Having lost my Golden Retriever only a few months ago, I began searching for breeders that demonstrated great care for their dogs, produced very attractive puppies and were not focused on volume. After a taking a look at a number of breeders from websites in So Cal, Central California, and the Bay Area, and visiting others in person, my discouragement ended after communicating with Angie from Golden Retriever Buddies. My visit reinforced my initial positive impressions upon visiting their facility and meeting her in person. I was able to come home that same day with a handsome little pup. As others have already written, this breeder, Angie, demonstrated exceptional care for their puppies as shown by their pictures, the environment in which they were kept and the acute detail in documenting all vaccines administered. Moreover, Angie had shared that she limited how much he was fed to prevent car sickness for the drive home. Angie could not have been friendlier or more professional in facilitating the transition to being a new Golden Retriever puppy parent. Having had two other Goldens from breeders, Angie was the most professional and sincere with whom I've interacted. This breeder had amazingly top quality puppies that I would not hesitate to contact again for another pup. She is a real gem as are her puppies. If you are looking for a Golden, you won't need to look any further than Golden Retriever Buddies, they have quality great looking puppies that experience lots of TLC! read more

Angie was very easy to work with. Her communication is top notch. Based on pictures I had two puppies I was interested in. After meeting them she helped me choose this boy because he was more mellow with my children which is great because he was my first choice. read more

Angie was so great to work with and we had such a good experience choosing our puppy. It was nice to get frequent updates after the pups were born. We are in love withour girl Daisy and so happy we chose Golden Retiever Buddies ! Thank you so much Angie! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Angie and I cannot recommend her enough! I first met her in January, and from our very first conversation, I was impressed by her professionalism and warmth. She took the time to call me and provide all the details I needed, quickly answering any questions I had and taking down notes on gender, personality, color and everything we were looking for in a puppy. Since then, I've been on her waitlist, and she has kept me updated every step of the way. Angie sent multiple updates about different litters, making sure that the timing was perfect for us. Her commitment to her puppies is evident in the way she shared updates throughout their growing stages, from birth to the exciting pick-up day. On the day we brought our boy home, Angie was incredibly kind and patient. She took her time with me during the pick-out process, helping me narrow down my choices among the many adorable puppies. I can be quite indecisive, but Angie made it a fun experience. Now, we have Goose, who is 10 weeks old this week. He's already impressing us by knowing so many commands! He's such a good listener and is incredibly smart. Goose was even sleeping through the night on his first day home and has hardly had any accidents indoors! You can tell that he was raised with love and care in Angie's home, which has made our transition to puppy parenthood so smooth. Since this is my first time being a dog parent, I was overwhelmed the first week and Angie did not hesitate to ease my mind and gave me suggestions to help Goose's transition to his new home easier for both of us. If you're looking for a golden retriever puppy, I highly recommend reaching out to Angie. She truly goes above and beyond for her puppies and their families! Angie is not someone who you will never hear from after taking your puppy home. She is there before, during, and after and this is one of the greatest qualities a breeder can have. I cannot thank Angie enough for providing me with my new best friend. We will most definitely be coming back to Angie once we decide to add another golden to our family! read more

You can expect an absolutely amazing experience with Golden Retriever Buddies! We began our journey over 1.5 years ago, due to Covid our process took much longer than expected however it was very much worth the wait. You see without a doubt that Angie takes breeding extremely seriously and puts an extraordinary amount of love, care, and attention into the process. Angie made sure to keep us updated with all necessary details along with photos and detailed notes once our pick up time window was getting closer. Once we picked up our new little family member we were thrilled with him. Angie answered all of our questions and is always so happy to see photos of her pups in their forever homes. Our new pup is an absolutely handsome little guy and we have no regrets choosing Angie as our breeder. If you are looking for an amazing family pup and a breeder who provides an extremely caring and methodical process then look no further than Angie. Highly recommend! read more

Angie was super helpful and responsive before during and after we picked home our pup. Our dog Blu we absolutely love. He is so handsome and curious and sweet and has added much to our lives. He is 5 months old now and is starting to mature out of baby puppyhood (which was a lot of work but worth it). Thank you golden retriever buddies for our handsome and sweet boy. read more

Angie was the absolute best breeder to work with. The care she has for all of her pups and parents really shows in how happy and healthy our puppy is. She is willing to answer any questions and teach you how to best take care of your puppy. She was even extremely willing to work with me as I proposed on our puppy pickup date. She made it such a nice moment and I can't thank her enough. Our little girl has been so healthy and happy-- so many people are asking us where we got her and I gladly tell them about Angie at Golden Retriever Buddies. 10/10 times I would recommend them to anyone-- totally worth the price. read more

We bought our Golden Retriever (Colombo) from Golden Retriever Buddies in early November. Angie was great to work with: quick to respond to texts, answered all of our questions, prepared us for taking our puppy home, and gave us lots of recommendations. She was also very flexible about setting up a time to come choose our puppy and to pick him up. The fact that she starts crate training with them is great because Colombo adapted to his crate at our home very quickly and was sleeping through the night within a week or so. We did a lot of research on breeders and paid close attention to who had ethical breeding practices, and Angie certainly does. She clearly shows the puppies a lot of love. We've sent her a few "pupdates" on Colombo, and she always seems happy to receive them. I definitely recommend reaching out to her if you're looking to purchase one. read more

We just received our precious puppy Goose from Angela and her family. First off, our puppy is so well cared for, he has a wonderful, calm demeanor and he gets along great with our little kids. He is so playful and loving and already such a great sleeper! He has been with a few family dogs and loves loves socializing and playing with others! Angela was so wonderful to work with. She prepped us extensively regarding food supplies, what to expect the first few days, and how to manage the vet appointments. She is so loving and dedicated to these dogs, we will definitely go back in the future for a sibling! Her three sons delivered the dog to us 8 hours away; they were so responsible and took great care of Goose. We are beyond thrilled to have him in our family and my three young boys love him so much!! I highly recommend Angela and her cute doggies read more

We have been looking for the perfect addition to our family for the past year. We wanted to wait till our kids were old enough to be responsible to take care of a puppy but also be young enough to grow up with a little buddy. After searching for months we came across Golden Retriever Buddies and decided to message them. From the moment we got our first response till now it has only been the most pleasing and wonderful experience with Angie. She is so personable and very informative answering all the questions I had about their puppies. I know that ANY breeder could have cute and healthy puppies but speaking to other breeders, hands down Angie made the experience extraordinary. I felt like the other breeders seem to be more concerned about the business aspect of the process and Angie was more concerned about my family and putting a puppy in that perfect family. During the whole process up till now she has been in contact with us every step of the way. Whenever I contacted her with any questions she would respond in a timely manner and her responses were with pleasure and I didn't feel like I was bothering her like some other breeders I spoke to. I understand that this is a business transaction but also this is not a small feat, we are basically adopting another "child" to love and cherish. I definitely recommend Golden Retriever Buddies to anyone that wants a smooth and joyful experience from beginning to the end. read more

We initially chose Golden Retriever Buddies because we really liked that Angie was an experienced breeder and was family oriented. She was quick to respond right from the beginning and continued to be informative, thoughtful and responsive throughout the entire time. Angie made our experience so enjoyable and we are forever grateful, as we picked up our sweet girl, Lemon, from Golden Retriever Buddies a week ago and she could not be more perfect! She is spunky, smart, sweet and just beautiful!!! We are so grateful to Angie and her family for doing such a wonderful job raising and caring for all of their puppies. We highly recommend choosing Angie and Golden Retriever Buddies!!! read more

From start to finish, our experience with Angie of Golden Retriever Buddies has been an absolute joy! We recently adopted our first puppy, Milo and he is absolutely darling sweet, healthy, playful, potty-trained (almost - we are learning too!) and very well adjusted to sleeping in his play pen and crate. Throughout this adoption process Angie kept us updated with his progress via text, phone calls and lots of pictures of him and his siblings! She was very easy to communicate with about what kind of dog we wanted for our family and she answered all of our questions with thoughtful, experienced answers. We love our pup Milo so much already, and a lot of that has to do with how much care and consideration Angie and her family have raised him with throughout his first 8 weeks. Their love for their dogs is evident and we feel so grateful to have found such excellent and responsible breeders! Thank you Mendez family for helping bring an immense amount joy and love into our lives!! read more

Just picked up a golden here last night and she's really great. Highly recommend this breeder. Thank you!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to adopt our baby from Angie and Golden Retriever Buddies. Angie was so helpful and we could tell she truly cares about all her dogs. As our Reggie was the last in the lItter to go, we could tell she had really bonded with him. Although she was happy to see him go to a good home, we could tell she was also sad to see him go. As for Reggie, we found the perfect pup. He is a sweet and loving boy. He is pretty mellow with just the right amount of playfulness. I would highly recommend Golden Retriever Buddies read more

Angie was very responsive and a delight to work with. We are glad we found Golden Retriever Buddies.

We adopted a puppy from Angie at Golden Retriever Buddies. She is sooooo adorable, soft and cuddly! It is obvious that Angie and her family give their puppies a lot of TLC and love! Why choose this breeder? Well, I liked what they say on their website, and the photos were adorable. I bookmarked the site and referred back to it now and then, as I was gradually talking my wife into getting a puppy. We looked at rescue, but young female Goldens get rescued fast! I decided adopting a puppy from a good breeder was what we were going to do. Initially, the price seemed kind of high. But consider that they carefully breed, from very noble bloodlines, to produce healthy puppies that have a wonderful disposition. They only breed a couple times a year, and often they have a waiting list of clients who have placed a deposit - many of which are repeat customers. We also considered that, as far as Angie knows, there have been NO health problems with any of their puppies. This was very important to me, even though there are no guarantees. I have lost two purebreds at just 8 years old, and we hope and pray that our Sadie Mae will live much longer than that! Finally, I saw that this family is a Christian family, and we are too. We like to buy from Christians when we can. Angie was very responsive to my inquiries and was reliable and easy to work with. Her and her husband agreed to board our puppy for a month before we picked her up (we were out of town), for as very reasonable fee. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My husband and I purchased our new member of our family on December 16th. My husband was wanting a puppy for Christmas. After we drove up to their home, Angie greeted us outside where we walked around the corner of her house and immediately fell in love with a beautiful bundle of fur! Tommy, as we named him, met with us with bright sparkling eyes and a wagging tail. He had a golden smile, that as having 4 other golden retrievers, only an owner knows too familiar. He immediately melted our hearts. After spending about 15 minutes with him, we agreed to purchase him. Angie went over all of his paperwork and was very accommodating. We took Tommy to our vet within 72 hours as per the contract with Angie, and he got a clean bill of health. We are excited to add Tommy to our family. I would highly recommend Golden Retriever Buddies as a place to purchase a new golden retriever. read more

I want to start by saying that I did not end up getting a Golden Retriever puppy from them because my own circumstances changed. But they were such a pleasure to work with that I would recommend them to anyone interested in getting a Golden Retriever. The communication has been absolutely phenomenal. They provided all records and pictures when I asked for them and when I had any puppy questions they were super knowledgeable and helpful. They are so friendly, talking to them is always a joy! I ended up going with a different breeder because the timing the puppy arrival and location worked better for me, but even when I told them that, they were incredibly sweet and tried to help me out since I was a little unsure about the other breeder. They asked questions to make sure I wasn't getting scammed (there were a few red flags with the other breeder to be honest) and provided me with AKC resources to contact. Fortunately everything worked out, but I feel like this really proves the integrity of Golden Retriever Buddies and that they are really great people. read more

After our beautiful female golden passed away the day before thanksgiving 2018 my family was heartbroken. My family has always had a golden as a member of our family and Angela answered our call on Thanksgiving day and reserved our beautiful baby boy. He is the most beautiful male golden I've ever seen and we're constantly receiving compliments about him. Angela is extremely professional and the most personable breeder that I've ever come across. She genuinely cares for her puppies and ensures the highest level of care for all of her animals. I would certainly refer her to any Golden Retriever lover who is seeking the finest Goldens Southern California has to offer. I highly recommend Golden Retriever Buddies to anyone seeking the best and most beautiful Goldens. Thanks for everything Angela!! read more
