Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel G., the breeder behind Paradise Peaks located in Brush Prairie, WA. Hello, my name is Rachel and I am the owner of Paradise Peaks. We are a little hobby farm specializing in Golden Retrievers, Pugs, Nubian goats and Champaign d' Argent rabbits. We are a homeschool family and we work with our animals here on the farm and showing them at the local county Fair. Goldens have been a part of my life since I was a girl and we've had pugs for the last 20 years. They are wonderful additions, so much so we wanted to be able to offer these amazing companions to others. We genetically test all of our dogs to to make sure we are breeding the healthiest pups we can. We know the value of being able to count on genetics when choosing your next companion. We also work with OFA/ Penn Hip and other testing resources to do our best to breed the healthiest puppies within the breed standard set by the AKC. We are located on a mountain outside of Vancouver in Washington state.

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family bred puppies when I was a kid and I love seeing quality dogs reproducing breed standards that are amazing family additions!

  • What makes your program special?

    My kids and I work together with these dogs. There are family pets first, breeders second. I love the responsibility and work my kids put into these litters. It's definitely a family thing!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Pug puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Rachel from Paradise Peaks made our puppy adoption journey smooth & exciting for us. We never had a doubt that we chose the right breeder. She is very professional, yet down to earth, friendly & supportive.

    Rachel was so wonderful and easy to work with! She answered all of my many questions and was very thorough explaining the breed, since we’ve never owned a golden retriever. She was very quick to respond when I contacted her, and gave us a wonderful, healthy puppy with all of his necessary shots and papers. Scout is so much fun and is great around my kiddos. It’s obvious that he’s been socialized around different ages. He’s also great in his crate and has a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend Rachel and she will be who we go to if we ever buy another golden retriever!

    I was delighted with how organized, knowledgeable, and accommodating Rachel is! You can really tell that each puppy is loved and cared for, especially by her family. My puppy (Oscar) came to me well-socialized, desensitized to many noisy or strange-looking things, and very healthy. He's a very clever boy, considering he picked up his name very quickly and will drop everything he's doing (Inside, outside, you name it!) to come running to me! I believe that his pottybox training was the primary reason it was so much easier to get him to potty outside. He's gotten very good at holding his pee during the night and letting me know when he needs to go by standing at the door! Oscar is my first Golden Retriever, and Rachel was more than happy to answer all of my questions. She is also very upfront, especially about the fact that Oscar likes to chat. (Which, obviously, turned out to be very true!) I was looking for a puppy who would be eager to please and enjoy training, and Rachel recommended the best boy who fit the bill! I was also very happy with the thorough medical documentation she provided for my puppy, along with information sheets about kennel training and puppy needs. I am so happy with my puppy!

    Rachel raised a calm (as puppies go) dog who is comfortable with new experiences and new people. She’s been easy to work with and helpful when asked.
