hey there

I'm Kristen Rahel

When I was a teenager I saw a 70lb golden retriever come bounding with excitement up to a tiny 2 month old baby girl. With concern for the babies safety I wanted to stop the golden and insist he go outside! Instead, I was told to watch. What I saw was this big old goofy dog suddenly drop down to the ground and army crawl up to the babies toes, reaching his snout out as far as possible to lick her little, tiny toes.

After seeing Goldens act like this over and over in my life, from my first golden (Winston) to our current pups (Samson, Angel, and Rosie), I've seen immense gentle love and compassion imminent from every golden. THIS is why my husband, Ryan and I breed goldens. We want every family, single person, couple, child and baby to experience the snuggles, love, joy, immense gentleness, and playful fun of a golden. Having a dog that you can always trust around your friends, your kids, and your family is a unique aspect only found in goldens. We work hard to love every pup (as do my 4 kids!) in an "all in" manner while they are with me so that our Pup-parents will be blessed deeply by them.

HEALTH & BEGINNINGS

We care deeply that this puppy becomes a healthy and bright, long term family or service member...

Puppy Protocol

Here at Golden Angels we have several things we do to help ensure happy healthy puppies that match up perfectly with just the right family.

1: Rosie and Samson have been DNA tested and cleared with Embark tests. Please ask for further information and results on this.

2: We raise our puppies with Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction. This helps grow their mental and emotional stability and has been proven to create a positive impact on:

-improved heart rate

-stronger heart beats

-better tolerance to stress

-greater resistance to disease

-stronger ability to train for home or service

3: At 7 weeks we perform a Temperament test to help each parent have a peak into who their pup is. This also assists anyone who is seeking a golden to be a support dog, service dog, or a dog for other types of training purposes.

4.We offer a Puppy Start class at an afforable cost between 5-7 weeks old for the parents and family so you will be set and prepared for how to manage the "puppy stage" with success and joy.

5. One of our all-star trainers pairs with us to offer a Group Puppy Training Class, also at an affordable cost, in the local Boerne/San Antonio area.

THE MAIN CHARACTER in your story is you

As a breeder, my desire is to make this experience smooth and stress free. We choose to run our business with as little control on the pup's new parents as we can. YOU get to choose your pup. YOU get photos and video updates. YOU get to decide if they get vaccinated. YOU get to decide whether they are spayed/neutered. This is YOUR forever-pup.

Puppy Love

We raise all of our pups in our home. They are woken up and played with by our 3 cats, 2 dogs, 4 children... and of course myself and my husband.

Our mom and dad are the family dogs that are constantly loved on. Our business is not about the business of selling, its about the business of making lives and creating love.
