Hat Creek Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Cherrie F., the breeder behind Hat Creek Goldens located in Calvert City, KY. We are a small breeder of Golden Retrievers since 1991. We raise beautiful, quality Goldens with blocky heads & calm temperaments. We have raised four children along with many Golden Retrievers. Our dogs have excellent temperaments and pedigrees. Puppies are socialized extensively in many areas. Many families that purchase our dogs make return trips to us for additional family members.
Q. & A. with Cherrie

I started raising Golden Retrievers when my children were small. We enjoy having dogs in our home and love to share these wonderful dogs with others.What makes your program special?
We love the outdoors, hunting, camping, and boating. Our dogs are a part of our daily activities. I raise quality dogs that have outstanding temperaments and conformations.

I have several local friends who help 'puppy sit' and socialize our litters.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
