Welcome To Good Life Goldens!
We are a small North Carolina breeder of exceptional Golden Retrievers. Our main goal is to achieve, by selective breeding, Goldens that possess the soundness, natural ability and temperament that is reflected in the Golden Retriever Breed Standard. Our puppies are raised and loved in our home, not a kennel. Health is guaranteed. They are AKC registered, champion sired, veterinarian inspected and monitored, vaccinated, dewormed, well socialized and “prepared” for their forever homes. They are loving pet companions, and genetically appropriate as Therapy Dogs, Show prospects, Obedience, Tracking or Agility competitors. And we are here to assist you for the rest of your Golden’s life, which, typical of these pedigrees, is a good long life!

Cashie demonstrates her outstanding intelligence by closing the door and
picking up her toys.
Unbelievable win! (Now Grand Champion) Indie won her first Major from the 9-12 month Puppy Class and went on to win Best of Breed over seven Champions. That was very exciting for our sweet little puppy, but she wasn't through! Indie WON the Sporting Group and competed in Best in Show which is very unusual for a Golden puppy at a show as large as the Asheville Kennel Club's (1,000 plus entries). And to finish the loop, she finished her Championship at 23 months of age with another Major at the same show! The following month she earned her Grand Championship with an additional six Majors! What a girl! (Saki x Cashie 2011)
