Hear What Our Families Have To Say
After losing my 8-year-old golden retriever to cancer, I told myself I just didn’t want to go through that again. So, I started researching breeders and wanted to make the switch from golden retrievers to English Cream retrievers so as not to “compare” my pups. I was looking for not only a beautiful puppy but also someone that approached breeding from a different perspective and that is when I found Creekside English Goldens. Everything about them was different from most breeders; they raised their dogs in a completely organic atmosphere with organic food, different approach to vaccinations and a more natural approach to daily care.

Winston, my 5-year-old, is the perfect English gentleman. He has the sweetest temperament and simply just wants to be near me. He was a part of Creekside’s training program and was trained from 7 weeks to 10 weeks. When we brought him home, he slept through the night, was crate and potty trained, and it was the most simple transition I had ever experienced.
This past February, we brought home our 2nd Creekside pup, Quincy. Truly the most loveable, cuddly pup ever. Completely different personality from my first with nothing but love and cuddles from him. He too, went through the Creekside training program, and came to us crate trained, potty trained, and loose leash trained and he too slept through the night!
Creekside really gave me the tools I needed to continue the care of both of my pups in an organic, natural way as well as training tips that helped me feel confident in my ability to continue their training as well as partner with a vet that understood how I wanted to raise my pups.
The entire process was a wonderful experience. They listened to what I was looking for in a puppy and matched us perfectly with both of our boys! I could not be happier with both Winston and Quincy and highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a new member to their family.
