Meet the breeder

I'm Jenny S., the breeder behind Dale Hollow Goldens located in Monroe, TN. We are a small hobby farm that has had Goldens since 2001. We are located near the beautiful Dale Hollow Lake where our pets love to swim. Our goal is to provide loving healthy family additions while maintaining breed standards.

Q. & A. with Jenny

  • What makes your program special?

    All our pets are AKC registered and health certified. Our purpose is to provide wonderful family additions that also exemplify the best characteristics of the Golden Retriever breed.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Jenny

Jenny has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Jenny partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“At six weeks, we have our wellness exam from the licensed vet. Once we have a confirmation of healthy babies, we will start having our selection conversations. We start with who was added to our reservation list first. I will want to know what characteristics you most desire as well as the ones that are least desired. I will give you my opinion as to which pups will best match your wish list. From the puppies I have suggested, you, the new puppy parent, will make the final decision as to which puppy you want. Again- from the ones I suggested- not the entire litter. It is very important we get a good match- for me and you but most importantly- my puppy. This method has served me well over the years. I love working together for the right fit.”

    Our experience with Jenny and Dale Hollow Goldens was exceptional. It is apparent she has a deep love for Goldens and strives to produce the best pups she can. She was willing and open to discuss hep breeding and her time with the pups before placing in their forever homes. We’ve had Tiller for just over 1 week and he’s the best addition to our home and hearts.

    Jenny was amazing! She was very responsive, we got on the waitlist before Miss Kate was even pregnant. She provided updates of the pregnancy confirmation and weekly updates once the puppies were born. She is very knowledgeable of the breed and truly cares for the dogs she breeds. She also is very helpful and always responds if we have questions about Miss Molly. 10/10 would recommend!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Jenny! She was incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Our sweet girl Kya is adjusting beautifully to her new home, and it’s clear she was raised with so much love and care. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a happy, healthy golden retriever puppy!

    We honestly cannot thank Jenny from Dale Hollow Goldens enough for bringing Rex into our lives. Rex has settled in beautifully and is already my son’s best buddy and constant companion. Watching their bond grow so quickly has truly been heartwarming for our family. From the very first day, Jenny was incredibly kind, supportive, patient, and reassuring throughout the entire process until Rex safely reached his forever home. Her genuine love and care for her puppies truly shine through in every interaction. A heartfelt thank you as well for the beautiful mug and all the thoughtful Rex supplies — it meant so much to us and made Rex’s transition even more special. We were also so impressed by how thorough and organized Jenny was with Rex’s vaccination and medical records, which made his first wellness vet visit completely smooth and stress-free. These photos are of our sweet Rex settling into his forever home, already filling our days with love, joy, and puppy cuddles. Thank you once again, Jenny, for raising such amazing puppies and for helping us welcome this precious little member into our family. We are beyond grateful!

    Getting to meet Jennie was a wonderful experience. I feel like I have a new friend. Actually I do have a new friend by the name of Mr. Buddy Brown, along with Jenny. Everything went as smoothly as could possibly be. I have been the proud mother of golden retrievers since Christmas of 1970. Buddy is my eighth. Not only is he the sweetest, cutest, fluffiest one of all, he is also, by far, the most intelligent puppy I have ever known! Jennie is very knowledgeable about this breed and has answered many questions in the two weeks that I have had him at home with me. She responds immediately to any question I have and has been a delight.. I would highly recommend her as a breeder. I shopped for three months before I made my decision and I am sure glad I did cause I know I made the right one.! Thank you, Good Dog

    We brought home Luka from Darcy & Monte’s litter one week ago, and we could not be happier with our experience with Jenny. She was always very responsive, and helpful with all of our questions before and after bringing Luka home. Raising a puppy is never easy, but Luka has been such a smart and well-prepared little boy. He learned to use the potty tray almost immediately, which made the transition soooo much smoother for us! Jenny had already started potty training before he came home, and that saved us a lot of time and stress. It is clear that Jenny truly cares about her puppies. Luka is smart, sweet, healthy, and absolutely adorable. We are so thankful to have him and would definitely recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a wonderful puppy and a responsible breeder!
