About us
We’ve been sharing our lives with Golden Retrievers since 1996, and we truly can’t imagine our family without them. Our home is made up of me, my wife, our two boys, our cat Jeff, and our Goldens—who are very much part of the family.
​
Our dogs are involved in everything we do. They’re happiest when they’re with us, whether that means playing in the backyard with the kids, hanging out during family movie nights, or following us from room to room just to stay close. They’re loyal, gentle, and somehow always know when someone needs a little extra love.
​
We spend a lot of time outdoors, and beach days are a favorite for both our family and our dogs. Our Goldens love the water and never get tired of chasing tennis balls. After a full day of fun, they’re just as content relaxing at home, stretched out and snoozing.
​
Our Goldens live indoors with us and are part of everyday life. They bring so much joy, comfort, and laughter into our home, and we feel incredibly lucky to share our lives with such loving companions.
​At Goldenrayz, we are dedicated to breeding and raising Golden Retrievers in a loving environment. Each puppy comes registered with Dogs Victoria, and they leave us with a thorough health check, their first vaccination, microchipped, wormed and a helpful puppy pack for a seamless transition into their new homes.
Our mission is to ensure that every puppy finds a special forever home, while also equipping each family with the knowledge and preparation needed for their new furry friend. We’re here to support you every step of the way and continue to provide ongoing advice even after your puppy becomes part of your family!
We provide early exposure and socialisation for our puppies, ensuring they grow into well-adjusted companions.​ Our puppies are born and raised inside our home, surrounded by the warmth and activity of family life.
For the first 5 weeks, they live indoors where they’re closely monitored, weighed regularly, and gently introduced to a variety of household sights, sounds, and experiences. This helps ensure they’re healthy, thriving, and well-socialised right from the start.
​
At around 5 weeks of age, the puppies move to a larger, secure outdoor area equipped with a puppy gym and enrichment activities. Here, they continue to be exposed to new sounds, textures, toys, and interactions—building their confidence and helping them develop into well-rounded, curious, and resilient little dogs.
​
By the time our puppies go to their new homes, they are used to a family environment, familiar with everyday household life, and ready to settle in with their forever families—not anxious, but confident and content. ​​
​
When the puppies are 6 weeks old, active, and playful, you’ll be invited to visit and choose your puppy—based on the order in which holding deposits were received.
​
​To support our new puppy families, we create a private Facebook group for everyone who has reserved a puppy. In this group, we share weekly updates throughout the early weeks—photos, training tips, and helpful information to guide you in preparing for your new companion. The group continues well after the puppies have joined their new families, becoming a supportive community where owners can share updates, ask questions, and receive ongoing guidance as their Golden grows.
