Kelli M.

Breeder of Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Kelli M., the breeder behind Lol-Goldens (Lot's Of Love) located in Ridgefield, WA. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. Our program was built with care and intention in every step. We are passionate about the health and wellbeing of this breed, and we want our program to be an example of how to responsibly breed high-quality, healthy dogs.

Q. & A. with Kelli

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got my first golden boy about 18 years ago and never looked back. I had another breeder who was and still is my mentor, she saw my love for Goldens and I started breeding about 9 years ago with her guidance and training.
  • What makes your program special?

    Being responsible and raising my dogs in our home as part of our family. Working with our puppies multiple times a day and passing that love to their forever family. I work on crate training & we even go on short drives to acclimate them to car movement.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
