Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda R., the breeder behind Rose Gold Retrievers located in Morris Plains, NJ. IF YOU DO NOT FILL OUT THE DETAILED APPLICATION YOU WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. With over a decade of training experience, I produce high-drive dogs proven in SAR, detection, and service work. My dogs have excelled in law enforcement roles, including explosives detection and man-trailing.

Q. & A. with Amanda

Why did you start breeding?
I’ve spent most of my career raising and training high-drive working dogs, starting with imported German Shepherds and eventually gravitating toward Labradors for their unmatched grit, resilience, and adaptable personalities. Over the years, I've found the Labrador to be uniquely suited for real-world working applications without compromising their trainability or social flexibility.
What makes your program special?
All dogs are tested through OFA beyond CHIC requirements. I have been raising, training and matching puppies since 2020
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Gabbie, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Gabbie
Ginger is a remarkable female Labrador with a sporty demeanor and exceptional working abilities. Weighing 50 pounds, she possesses a drive and stamina that rivals that of a German Shepherd, excelling in a variety of tasks. Her endurance, focus, and determination consistently set her apart in the world of sporting dogs. Ginger demonstrates strong handler focus, extremely high ball and food drive, and the ability to work with power and precision while maintaining environmental stability. She combines intense drive with a sweet, gentle nature, especially around children, making her both a dedicated worker and a loving companion. As a mother, Ginger was exceptional—gentle, nurturing, and mindful of her pups. She passed on her drive, stamina, and power to her offspring, producing strong, capable working dogs who inherit her remarkable work ethic and temperament
Dominck, dad
Labrador Retriever
About Dominck
Cäser is our distinguished chocolate Labrador stud dog. With a lean 80-pound physique and exceptional drive in tracking and obedience, he exemplifies the ideal working Labrador. Cäser remains unfazed in a variety of environments, including bustling New York City, demonstrating remarkable stability. He has an excellent “on/off switch,” showing incredible drive and power during work while remaining calm and docile at home. Cäser is a beautiful example of working structure in the Labrador breed, meeting breed standards for height, weight, and confirmation. His deep, rich color and dense, water-resistant coat make him as visually impressive as he is functional. Cäser’s strong preference for human companionship, paired with his independent work ethic, makes him a standout in the field. He is capable of working autonomously while maintaining a keen desire to please his handler. He possesses a high food drive, even higher ball drive, and an exceptional water drive—truly a water dog at heart. Cäser also serves as my working demo dog, assisting with Raise & Train puppies and attending speaking demonstrations. He is a proven producer of high-quality working dogs, passing on excellent environmental stability, strong drives, and that all-important “off switch” at home.
