Watching them grow and find their furever families is one of the greatest joys of what we do. Puppies leave us and enter a new chapter, bringing joy, companionship, and unconditional love to their new home. Ellie Jasmine Litter I thought I would share a few fun photos of Ellie. She is a beautiful, sweet, smart, and sassy little girl. We love watching her grow and her personality develop. Ellie loves belly rubs, learning new tricks, short walks, playing fetch, and ALL people and animals. She has been a joy and bright light in our lives after losing our first dog last October. I'm so thankful for Ellie every day. (November Update): Ellie is growing like a weed. She's 55 lbs of playful, and goofy. She loves to play fetch, eat ice cubes, cuddle in bed, sleep on her back, explore the backyard, and greet everyone who walks by. She's the most popular dog in our neighborhood; everyone knows her by name. - Kaitlyn & Dwight Furever Home Photos

Discover the story behind Vorderosa Retrievers—our family-driven passion for raising healthy, happy English Cream and American Golden Retrievers with love, care, and commitment. 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.

Mack Shasta Puppy When I first got him, he was 12 lbs and now weighed in at his last shots at 24! He is pretty much potty trained, has slept through the night since night one, and knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and shake. Mack truly is my best friend. We now know lay down, roll over, high five, give hugs, and say your prayers for tricks! He’s a great listener and loves playing in the snow. 2020 UPDATE: I cannot believe I already have a two year old! My favorite boy is doing great as always. He loves being at the farm every day finding sticks, chasing the kitties or birds, managing to cover himself in cockleburs and being my right hand man for any task. He loves going for rides in the truck, but his most favorite day of the year is when I carry that 73 lb frame up the ladder for a day in the combine. I’m so lucky to have found you both to give me such an amazing dog and I am forever grateful for my best friend. - Kari Furever Home Photos

I can’t believe how fast she’s grown! Surly is the best dog we could have asked for. She’s so sweet, snuggly, silly, adventurous and the best family dog. She loves ice cubes, eggs, cheese, any soft toy, and her people! Surly is about 51 lbs, the perfect size and healthy. She absolutely loves the snow and to play with her cousin, Luna, a teacup maltipoo. She’s the perfect brewery dog and family member. We’re going to get Surly a pup cup this morning for her birthday and she’s excited to open up presents. - Brooke & Nick Furever Home Photos
