Meet the breeder
I'm Debby G., the breeder behind Gower Goldens located in Howard, CO. Gower Goldens is a small kennel which began in 1984. Our top priority is to breed Golden Retrievers that become an integral part of one's family and excel in whatever is asked of them. Health and temperament are most important and we guarantee puppies from our breedings. The puppies are hand-raised in our home so they are very socialized by the time they leave our family and become one with yours.
