About Us

Welcome and thanks for visiting, we are glad you're here!  Capital Cream Goldens is a small family run, puppy loving endeavor located just outside of our Nation’s Capital in Northern Virginia.

What began as a long ride to Wisconsin to pick up our first Golden Retriever, has blossomed into a passion to share with others  the joy and happiness that only a Golden can bring! 

From a very young age I struggled with debilitating anxiety that disrupted every aspect of my life.  Ultimately, I was scared to even leave my home as I never knew when the next episode might occur.  The few constants that I knew I could always count on were God, my family, and my faithful Golden Retrievers Tucker and Brady.  Unknowingly, their constant companionship and faithfulness, and the lessons I've learned while training them, ignited my long journey to health and healing.  It was through this process that I came to realize “If dogs can help restore my joy and mental health, then maybe they can help someone else too!”

For these reasons, we believe that dogs are members of our family.  They are more than four legged fur balls.  They are in fact, an integral part of our family dynamics.  They provide emotional support when needed and a head to cry on during some of our toughest times.  They are the most faithful of companions and will bring us joy that is immeasurable!  Our desire is to place puppies in your homes that will be there for you, just as my friends were there for me!

At Capital Cream Goldens, we desire to only pass on the best of Golden Retriever qualities through our breeding program.  We spend an immense amount of time identifying the best dogs to incorporate into our breeding.  In addition to identifying the best traits that Golden Retrievers have to offer, we spend an equal amount of time ensuring that our dogs have the appropriate health clearances and are free of genetic issues that are known to plague Golden Retrievers.  

My ultimate desire for Capital Cream Goldens is to bring joy and love into your home, one puppy at a time!  I invite you to join me on this journey!
