I grew up with golden retrievers when I was a child. My first Golden retriever was named Willow. Willow would always drive squirrels to this one big hemlock tree that was alone in a field for me. Almost every year I would limit out by shooting the squirrels out of this one tree. Those memories is why I got back into this breed and why I named my kennel Hemlock Valley Retrievers.
In 2020 after buying my house I decided to go on a search to find a hunting dog and get back into the amazing world of training.
Our mission is to train, title and breed health tested Golden retrievers. We strive to maintain moderate dogs that do not sacrifice size or furnishings for drive
