Meet the breeder

I'm Jose G., the breeder behind River Oaks Golden Retrievers located in Pearland, TX. All of our Goldens are raised and bred, with love, in our home. My dogs are selected and genetically tested to produce the healthiest possible pups with the best temperament and trainability. Because our puppies are our children, it is imperative that I place each dog into the very best home.

    This could not have been a better experience. At every step of the way I cannot imagine how it could have been simpler. I found my puppy on the first hour on the app and Jose with River Oaks Golden Retrievers had a response to my query in under 6 hours. Two weeks later we picked up our puppy and he has been a joy ever since. Not only did Jose answer every possible question, it was clear the puppies had been loved and educated from the moment of birth. I could not be happier with my decision to download Good Dog and even happier we picked River Oaks Golden Retrievers and got to work with Jose. If you are looking for a golden retriever puppy look no further.
