Welcome to Cottage Garden Goldadors!
Breeders of Healthy, Happy and Holistically-Raised Puppies for 20 years
Puppies from Cottage Garden Goldadors have been attracting attention since their debut in 2006 not only because of their beauty, but they are also incredibly smart, easy to train and possess captivating temperaments – characteristics that make them amazing companions. They have been highly popular with families who are current or former owners of purebred Labradors and Goldens.
Our location in the mountains of Southwest Virginia makes for an easy day trip for families in the Northeast, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. And we love working with many longer distance families in Florida, Texas, California, Illinois and Colorado as well.
