Meet the breeder

I'm Miranda T., the breeder behind Gold Rush Retrievers located in Maysville, NC. We strive to breed top-quality, versatile, dual-package Golden Retrievers -- ones that can do agility, hunting, and athletics as well as be the best family companions. We focus on health, conformation, temperament, and trainability with each carefully-planned litter. These dogs can do it all, and we make sure to foster that versatility from the moment our pups are born. Their ability to go from working dog to house pet is unmatched. We look forward to connecting with you!
