Red Prairie Retrievers is a breeder located in Gillette, Wyoming with over 10 years of experience working with golden retrievers. We dedicate ourselves to bettering the Golden Retriever breed.

We strive to be responsible and honest breeders so our puppies owners have an amazing experience with their new puppy.

Q. & A. with Kourtney

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mother was a breeder and shower of Dachshunds, so it was natural for me to be introduced to breeding and training. Once I was old enough to get my own dog, I chose a Golden Retriever. My passion for bettering this breed has grown every day I work and train them.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have dedicated ourselves to bettering the Golden Retriever breed through health testing, training, and titling our dogs. Our dogs are not kenneled and live normal lives indoors with my family. They are a part of all the activities we enjoy. We strive to be a responsible and honest breeder so our puppy owners have an amazing experience with their new puppy.
  • 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.
