I work at a dog-friendly hotel on the University of Minnesota campus. On busy days, she gets to be the "canine concierge" and walk around the lobby getting pets and love from students and guests. Millie does a lot of the promotional content for our dog-friendly program, which involves posing for pictures and being bribed with treats. She is extremely treat motivated so it doesn't take much! My hope is to volunteer in the Children's Hospital bi-weekly. Millie does really well around children since she is so calm and gentle. I cannot wait to see her in this new role. - Kate Furever Home Photos

He has grown SO much since we picked him up in July. We can’t even really remember what it was like without him in our family. He’s healthy, in “kindergarten”, loves to play, be outside, take walks and snuggle. He thinks that socks, mittens, kitchen towels, toilet paper and undies are a real treat so we are always on his case about what is food or toys and what isn’t! He definitely tries to play us. He is very good at “sit,” “come,” and is learning how to “wait” and “leave it” (see the list of unavailable items above…we are getting a LOT of practice with “leave it”). He lets us know when it’s time for a bathroom break, and has figured out his crate is a safe and comfy place. - Alison Furever Home Photos

Welcome to Vorderosa Retrievers, where our passion for Golden Retrievers shines through in everything we do. Nestled on twenty beautiful acres in West Central Minnesota, our home provides the perfect setting for raising happy, healthy puppies. As a small family breeder, we specialize in both American and English Golden Retrievers and proudly offer puppies with AKC Limited Registration. Our dogs are truly part of the family, enjoying daily outdoor time, love, and care in a peaceful country setting. When we’re not busy caring for our dogs, we love spending time together gardening and hunting. We value family deeply and delight in supporting and celebrating the milestones of not only our own children & grandchildren but also the kids in our church and local community. About Us Rooted in Faith & Family. Driven by Passion. Committed to Goldens. Our Breeding Values Health First We thoughtfully plan each litter with a focus on long-term health and well-being. Every puppy receives their first vaccinations, a complete veterinary exam, deworming, and microchipping before going home. Early Socialization Our puppies are born and raised at our home, surrounded by everyday life, love, and gentle care. Early socialization helps them grow into confident, affectionate companions who thrive in family environments. Purposeful Preparation We begin crate introduction and noise desensitization early to help our puppies adjust smoothly to life with their new families. Every step is designed to set them up for a successful and joyful transition. Lifelong Support We consider it a blessing to walk alongside our puppy families—not just during adoption, but for the journey ahead. We’re always here to offer support, encouragement, and a listening ear. Our Promise At Vorderosa Retrievers, our mission is to ensure every puppy is matched with a loving, compatible home. We take great pride in raising healthy, well-adjusted Golden Retrievers and caring for our retired dogs, so that each one leaves our home happy, healthy, and well-prepared for their new life. From the moment they are born, our puppies receive the utmost care and attention—including early socialization and a nurturing environment that encourages their natural instincts and gentle dispositions. Our goal is to raise Golden Retrievers who become cherished members of their families. We understand that welcoming a new puppy is a significant and emotional decision. That’s why we’re committed to offering ongoing support and guidance to our puppy owners—ensuring a smooth transition and building a lifelong bond between you and your Golden Retriever.

He's turned into our best friend pretty quick! Read More Millie Millie does so well in the office! I work at a dog-friendly hotel on the University of Minnesota campus.
