I'm Taylor M., the breeder behind Oak River Goldens' located in Tenino, WA. We hold ourselves to high standards for the integrity of our program. All of our puppies are socialized, nurtured, and loved! As breeders, we are very selective in our breeding decisions. We prioritize maintaining a manageable breeding program to allow individual socialization of each puppy.

What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Where do your breeding dogs live?

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Hi everyone interested in Sheriff! We have gotten an absolute overwhelming amount of applications (50+!) from all over. We are only accepting homes in WA & OR. We are currently sorting through applications and will contact families we think are the best matches so that we can set up meet & greets. This will require families to come here to Tenino so that we can chat & see how sheriff blends with each person. A final home will be determined after he's met with all of the potential families. We have decided that we will only be sending him to a house (no apartments, sorry) and a home with a max of one other dog as he'd absolute love all the attention that he can get. Thank you all for your patience as we take our time learning about each family 🙂

Hi all! Mazie went into heat yesterday, yay! So we are one step closer to puppies. She has a vet appointment tomorrow afternoon to get a progesterone check, which will give me a better idea of when she can go to Idaho to meet with Flynn. I will keep you all updated along the way 🐾

Hi everyone! I've had several people ask for our recommendations for all things puppy. I'll post everything below. If you have any questions or need help, shoot me a text or message on here. 😁 1. Food- We feed all of our puppies a mix of Purina Pro Plan large breed and diamond puppy food. You can pick up a bag of either, they do not need both. We mix them to accommodate everyonrs budget as ProPlan is priced a bit higher than the diamond food. 2. Supplement- All our adult dogs are on NuVet multivitamin, we also start giving the puppies these at 6 weeks old to "fill the nutritional gap" as they wean off their mom's milk and fully onto kibble. I've used it for the last 6 years and really like it, it's not sold in stores and is only available on their website. They have free shipping!! I really recommend that they are kept on this for at least the first 2 years as they grow and mature. Puppies must be kept on it for the 1st year per our health contract (if they are not, the guarantee can not be utilized if needed) http://www.nuvet.com/187737 3. Sleeping- I recommend crate training as this is the safest thing for your pup when you aren't home (plus it trains them to be OK with the crate if they ever need to be in one during an emergency or vet trip). We introduce the crate at 5 weeks old. 4. Potty- I introduce a litterbox with Pine pellet bedding (sold for horses/goats at any feed store dor around $8 a bag) at 5 weeks old. This makes potty training much easier. If you pick up a bag, you will just have to put a small pile outside where you want your puppy to go to the bathroom, and they will recognize the scent and go there. We do not introduce Potty pads as they can be a choking hazard and are messy. 5. Pet Insurance- All puppies come with 30 days of free insurance through trupanion, I will automatically enroll everyone the night before their puppies go home. I will need your email, address, phone number, and full name. Please send this to me asap. We require ALL puppies to have insurance, at a minimum 80% coverage, for the first year of their life or the health guarantee is forfeited (there are no exceptions). I absolutely LOVE HealthyPaws, they're locally based (in bellevue) and have been fantastic to me for the last 8 years. Trupanion is another good company. There are perks to both so please do research to what suits your lifestyle and budget better 😊 6. Toys- Pups are introduced to toys at 5 weeks and they LOVE them! I recommend having lots on hand. A favorite has always been kongs stuffed with peanut butter and then froze. It keeps their little minds busy. Lick mats and puzzle feeders are also good for this! 🙂

Taylor was amazing to work with, from the moment i expressed interest forward. She and her husband truly care about their puppies and are very involved. I picked up Turbo at 8 weeks old and it was very obvious from the moment he got home that he was raised by people that are truly invested in the long term well being of the puppies. Additionally, it was nice to be able to reach out to Taylor after pickup with any questions that came up. She was quick to be as helpful as she could, I could not have asked for a better experience. I would recommend Oak River Goldens' to anyone looking for a Golden Retriever puppy.

Communication with Taylor was easy and she was quick to respond to our messages. Our puppy is sweet, very active and a quick learner. She is 12 weeks old now and mostly housebroken, crate training is going well. Our vet examined her and was very positive about how well the breeder had prepared our puppy for adoption.

Taylor was lovely to work with. She was quick to respond and very informative. Her family cares deeply for their dogs and it shines in how our puppy settled into his new home. We are grateful for her support and important advice on how to care for this breed. We received the perfect puppy-gentleman. My children are deeply in love with Corduroy and he has stolen all of our hearts. Thank you Taylor!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Taylor. From the very beginning, everything felt smooth, organized, and stress-free. She kept us updated and was always quick to answer any questions, which made the whole process even more exciting. It’s so clear how much love and care goes into raising these puppies. Milo has adjusted so well into our home and we couldn’t be happier. We’re so grateful to have found Taylor and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for their perfect puppy!
