About 

Breeder Since 1990 

We breed for Quality, Health, and Temperament.

Here at Star Shining we are hobby breeders. We are a small family based in home breeder with only 2-4 litters a year with the main goal in producing Golden Retrievers for health, personality and of course beauty! Our Goldens have a luxurious cream coat that makes their beautiful, striking black eyes & nose stand out. We specialize in Shades of Cream Goldens. We have a small breeding program so that we are able to spend quality time with all of our dogs. We strive to promote the health of our dogs and our puppies. We conduct health testing to ensure we have happy, healthy dogs and puppies. Our pups are raised right inside our home with our family. Health and temperament are the highest priorities in our breeding goals. We do a host of early neurological stimulation, socialization, problem solving and desensitization experiences to ensure your pup grows into a dog that is friendly, confident, emotionally balanced and not fearful or anxious. We feed top quality food, avoid as many toxic chemicals as we can and assure our dogs and pups get a great deal of exercise to also ensure optimum health. We are also available throughout the life of your pup, especially your first few weeks together to support you with your pup's transition home.

Our Team

Welcome Friends, 

My name is Cheri. I currently run Star Shining Goldens as a second generation breeder. I grew up with Golden Retrivers my whole life. My mother was always a hobby breeder. I did show confirmation, agility and grooming. With my mother retiring I now carry on the name.
