    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Genevieve and Golden Meadows, and could not recommend her more highly. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, and it was clear how deeply she cares about her work and, most importantly, about every one of her pups. Her knowledge, transparency, and commitment to both the medical and psychological well-being of her dogs truly set her apart. She was so accommodating throughout the visiting and selection process, opening her home to us and making sure we felt comfortable, informed, and confident in our decision. We never felt rushed or pressured, only supported in finding the right fit for our lifestyle. Her breeding practices speak for themselves. Our puppy came to us already crate-trained and puppy pad trained, which made the transition home so much smoother than we ever expected. On top of that, his temperament is fantastic, which we credit to the thoughtful psychological evaluations she conducts with her litters. The framework she provided ahead of time helped us understand what to expect from each puppy’s personality and made the entire decision-making process much easier and more informed. We are completely in love with our puppy and feel so grateful to have found a breeder who is this ethical, intentional, and genuinely invested in setting both the dogs and their future families up for success. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.

    Genevieve was nothing short of amazing during our search for our girl Remi. She is knowledgeable and communicative, and the love she has for her dogs is incredible. We highly recommend reaching out to Genevieve when you are searching for the perfect puppy! We know that no matter the date or time, she will help us in our journey of Golden Retriever ownership. I highly recommend Genevieve and Golden Meadows of Utah.

    I am thrilled with Genevieve from Golden Meadows of Utah. This has been a wonderful informative experience. It was Saturday 6/28/25 that my husband and I agreed that we wanted a Golden Retriever puppy. I contacted Good Dog and then we were referred to Genevieve the breeder. I shared my thoughts about having a Golden Retriever puppy as our companion since we are both retired and we would have the time and energy to handle a new puppy. Well, Genevieve arranged for an in-depth interview where she so carefully told us about her breeding practices and guidelines. I was so impressed with her knowledge as a breeder and her “purpose” in helping pediatric patients with special needs and those individuals affected by trauma. It warmed my heart, really. We have two young grandchildren, a girl eight and a boy three who will be thrilled for this new addition to our family. The stars were aligned! Genevieve approved of us and we had an appointment to meet the puppies on Sunday 6/29/25. Golden Meadows of Utah has extensive benefits when purchasing one of their puppies. They are open 7 days a week from 9am-9pm and after hours in emergency. They are here for us and our puppy for the life of our pet. If I have questions or concerns while caring for our pet, Genevieve is there for us. They offer a 12-24 month Health Guarantee as long as the fair guidelines in the written contract are met. The parent dogs of each puppy are genetically tested and cleared with the highest standards prior to breeding, as outlined by the Golden Retriever of America (GRCA) and the Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA). There is an Eye Guarantee, Hips & Elbow Guarantee. No osteoarthritis, just displasia. Refunds or replacements (next litter) are fair and balanced for both parties. The guidelines in the Golden Meadows of Utah 12-24 month are made out of the love for your dog/puppy, and the health and welfare as she/he is growing up. Genevieve is a professional breeder and a person I can trust and rely on for the best experience I could ever have asked for. Our female 9 week old puppy is beautiful and perfectly tempered. We are so in love with her and we have Genevieve’s love and care for her parent dogs and puppies to thank for this. Our many regards to Golden Meadows of Utah.

    Genevieve from Golden Meadows of Utah is nothing short of amazing! Her love and care for all her Goldens radiates from within. She is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and kept me up to date through the entire process. I feel like I made a friend for life. I would highly recommend Genevieve - I adore my new puppy 🐶

    It was amazing. She was very thorough with medical on mom and dad and the puppies. She gave a complete rundown on the puppies. She makes sure they eat only the healthiest food and snacks. She gave us food and snacks to last probably two weeks. That way we could stay home and enjoy our new puppy without worrying about running to the store. The puppies were well on their way to being paper trained. The puppies were bred for being of the temperament for being service dogs. Our little girl had the best temperament. Extremely happy and acclimated to living with us overnight. She is the sweetest little puppy I’ve ever ever had the experience of having as a puppy. I cannot believe how well she went from her mama to us.
