We administer the puppies their first vaccinations, Parvo, worming, DHLPP vaccine and care for them in our home. All puppies are vet certified for health.

Our Connecticut dams and sires are AKC registered, and hips, elbows, eyes and heart are OFA and NCL cleared. Most come from championship lines and we own the dams.

Five of our breeding dogs are referred to as “English Cream Goldens”, while in the United States their beautiful coats are recognized as light goldens. In the United Kingdom and most countries around the world, they are recognized by this name because of their attractive coats and gentle temperament.

Our dogs are all AKC credentialed, have been trained and have gentle and well mannered temperaments. We use call names for our dogs and not their given names for the simple reason it makes them easier to train. For more information on their given names, feel free to contact us.

Because of our own personal preferences, we made the decision long ago to focus our breeding efforts on the Light Golden category of the breed.

“We had a great experience, Dom was very accommodating and we were able to come back multiple times to play with the pups. He made the entire process stress free, was very reasonable and we got the best dog. Our pup is a beautiful golden, he’s great with our young kids, easily trained and very healthy. We are so glad we found crane hollow and highly recommend them!“

“Dom is a fur baby expert! His focus is on quality puppies that go to good homes. He is a caring man, that is protective of his litters and the parents. Sometimes people come second, because of his love for the puppies he is responsible for and the commitment he has to the pups. Don’t take him the wrong way he has a heart of gold.“

“We got our sweet boy from this breeder. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a golden retriever. We just had our vet visit yesterday and Toby has a perfect bill of health. The vet even said he doesn’t often say that about pure bred puppies. Toby is so wonderful, and we are so happy. The process was easy, great communication too from Dom too.“

Store associate was extremely helpful and very accommodating . Price matched items to online pricing which a lot of stores are reluctant to do.

The employees are very friendly and informative. A real pleasure to shop here.

Although it seems pretty tight, they have a good selection of things. Really good selection of pet tags at decent prices. Staff was friendly.

Excellent customer care in the aquarium area. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Reasonable prices!
