Welcome to the Claridge Website. Since 1988 we have been heavily involved in the Conformation Show Ring and the Rescue efforts of Golden Retrievers. We have also engaged in limited breeding for the sole purpose of advancing the breed to the AKC Standard.

We breed for great temperament, nice bone and beautiful typey heads. The full complement of clearances is maintained on all of our Goldens. All litters are whelped and weaned inside our home. 

We do sell puppies from time to time. They are of the highest quality, and are backed by the most comprehensive health guarantee available from any breeder. We do not operate a kennel and we do not board. All of our dogs live inside with us.

The nominal revenue that we realize from the sale of puppies does not fully offset the cost of caring for our dogs and showing the finest of the offspring. Therefore, when you purchase a puppy from Claridge you can rest assured you are purely supporting the advancement of the breed, not someone’s lifestyle.

The Claridge program continues to operate under the watchful eye of Dr. Jack Miller, of Miller Animal Hospital in Matthews, NC. Our thanks go out to Dr. Miller who personally performs all x-rays for OFA and Penn-Hip Certifications and the Vet Checks on all litters.

Our limited scope of operation truly classifies Claridge as a Hobby Kennel. For more information on our history, family and philosophies please visit the "About Us" page.
