Hidden Creek Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Amber L., the breeder behind Hidden Creek Goldens located in Hayden, AL. My mom showed and bred champion Golden Retrievers for more than 20 years. She definitely passed down that love of Goldens to me. Breeding healthy, happy and beautiful Goldens is our top priority. Our dogs are all health tested and genetically tested as well. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this wonderful breed!
Q. & A. with Amber
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised with dogs my entire life and enjoyed my years as an exhibitor and breeder of AKC champion dogs for two decades.What makes your program special?
I don't believe that these wonderful dogs should be priced beyond the reach of most families. I decided to make my puppies as affordable as possible while still maintaining EXCELLENT breeding practices such as obtaining ALL recommended health clearances, breeding for excellent temperaments and gorgeous Golden traits. It is our mission to maintain the highest breeding standards possible.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
