Golden retrievers bred for health and temperament.

“I can honestly say that you cannot find a better environment to get the perfect puppy. Shayla and her team go above and beyond to make sure every puppy has the best beginning they possibly can. A top-notch organization from top to bottom.”

Jack Webster

“We are incredibly lucky to have gotten from an amazing breeder at Stage Gulch Goldens. Shayla is professional, kind, and cares so much about both her puppies and the families they go to. We have since kept in constant contact after our puppy came home. We could not be happier with our puppy!

Who are we?

Stage Gulch Goldens has prioritized creating the perfect environment to breed and raise the perfect companion for you, your family, and the community. Shayla and Jake, our wonderful certified therapy and service dog trainers, raise and train each puppy with a tremendous amount of love at our beautiful ranch in Petaluma, California.

We use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) techniques in order to develop confident, stable, resilient, and loving therapy and service dogs with outstanding temperaments.


Everything about the process was wonderful. Our puppy has the best temperament you could hope for and has become a beloved member of our family.
