Loseke Family Retrievers
- Grand Island, NE
Meet the breeder
I'm Christian L., the breeder behind Loseke Family Retrievers located in Grand Island, NE. Started by working with my stud dog, now we own both sire and dam. Lots of combined experience into rearing whelping puppies from mentors and family. Willing to go the extra mile and help train and keep in touch with all my puppies from over the years. Our pups stay inside a whelping box we build and painted inside our garage. The garage is heated and cooled to accommodate Mom and the puppies. Our puppies have been litter trained and we are working with them as their bladder's develop to take trips outside to our fenced yard for potty breaks. Regular bedding changes and cleaning being done to them and their living enviornment. Early neurological stimulation every day, and other socalization techniques being performed with each puppy and playing all hours of the day to prepare them for new homes. Introducting to new scents, sounds, surfaces, etc.
Q. & A. with Christian
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a farm with Golden Retrievers and learned early from family, 4H, and people in our farming community about training and raising puppies. Mentorship from a kennel club trainer, trusted friends in veterinary care, and experienced breeders shaped my approach. I started with my stud dog and now own both sire and dam.What makes your program special?
I focus on raising healthy, well-socialized Goldens with calm, family-friendly temperaments. Puppies are raised in an active, hands-on environment with plenty of interaction. I stay connected with my puppy families and offer lifelong support to ensure every dog thrives.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?
They live in my home.

Benny and Kiley's litter
Parent dogs
Kiley, mom
Golden Retriever
About Kiley
Kiley the dam also comes from great healthy heritage. The sweeter of my two, but both parents are very mild and calm. She is an aggressive cuddler and will quietly let you know she wants attention by pawing and pushing on you. Great retriever and proving to be an excellent momma.
Benny, dad
Golden Retriever
About Benny
Benny is the father to many successful litters. He was raised with me originally in a small cabin, so he loves the lake... but all his puppies love swimming. Very calm and mild mannered, but he can get high strung when playing. Benny comes from long lines of titled show dogs. OFA tests and other health certs. His oldest sired litter is now 5 years old, zero health issues.
