What others are saying
"Deacon"
Deacon is such a wonderful dog. Besides being incredibly handsome, he's a happy boy, very proud of himself and a nice combination of playful and sweet. He loves going on walks, chasing my 3-year old goldendoodle thru the yard, and then coming inside for downtime and cuddles. When we meet people on our walks, it doesn't matter if they're small children, teenagers or older folks, he wants to sit, shake and socialize.

"Camber"
We brought Camber home a year ago from "Hearts Of Gold". He has been a great puppy and dog. He has received his first title "CGC"! He is very athletic and spirited, loves to run and swim. He goes to the airport everyday with us for work and greets our customers. He loves playing with other dogs and has been a great new member of our family. Thanks Pam Edwards.

"Woody & Winnie"
Getting our first puppy 7 years ago from Heart's Of Gold"", was one of the best decisions we ever made. The health and temperament of our dog, as well as the Edwards transparency and professionalism in breeding, are truly exceptional and rare to find. They even provided health records and family tree of our puppy. When it came time to add a second puppy to our family, 3 years ago, we didn't even consider any other breeder. Thanks to Pamela and her ethical breeding
, we now have 2 healthy boys with wonderful temperaments who bring endless joy to our lives.

"Cash, Penny & Lincoln"
We have been customers of Hearts Of Gold since 2015. All 3 of our goldens are stunning with great temperaments. They have been wonderful with our young children and have brought so much happiness to our home. Pamela has a wonderful environment for the puppies to grow until they are ready for their forever homes. I have seen several of the sires and dams in person and they are absolutely beautiful. Pamela is very knowledgeable and is there for all of your questions and preparations. You will just adore your new puppy.

"Charlie"
Our experience with Hearts Of Gold Golden Retrievers, was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, we could feel the love, integrity and dedication that goes into every puppy they raise. Pam kept us connected throughout the entire process with updates, photos, and sweet little details that made us feel like we were already a part of Charlie's world long before we met him. When we arrived to pick up Charlie, we were genuinely impressed by how clean, organized and peaceful the environment was. It was clear that every dog there is cared for with the highest standards. We also appreciated being able to meet Charlie's mom and dad on-site. Both were beautifully cared for, friendly, and clearly adored. It gave us so much confidence knowing Charlie came from such a wonderful place.
Charlie came home happy, healthy and incredibly well socialized. His gentle, confident, loving personality is a true testament to the care he received during those crucial early weeks. Even after we brought him home, Pam continued to be supportive and engaged. Always willing to answer questions and celebrate Charlie's milestones with us.
We couldn't have been more grateful to Hearts Of Gold, Golden Retrievers. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we've ever made, and we whole heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a trusted, caring and truly exceptional breeder. Charlie is everything we hoped for and more.

"Lilly"
We got our little Lilly girl from Pamela Edwards at Hearts Of Gold this year, 2025 and we couldn't be more in love. Pam provided us with extensive puppy information and guidance from the moment we contacted her. Lilly has an amazing temperament and absolutely loves everyone. She enjoys swimming, long hikes in the woods and more recently SNOW! If you want a lifelong snuggle puppy who truly has a "heart of gold", I recommend Pam and her family as exceptional breeders and Lilly's forever family.

"Vinny & Buddy"
We have gotten two golden retrievers from Hearts Of Gold and I have to say that Pam breeds the perfect dogs! My first golden "Buddy", lived 13 1/2, years and had a beautiful life. We also got a second dog for my son and "Vinny" is almost 3 years old and a healthy happy soul. Both dogs have the perfect temperament, if are lucky enough to get one of her puppies, you will not be disappointed. I know many people who recommended her to me and are also very happy with their dogs.

"Sadie Mae & Lily"
My name is Debbie Larson. I have known Pam since 2013. I have had 3 goldens prior to meeting Pam. My dog Taffy passed, leaving me broken hearted. It was then that I started searching for a new puppy. I found Pam's website by "Devine" intervention, I'm sure. I got a pup from one of her litters. Her name was Lily. She was smart, easy to train, healthy and loved everyone. She was a "velcro" dog. She was a laid back girl, just happy to sit next to me or go for leisurely walks. She never left my side until she passed in 2023. I always kept in touch with Pam over the years, so of course when I lost my Lily, I contacted her a week later looking for a puppy. As luck would have it, she had a litter due in October, ready at Christmas and bam, I got my Sadie Mae. Sadie was a bundle of energy, took on more of the field line. She was easily trained but always likes to retrieve her dummies, loves long walks and exercise daily. She is in excellent health, strong and gorgeous.

"Jack"
Jack is the second golden we have gotten from Pam. She helped us in selecting a puppy with the right temperament for our lifestyle. She also helped us find a good trainer, which is always necessary when we get a new puppy. We highly recommend her and her puppies.

"Lucy"
We got our golden retriever, Lucy, from Hearts Of Gold and she is truly the best dog ever. This is the second golden we have gotten from them, and both have amazing temperaments and are wonderful with kids and other dogs. The puppies are well taken care of and handed over in great health and ready to meet their new families. My 3 boys love Lucy so much and she is so patient, gentle and has lots of fun with them.

"Walter, Houston & Lily"
I have always dreamed of having a therapy dog and Walter is the ONE! He is one hard working pooch with a sweet and gentle soul. Walter earned his CGC by age two and became a Certified Therapy Dog, through nationally recognized "Alliance Of Therapy Dogs" at age three. He beautifully serves at our local hospital, comforting patients, visitors and staff on a regular basis. Walter also visits weekly at a local Elementary School where he especially shines with Special Education Students.
When he's not on the job, Walter enjoys long walks, squirrel chasing and athletic games of fetch. Walter is the descendant of two of our former goldens from Hearts Of Gold, Houston and Lily the dynamic Daddy Daughter Duo. Hearts Of Gold breeds healthy dogs who are smart, highly trainable companions and have been excellent additions to our family since 2005. I am hopeful that my husband will let me bring another home in the future.

"Indy"
If you are looking for an irreplaceable member of your family or your best friend, then look no further. Goldens are the biggest sweethearts, and known for their intelligence, east to train, and of course their boundless love. But the pups from Hearts Of Gold are beyond that. From day one, Indy had what can only be described as a perfect temperament. Gentle, loving and patient, he's been the envy of every dog owner I've met because of his natural, easy going yet enthusiastic nature. When we were ready for our second dog, we went right back to Hearts Of Gold. They've made us incredibly happy, and they certainly will make you too.
