“Alyson and her team are an absolute joy to work with and the entire experience more than exceeded our expectations. Our new arrival, Barkley is an absolute darling, and a testament to Southland Goldens dedication and devotion to these wonderful animals. Barkley is our 4th Golden Retriever but the first one provided to us by this outstanding organization. Highly recommended. Thank you again, Alyson .”

Peter Wilson

“We are so happy with Southland Goldens and our sweet baby Zoey. Alyson was accommodating and very helpful is helping us choose our pup without meeting her first. She is a perfect match for our family and has settled in on day one. Zoey is already trained and loves her crate. If you are looking for an English Golden Retriever this is your breeder.”

Lauren Marr

“Phenomenal experience. We love our new family member Bear. Southland Goldens and Alyson was so easy to engage with. Highly recommended. ❤️❤️❤️”

Andy

“We adopted a sweet girl named Evie from Southland Goldens and could not be more happy. Heartbroken from the loss of our last golden retriever to cancer at a young age (from another breeder) we were afraid to step into a new love. Speaking with Alyson made the process very easy and smooth. She was incredibly helpful in helping us transition our new girl into our home. Evie has gone through training and came to us at five months old. I am astounded at how perfectly behaved such a young puppy can be. She does not even know me yet and already obeys her commands, is very well adjusted, calm and happy. We are very grateful to Southland Goldens and especially Alyson For all the help, all the work and effort they have put into delivering us such an amazing girl. Thank you! We look forward to a long and healthy life with Evie!”

“I can’t give Southland Goldens enough Praise and Accolades!!! Alyson is such a top-notch breeder. The organization operates to the very highest of standards. Alyson is very available to answer all questions prior, during, and after the process of bringing our sweet Bentley home from Alabama to Arizona!

Highest of quality breeder of English Cream Golden Retrievers! Their introduction to stimulation and real-life daily objects and sounds is something not many breeders incorporate. It sure has made Bentley into a very smart, and confident little guy. Alyson’s love of these puppies sure is evident and shines through with the care and training of these babies. Introducing them to social situations only adds to their stability and confidence levels.

Eric’s care and white glove treatment while traveling from Alabama to Arizona was again above and beyond our expectations! There was never a doubt in our minds that our fur baby was treated with love just as if he was their puppy!”

Cindy Gebhart

“Alyson and her team are top notch! You will not find a more reputable breeder than Southland Goldens. They pour a tremendous amount of time, love and effort into these gorgeous pups. Definitely recommend these guys!!”

Shea Berry

“The moment I interacted with Alyson I knew I was working with a top notch professional service. The compassion and care they show to their clients and animals is first class. We were looking for a trained adult female for my father in law. They gave us the most perfect fit. I can never express the gratitude I have for them. They made such a difference in his life. Thank you for making finding a dog so perfect and easy.”

Shelly Counts

“We just love Ranger. We’re so impressed with how well he is trained. We highly recommend Southland Goldens!!! ❤️😇 The owners and trainers are so kind and I’m going to miss them.”

Kaytanna Montaine

“Excellent. Alyson was very patient, kind, thorough and knowledgeable in answering all our questions and providing videos of his training and weekly development. It made it easy to follow the puppies and determine who was the best fit for our family . I couldn’t be happier with Alyson and our new puppy she helped us choose. A handsome, sweet and calm boy. I Highly recommend Southland Goldens.”

Joseph Cimino

“From the outset our experience with Southland Goldens has been nothing short of 5 star. The owners are wonderful. Great communication, answered all of our questions. We picked up “Willie” about a month ago. He’s fully trained and is ready to please every day. Our entire family has fallen deeply in love with this incredible dog. He is already a full member of our family. Thank you Alyson for the work you do. Absolutely the best breeder we have ever worked with. 💙”

Jeff Walsh

“I do not have a single negative thing to say about southland goldens. Alyson was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the whole process of getting my puppy. She is very attentive and quick to respond with any questions you may have along the way. Being able to watch my puppy grow through the blog has been such a blessing. I have Mr. Blue (aka Bruin) from the River X Willow litter. He is the best behaved puppy I have ever seen. Within 3 nights he was sleeping through the night fully and within one week he mastered 5+ commands! I am BEYOND thankful for Alyson!”

Rosa Akhmadeyev

Southland Goldens provides a nurturing environment for their puppies from birth until it is time for them to go home with their families. The care provided ensures a lovable, social companion that is perfect for a family of any size. Alyson is great at communicating and providing updates to owners.

To say we are all in love with Cooper is an understatement! He has grown so much! He is about 55 pounds now and is just the sweetest boy ever—the son I never had! We laugh at wondering just how many hugs he gets a day, and he loves every minute of it. We will also send you some new pictures. Thanks!!

Beth, Alabama

Just wanted to tell you how grateful we are to have Blu as part of our family. He is the most relaxed, sweet-loving guy!! Everyone who meets him cannot believe his amazing temperament. I can not even begin to explain how much I have grown to love him in such a short time… thank you for this incredible gift and friend. We are also super excited that my son Cris’s puppy was born! Looking forward to another amazing puppy from Southland Goldens.

Jennifer, Florida

Hey Alyson, I just thought I would show you Champ’s progress. He is the head of his class in obedience training. He has passed 4 classes at the top of his class in all of them!! Champ is absolutely amazing! EVERYONE loves him and crosses paths with us! I can’t keep thanking you enough!! He is the BEST dog, hands down!! Thanks.

Tim, Georgia

Thank you so much, Alyson, for my new best friend. Lady is adjusting nicely and fits right in with our family. My kids could not be happier!! She is the sweetest little girl ever, and I want to thank you for taking such good care of her! We will send many pictures. Thanks again.

Hi Alyson… I HAVE HIM. HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. His crate is dry… he held it. Ran to all my neighbors who just love him to pieces… he comes to me all the time!!! He knows who his new mama is. I am so happy!!! The crate was wonderful, all dressed up with a special note. We took many, many pictures!!! I will send it to you. Alyson, he is doing very well. I love him. Thank you so much for being the wonderful person you are.

Linda, New Jersey

Pearl had a FANTASTIC first night and day! All her business has been outside. She slept through the night with our old Boston Terrier, Junie, by her side, and she has just been the best puppy we’ve ever had. Thank you so much for giving her a wonderful start in life.

Tracy, Georgia

Brady has adjusted nicely. He is such a great guy. Thank you!

Harley is as cute as a button… really happy. That tail wags 1,000 mph. She fits right in with our gang.

Kathy, Illinois

Sam is a wonderful guy and certainly my best friend. He is growing up to be a fine young dog with so much love and life to give.

Kathy, California

We are so proud to have Brooklyn as part of our family; thank you for the wonderful job and home you provided to her for her first 8 weeks of life. Just remember, you will always be her first mommy.

Donna, Minnesota

Jed started his second round of training today. He’s such a joy, weighing 65 lbs now. My baby is growing up. The trainer was very complimentary of his breeders. She seems to have taken a special interest in Jed and asked if she could take him home with her one night. She wants to let him work with the service dog in training she has now!

“After an abundant amount of research and contacting many breeders, we were ecstatic to add a new family member from Southland Goldens! Alyson and her team have been absolutely wonderful throughout the selection process. Alyson is extremely responsive, and THOUGHTFUL in her responses. She truly wants her puppies to go to loving homes, and does everything in her power to make sure they are well socialized, and trained prior to pick-up. I was amazed at how well trained he was at just 8 weeks old! I knew Mr. Gray was the perfect fit for us, and we don’t regret it one bit! He is extremely loving, attentive, curious, smart and sweet. We’ve only had him less than a week, and he’s doing GREAT! I cannot recommend Southland Goldens enough, and am extremely grateful for Alyson and her team!”

Nicolette Greco

“I couldn’t be happier with our puppy from Southland Goldens. I did extensive research on more breeders than I can count across the US and Alyson’s professionalism, quality of dog, and communication were far above the others. If you’re considering a pup from here, it’s truly worth the investment. Our boy is incredibly smart, confident, and sweet. Not to mention insanely cute. Thank you for our newest furry family member, Southland!”
