Meet the breeder
I'm Erin C., the breeder behind Valley Creek Farm located in Scio, OH. Our dogs health and happiness is our top priority so we take care to make sure each pup is placed in the best HOME possible, and will not sell to a strictly kennel-dog life. If for ANY reason someone can't keep the puppy or dog we will gladly take him/her back and provide refund.
Q. & A. with Erin
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a farm riding horses and playing with the adorable Golden puppies my mom raised so naturally fell in love with the breed.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are never kenneled, they're all housebroke and receive a ton of attention and exercise. They have free run on our fully fenced farm. Our puppies are born in the house and stay inside until they need more space to run and play, then they move up to their own heated AC room with a doggy door to a huge play area and own yard. Momma dog receives utmost care & assistance every step of the way.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Erin is amazing! She takes exceptional care of her dogs and pups. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience. Our puppy Luna is the best dog and I know it’s because of all the love she received at Valley Creek Farm! Thank you, Erin!
