Meet the breeder

I'm Karen S., the breeder behind Shady Hill Acres Golden Retrievers located in Wiley Ford, WV. We offer loving family Golden Retrievers. Our Goldens are handled and cared for from birth by my 4 children, my husband, and me. Our Goldens are raised from birth to be great companions for children and other pets. We begin working with the puppies immediately to teach them basic manners and how to be a good companion.

Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We fell in love with the Golden Retriever breed. Our dog has proven to be an incredible, loving companion, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is so fulfilling!
  • What makes your program special?

    All of our Golden Retrievers are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike. We spoil each of our puppies with personal attention and lots of group playtime. We love our puppies and give them the best care we can so they'll be confident and ready to join their new families!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Karen with Shady Hill Acres was AWESOME. She was quick to respond to all of our questions, sent updated pictures of our pup, and made the whole process super simple. Our Lewis is smart, full of personality, and the best addition to our family. Couldnt recommend this golden retriever breeder more!
