“Thomas is the absolute joy of my life and best soul dog I could ask for. He still CONSTANTLY gets comments on his calm and friendly demeanor (not to mention he never barks! – only 6 times this whole year so far!) and he still likes to suck on his blanket like a pacifier.”

Pup update! Look at beautiful Momo! She’s 9 months old now (and still enjoys her favorite puppy bed)
A perfect example of how all the training we do early, pays off when you take your puppy home!

Boomer is honestly the most amazing puppy we could have ever dreamed up! I think I may have gotten the best pup you’ve ever had as I can’t imagine a better puppy! His temperament is SOO chill and I’m constantly having people stop and compliment him. He has all his shots now and goes absolutely everywhere with us. He comes to work with me at the store most days and the customers love him. He’s great with the kids and besties with our cat! Everyone knows him at our local coffee shop and he enjoys getting his own pup cup! Thank you for bringing Boomer into our lives! 💖🎄

Before talking to Hawaii Goldens I always knew I wanted a Golden. After some conversation and her listening to what I was looking for, she introduced me to her “American Dream” litter. A goldendoodle had never crossed my mind and after she shared some photos along with more information about the litter, it was a no brainer. She knew my perfect match was in this litter. Hawaii Goldens was knowledgeable, quick to answer any questions I had, and was very patient with me as I chose my puppy. She was also very flexible and accommodating when it was time to arrange a drop off at the airport. There hasn’t been a dull moment since I brought “Honey” home. She loves people (especially kids), going on walks, playing fetch, the water and will never say no to belly rubs. She’s truly happiest just being around her humans. If you ever get a chance to meet one of Hawaii Goldens’ puppies you’ll see the love and effort she puts into them. Thank you, Hawaii Goldens!

Furever after for this happy Golden Retriever puppy!

Dear Hawaii Goldens, we are so grateful to you for entrusting us with sweet Theo, and we will care for him and love him every day of his life! Thank you for all that you do to care for these sweet puppies and raise them in beautiful health! With gratitude, (Woof Woof!!!)

Couldn’t imagine a better experience from start to finish. The love and care going into even considering this opportunity on both sides is unmatched. You will not be in the dark if a Golden Retriever is what you are looking for.

It’s a big responsibility and takes time and effort, but it will be worth it. Our puppy is so happy, healthy and fearless.

The knowledge of @hawaiigoldens and the process is second to none.

Thank you for the best puppy ever and making our life complete.

“I did a lot of research to find a responsible breeder with an excellent program, Hawaii Goldens impressed me with all of their qualifications and with their amazing guide on how to raise a puppy. Hawaii Golden’s founder was friendly and responsive to all of my inquiries, and I had a lot of questions from the beginning. She always made time for me, went above and beyond to answer my questions and to share resources with me. I flew in from Maui to pick up our puppy and she made that whole process easy as well. Our puppy is now 5 months old and Hawaii Goldens continues to be a steady support whenever questions arise, it is clear how much she cares about the lives of the puppies from her program. Our puppy is calm, loving, strong, smart, brave and beautiful. We regularly hear “wow! he’s so calm” or “what a great temperament” when we are out in public. My goal is to do therapy work with him and that was another reason why I went with Hawaii Goldens, many dogs from their program have done that type of work. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our puppy or with the care that Hawaii Goldens has provided us throughout the whole process, continuing to present day. We are very grateful and can enthusiastically recommend Hawaii Goldens to anyone looking for a happy and healthy addition to their family.”

Latest recent Salty pics! She has turned into, truly, the best dog in the world. Words can’t describe – she is cuddly, respectful, obedient, funny, adventerous, and so so so good with our little nieces. It’s like she knows to be extra gentle with older people and kids! A special needs kiddo at the farmer’s market was scared of dogs and she laid down and let him gently pet her and didn’t move – the parents said it was the only time that kid had ever felt brave enough to pet a dog! Truly we just can’t thank you enough and wanted to check in and say how much Salty means to us. ❤

PS She goes on an adventure EVERY DAY and her ultimate love is tearing up coconuts while I walk around looking for shells.

Hawaii Goldens is absolutely wonderful and you can tell how much she knows about raising well rounded and happy dogs! We got our AKC golden retriever puppy from her and he is the light of our life! Loves everyone especially children and babies, extremely smart and easy to train, knows how to be calm or rambunctious when playing with other dogs, gives the best kisses and is so goofy! He makes us laugh every day! In a few years we’ll be back for sure to get him another sibling 🥰

“I met Hawaii Goldens over the internet. We were looking for a puppy that would become a service dog for my daughter. She kept us posted when they were going to be born. She shared photos. I showed Hawaii Goldens a photo of our last puppy we had 17 yrs we wanted one that looked like her. Hawaii Goldens picked the perfect puppy for us! We were not there physically to choose. Hawaii Goldens was so nice helpful explained everything about the process of purchasing the puppy, paperwork, training, etc. We also received a pamphlet on everything we needed to know about our puppy. Hawaii Goldens helped me transport our puppy to the trainer. Then when we arrived in Oahu we picked up our puppy. We have kept in touch and I share photos as our puppy grows. We came for a visit in May and Navy our puppy was able to see one of her litter mates and we were able to meet Hawaii Goldens face to face and some of her children. Everyone was so great so nice. if your looking for a golden puppy I would very much recommend Hawai’i golden the puppies are born and taken care of with lots of love. Not only did we get the best puppy ever we also made some nice new friends”

“We purchased a Golden Retriever from Hawaii Goldens. We are absolutely in love with our healthy, intelligent and happy personality 11 month old Bear. Bear is our 4th Golden and a personal favorite. Hawaii Goldens is a professional and legitimate breeder that can be fully trusted. Therefore, we highly recommend as the #1 breeder to purchase a Golden Retriever/ furry family member throughout the Hawaiian Island Chain. Thus Hawaii Goldens is essentially an extension of our family now.”

“Can’t recommend Hawai’i Goldens enough! Our puppy is from the American Dream litter, and we couldn’t be happier. Hawaii Goldens is incredibly knowledable, responsive and truly passionate about what she does. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the process, making the experience so special. Our pup has a wonderful temperament and is such a quick learner. If you’re looking for a well-bred, healthy, and happy Golden, look no further!”

Aloha Hawaii Goldens, Here are a few pics of our lovable, sweet Lily of the Valley. Lily has been a wonderful addition to our family. She is eager to please, extremely friendly and sociable. We have started our 6-week puppy training with Vivi and it’s going great. Like all puppy parents, we have had our share of missing slippers and other adventures, but it’s all good. With this Golden, we are blessed to have a puppy so willing to learn new things. By early November, Lily will be fully vaccinated! We look forward to walking her and playing with her. Our greatest joy is to watch her interact with our three grandchildren. They all love her very much! Thanks, Hawaii Goldens, for all that you have done to select the perfect puppy for us! All the best, S & S Manoa, Hawai`i

My husband and I purchased a Golden Retriever from Hawaii Goldens on 9/24/2024. Our Bear, 4th Golden, is not just a dog he is a family member from conception. Hawaii Goldens is an extraordinary breeder that not only understands this philosophy but is a profound example professionally and personally. Hawaii Goldens is professional, prompt, deliberate, organized, highly intelligent, caring, loving, and compassionate throughout the entire process and beyond. Honestly, we are a loyal Golden Retriever Family. We have had numerous opportunities in getting to know breeders and dogs throughout the years. However, none have compared to the wonderful experience with Hawaii Goldens and our furry son. Our hearts are healed and we are truly in love with this very intelligent, fun loving, and healthy, bundle of fur. Therefore we highly recommend the Hawaii Goldens Program from the bottom of our hearts! Enjoy one of your best decisions in life!

“Every breeder’s website I have looked at I compare to yours, and none has matched up. I have learned so much from your website and your social media. Thanks for what you do. It’s hard to find this quality of breeder and company in Hawaii.”

Hawaii Goldens was a dream to work with! She kept us in constant communication about the upcoming litter and even provided a detailed packet with all the “coming home” information we would need once puppy was ours. It truly helped us navigate the first few months and gave us the confidence to ensure Walter was comfortable and safe in his new home. Hawaii Goldens deeply loves her pups and invests the time to train them before going to their forever homes, which helped to make Walter’s transition to our home extremely smooth. He’s the most well behaved puppy we’ve ever owned and we know that’s down to Hawaii Goldens’ care and love from the very start!

“We had an incredible experience with Hawaii Goldens! Their Golden Retrievers have the sweetest, calmest temperament—exactly what we were looking for in a family dog. Their dogs are gentle, well-socialized, and easy to train. You can tell that they’re raised with care and love. The team was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re looking for a healthy, well-tempered Golden in Hawaii, this is the breeder to go with!”

“I have two of Hawaii Goldens’ beautiful dogs — Lady and Butter. Lady and Butter have the silkiest fur. They will welcome you at the door each night after work with a toy in their mouths. And later they like to cuddle with you. They are very happy and follow you wherever you go. They love their daily walks too. As a breeder, Hawaii Goldens is a very caring person and is such a good friend now. She has all her dogs listed under The American Kennel Club (they are purebred dogs) . Your dog will say: “I am your friend, your partner, and will be faithful and true, till the last beat of my heart.” Enjoy your pet. Love, Grandma”

“Hawaii Goldens will forever be dear to our hearts. We are so grateful to find two healthy strong and well loved puppies from Hawaii Goldens. She was there for us so many times even though we are an island away from her she responded and communicated with us like she was part of our own family. Hawaii Goldens is a wealth of knowledge about puppies and she had patients with my new puppy owner questions. Words cannot express how grateful l am to have found Hawaii Goldens. The joy that Hawaii Goldens’ beautiful strong healthy puppies have brought to my children is priceless and I would buy a puppy from her again and again.”
