eat since they don’t have to worry about others getting their food. First video of pups shows in order Danvers, Stark, Wanda, and Pepper. Second video shows Steve, Scarlett, and Bucky!

+5We couldn't be happier with our beautiful puppy from Burr Oak Hills Kennel. Carey sets her puppies up for success from day one and truly cares about them. Our puppy was remarkably calm for the three-hour drive home, adapted to our house instantly, and slept through the night in her crate right away. Carey was fantastic to work with. She was organized, professional and highly responsive throughout the process. Her communication was wonderful—she kept us updated weekly . At pickup, our puppy was freshly bathed and came with a thoughtful go-home bag filled with toys, a blanket, food, treats, supplies, and detailed documentation of her growth and training. We highly recommend Carey!

+4We just brought home our golden retriever boy - Delany from Burr Oak Kennel. Carey was terrific to work and I would highly recommend her if you are considering a new golden retriever. She is extremely professional & an excellent breeder. She kept us informed of the puppies progress sending pictures & videos as well as useful information. Delany was turned over to us with a full packet of info, documentation, food, treats & snuggle toys & blankets with his mother’s scent to help him transition to his new forever home. We are over the moon in love with our Delany!!

+5We really enjoyed working with Carey, she was very responsive, caring and kept us up to date along the growing journey of our sweet baby! She answered any and all our questions, she provided clear health and genetic testing which we appreciate and what we were looking for. She worked with us very closely on what we were looking for as in service dog and described his temperament and how well he was going along with certain situations, sounds and environments. She also made pick up day seamless and provided a very detailed schedule of his day to day routine which we love. The folder she gave us with all of his info was very neatly laid out and professional included a lot of information week by week of his growing plus more! Also had the cutest snuggle puppy and blankey with his mom and siblings smell which he also loves!

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
