We had the most amazing experience with Turtle Pond Golden Retrievers! From the very beginning, Deanna was an absolute pleasure to work with. Kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her dogs. Our golden retriever puppy, Willow, is the sweetest little girl ever. She has the most gentle temperament, is incredibly loving, and fit right into our family from day one. You can tell she was raised with care and love. We’re beyond grateful to Deanna for bringing Willow into our lives and highly recommend Turtle Pond to anyone looking for a well-bred, happy, and healthy golden retriever!

Choosing Turtlepond Golden Retrievers was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From our very first interaction, it was clear that this is not just a breeder—this is a family deeply devoted to raising healthy, well-socialized, and truly exceptional Golden Retrievers.

The love and care they pour into every puppy is evident in every wagging tail and gentle temperament. Our puppy came home confident, affectionate, and remarkably well-adjusted—a true testament to the early socialization and nurturing environment at Turtlepond.

What sets them apart is their integrity. They were incredibly transparent and supportive throughout the process, answering all our questions with patience and knowledge. We were even sent weekly updates, videos, and photos, allowing us to feel connected to our puppy before she even came home.

You can tell these dogs are raised not in a kennel, but in a loving home. Our Golden is now a joyful, playful, and cuddly member of the family who turns heads and wins hearts everywhere she goes. We are forever grateful to Turtlepond for giving her the best possible start in life.

If you’re looking for a breeder who treats their puppies like family and truly prioritizes health, temperament, and ethical breeding, look no further. Turtlepond Golden Retrievers is the gold standard!

We adopted our sweet guy from Turltepond Golden Retrievers and he is such an amazing puppy!! Our vet even complemented us on how well behaved he is. Deanna and family were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the whole experience. Lots of love and care goes into each litter and it shows.

Deanna is by far the best Golden breeder. Over the years we’ve had 5 goldens from 4 different breeders. Number 6 is from Turtlepond and we are so impressed with Deanna. She does so much more than the breeders we’ve had before.
I can’t thank Deanna and her Family enough for the extra time they give their puppies, sending well adjusted, confident, healthy and loving puppies to their new homes.
We highly recommend Turtlepond Kennels.

Deanna was so helpful right from the start. She was more than willing to answer questions I had. Deanna made the process so easy with her wealth of knowledge about the breed. Right from the start she allowed me to come meet her and her dogs. She made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to adopt a golden retriever. We picked up our sweet Penny last week and we couldn’t be more in love. Deanna sent him with great information and tips to help smooth this transition.

You know Deanna and her family give their puppies the best start with so much love and care. She provided lots of support and happily answered all of our questions. Our boy Duke has settled in perfectly with us and he is the sweetest little guy!

Deanna is wonderful and so welcoming! Before making the trip down to Turtle Pond, Deanna agreed to have a phone conversation with me and answered my many questions. She let us see where the puppies grew up and we got to meet sweet Chloe (our puppy's mama!). Deanna was available weeks later when we had questions while going through the early puppy phase and she was very quick to respond and guide us. I highly recommend Turtle Pond. We are in love with our Golden <3. Thank you for helping us grow our family!!

Deanna is an incredible breeder with all the right intentions. She is open to showing where her puppies grow up (right inside her house) and meeting the mom, Sunshine, who is not only stunning but also has the most wonderful temperament. She will allow multiple visits to see the puppies and form a connection prior to bringing one home and makes the transition so easy. Our sweet boy Louie is so smart and has learned sit/paw/come/down in just 3 days - we absolutely adore him and can’t recommend Turtlepond more!
