Meet the breeder

I'm Anabelle K., the breeder behind Elm Hollow Golden Retrievers located in Lafayette, AL. We breed only fully tested AKC parents. We have over 20 years of experience.

We are dedicated to achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and we love to raise puppies and prepare them for their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Anabelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding for our family started in the very early 2000s with our first AKC field golden, Lucy. It has been a labor of love since and has been spread to our family.
  • What makes your program special?

    We not only utilize genetic testing but all of the breed-recommended OFA testing as well. Our dogs are family and we only breed dogs who pass rigorous health and temperament testing.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
