Meet the breeder
I'm Roepke Golden Retrievers, the breeder behind Roepke Golden Retrievers located in Fair Grove, MO. We are a family of seven raising AKC Golden Retrievers in our home. All pups come from health-tested, registered parents and are socialized and gently trained from day one. We raise friendly, playful companions ready to join loving families.
Q. & A. with Roepke Golden Retrievers
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start breeding when we saw something truly special in our golden retriever, Georgia. She was gentle, happy, eager to please, a great snuggler, and wonderful with kids and other pets. Our passion for loving her collided with our interest in raising dogs with those same qualities. We wanted to share the kind of companionship and joy she brings to our family. That inspired us to begin a small, intentional breeding program focused on health, temperament, and helping other families experience the same bond we have with Georgia.What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program special is the family-centered way we raise our dogs and puppies. Our goldens live in our home—not in kennels—and they’re part of our everyday life. We focus on health, temperament, and early socialization so each puppy grows up confident, loved, and ready for life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
