Welcome and thank you for taking the time to check out my beloved golden retrievers. 

Golden Nebulae's Retrievers started when I brought home my first golden retriever, Alya, in May of 2020. Growing up, golden retrievers were always my dream dog. While I was in grade school I spent most, if not all, of my free time volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering animals. I started working as a veterinary technician in 2014 - where my true love for golden retrievers really blossomed. While working as a veterinary technician, I have the opportunity to meet and love all the golden retriever patients that come in the door. I have worked in many fields of specialty veterinary medicine where I learned just how important it is to breed healthy dogs free of genetic conditions and where I developed the desire to breed golden retrievers that are as healthy as possible to the best of my abilities. My husband, Steven, and I are both currently veterinary technicians in neurology and emergency medicine. All of our dogs live in our home as pets, are raised around my child, and are a huge part of our family. I could not imagine my house without them. 

While I do not currently actively show my goldens, I have dreams to one day. I do actively work on obedience with our dogs, and I require all of my breeding dogs to obtain a minimum of their CGC (Canine Good Citizen Award with AKC). I hope to gain more titles with each of my dogs as we grow.

All of our dogs are fed Hills Science Diet, are fully vaccinated, up to date on heartworm and flea/tick prevention and are regularly examined by licensed veterinarians. All of our breeding dogs are a minimum of two years old as well as fully health tested for genetic diseases, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and heart conditions with an echocardiogram before breeding.
