Welcome to Eagleridge Goldens where we take pride in breeding exceptional Golden Retrievers. We are located in Polk City, FL, conveniently situated between Tampa and Orlando. With over two decades of experience, we’ve successfully bred and showcased our Golden Retrievers, with many earning accolades at both national and international competitions. Some of our pups have even graced the screens of Disney movies!
Eagleridge has received multiple accolades for our outstanding achievements and unwavering commitment to breeding top-tier Golden Retrievers. We are proudly an AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T breeder who has been has been recognized by the AKC for our dedication and passion for producing beautiful, healthy Golden Retriever puppies.
All of our breeding dogs undergo DNA testing and receive OFA Clearances for hips, elbows, heart, and eyes prior to breeding to ensure the health and well-being of our puppies.
We have recently been awarded the Best of Florida 2024 Honorable Mention Award!
It is not often in life that we have encountered a business that meets high standards and expectations when it comes to checking all the boxes, but Eagleridge Golden Retrievers did just that and more!
At the time of this review, Eagleridge is a “breeder with H.E.A.R.T” with the AKC, produces purebred golden retriever pups from show bloodlines, provides parent OFA clearances, vaccinations, 2-year health guarantee (with stipulations), AKC limited registration, contract available for review, microchipping, puppy aptitude testing, puppy matching, 24/7 webcam access (2-8wks), 8 week pickup or 16 week trainee pickup options, and boarding.
Getting a Golden Retriever is something I've dreamed of my whole life. It was important for us to find a trustworthy breeder of ethics and merit. So, we did a lot of research before narrowing it down to a few breeders. Eagleridge was clearly the standout. Besides the fact that Eagleridge kept coming up in multiple best breeders, their website also stood out from the rest. The website is well put together, organized, transparent, and informative.
We then started messaging people through social media, who had purchased a dog from Jen (the owner) at Eagleridge. Everybody said the process was smooth and that Jen was extremely good with communications and that everybody there really cared about the pups.
So, we sent an email...an email that had about 40 questions. Jen responded within a minute, stating she had received our email and would respond as soon as possible. Jen answered every question inline by the next morning!
This was going to be the place we would get our baby girl! We later found out that Eagleridge has quite a few dogs that are in the spotlight. Rover on Icon of the Seas, some that have shown up on the front page of Chewy.com and many others that have been in movies. Although that is all cool, what makes this place special is the top-notch love, care, health, and training of all their dogs and pups.
Having access to a webcam 24/7 from when our pup turned 2 weeks old up until 8 weeks of age was just an incredible (and extremely addicting - ha!) experience that really sets this breeder apart. I can't tell you how much we laughed, learned, and cried happy tears watching the pups and their momma doggie. The Eagleridge caretakers’ interaction with the pups brought much joy, and their attention to keeping our pup in a safe and clean environment was evident. The cost of the pup, and if you do training, may be a bit more than some breeders, but the camera inclusion makes it well worth it!
The staff is amazing, with a very special shout out to Stephanie, Tanner, and Nyla; incredible caretakers and trainers.
Our girl Jaxson went through training, which we highly recommend. The training provides a good base to work from as well as provides a lot of socialization and gets them accustomed to various life activities. While Jaxson was in training, she also was around some construction noises, traffic, visitors, pups from other litters, and interaction with some of the adult dogs that live at Eagleridge. I especially think the training is worth it for first-time dog parents.
Jen was always responsive and professional throughout the process. We were apprehensive at first in having a breeder pick our dog for us but Jen does a great job learning about you, your living environment, lifestyle, hobbies and what you'd like to do with your dog.
Our vet was impressed with the OFA clearance documentation, vaccinations and puppy booklet provided by Jen. This made us feel even better about choosing Eagleridge.
Our girl Jaxson (Eagleridge's Queen of Pups) will forever know all of the Eagleridge staff as Aunties and Uncles, and I know she will love to go back and visit!
Lastly, we look forward to going back to Eagleridge to get Jaxson a brother or sister in the near future!

I enjoyed the entire experience of adopting my first puppy from Eagleridge Goldens. Jen was thorough in her communication from the minute I reached out, responsive and helpful with all of my questions. They took care to select a pup that fit my lifestyle and the temperament and personality I was looking for, so much so that when I brought him home, he instantly fit in and was at ease. My pup already exhibits well-rounded, confident behavior and definitely benefitted from the early stimulation they provide.
The facility is clean and well-maintained, and all the staff I encountered was just fantastic. You can tell they take great care of all of their pups! I appreciate the attention to detail explained in the paperwork and the more holistic approach to care that was recommended.
If there's an opportunity to add another Golden to my pack, I would not hesitate to go back to Eagleridge again!
We are so grateful and appreciative for the incredible Eagleridge team! Jen, Tanner, and the entire staff were exceptional from the moment we connected with them. They welcomed us with open arms and provided such comfort and warmth throughout the process. The true love and care they have for their Goldens is exactly what we were looking for and allowed us to know that we would be welcoming the absolute best pup into our family...which we now have! We loved the ability to visit our puppy and watch her learn and develop under the skilled training and care. The attention to detail and showering of love for the Goldens truly stands out. Eagleridge does not simply breed Goldens, they raise and nurture loving members of the family. We also feel as though we have made life-long friends with the team at Eagleridge.
Our new Golden, Autumn, has been so wonderful and exceeds our expectations every day. She had huge shoes to fill from our beloved Golden of 14 years, Abbey, and Autumn has been able to proudly live up to the lofty legacy thanks to the wonderful dog parents and Eagleridge's training program. From the moment she arrived home, she fit right in with our other King Charles Cavaliers and she was house trained within 3 days. Truly incredible! My wife and I constantly look at each other in amazement and disbelief and whisper, "she's simply perfect". We are so excited to watch Autumn continue to grow, learn, and inspire us each day.
We truly could not be happier and we owe so much to the Eagleridge team ... especially Jen and Tanner (and Maverick of course)! As a Golden obsessed family, we recommend Eagleridge to anyone who appreciates and understands the love a Golden can offer. Eagleridge is the pinnacle of everything a Golden breeder should be and their dogs provide the true love only a Golden can offer!
Eagleridge Goldens is simply fantastic, and Jen, the owner, is an absolute delight to work with! From the moment I reached out to inquire about a pup, Jen's kindness and dedication shone through. She was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, providing prompt and thorough assistance every step of the way.
Tanner, the talented trainer at Eagleridge Goldens, went above and beyond during our visit to meet the puppies. Not only did he provide invaluable insights into their training and care, but he also took the time to introduce us to the litters' parents, giving us a glimpse into the exceptional lineage behind these beautiful dogs!!
The level of care and attention to detail at Eagleridge Goldens is truly exceptional. The facilities are immaculate, and it's evident that every member of the team, from Jen to Tanner and beyond, is passionate about what they do. It's clear that they prioritize the well-being and happiness of their dogs above all else.
I cannot recommend Eagleridge Goldens enough! If you're looking for a reputable breeder with top-notch customer service and a genuine love for their craft, look no further. Jen and her team truly go the extra mile to ensure that every client has a five-star experience. Thank you, Eagleridge Goldens, for exceeding all expectations and for helping me find the perfect fur baby for my family!
