Providing the Pinnacle of Show Quality Goldens for Your Next Forever Friend
Who we are...
Welcome to Pinnacle Golden Retrievers! We are the Johnsons, and our journey with Golden Retrievers began in 2014 after we settled on a charming farm in Leonard, Texas.
In 2014, Aspen joined our family, and her arrival sparked a new vision. Through the experience of finding and bringing her home, we realized there had to be a better way to place show-quality Goldens into loving family homes. This insight laid the foundation for Pinnacle Golden Retrievers. We were determined to become a reputable breeder with a strong desire to place quality Goldens in family homes.
Since the beginning, we’ve partnered with a dedicated mentor to enhance the breed, always with the goal of combining excellence in breeding with personalized attention for each family we work with. At Pinnacle Golden Retrievers, we are passionate about helping families find their perfect furry companion and are excited to share our love for this wonderful breed with you.
Thank you for considering us in your search for a forever friend. We look forward to the opportunity to help you welcome a new Golden Retriever into your home!

Our Mission
At Pinnacle Golden Retrievers, our mission is to breed and nurture Golden Retrievers of unparalleled quality, embodying the breed’s renowned traits of intelligence, loyalty, and kindness. We are committed to fostering the highest standards of health, temperament, and overall well-being in every puppy we raise. Our goal is to bring joy and companionship to families, ensuring each Golden Retriever finds its perfect home and thrives as a beloved member of the family. Through ethical breeding practices and a deep passion for the breed, we strive to set the pinnacle of excellence in Golden Retriever care and development.
Our breeding program:
Before we consider breeding dogs, they must receive OFA clearances for hips/elbows, heart, and eyes.
We meticulously match our dam and sire to ensure the highest quality in our Golden Retrievers, considering each dog's personality, temperament, and breed excellence to produce exceptional puppies.
Those on our waitlist will be notified via email once we have confirmed a pregnancy, and we will begin accepting deposits. Pick of puppy will be determined based on the order in which deposits are received.
DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE UNLESS WE DO NOT HAVE YOUR PREFERRED GENDER AVAILABLE.
We will accept additional deposits to reserve any remaining puppies once the litter is born.
Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age and will receive the first round of shots before heading to their new homes.
All puppies will be microchipped before going to their new homes.
* Texas Sales Tax is charged for all Golden Retriever Sales
What sets us apart:
Puppy Socialization
Crate Training
Potty Training
No need to worry about your new puppy’s socialization; we ensure each one is well-socialized and accustomed to various environments and experiences before they join their new families.
As part of our process, we start crate training all our puppies around 5 weeks of age to help them develop good habits and a sense of security in their new homes.
Early on, we introduce potty training techniques to our puppies in the hopes that they will adapt quickly and seamlessly to their new homes, making the transition smoother for both them and their new families.

The day we had to say good bye to our 10yr old Golden, we were introduced to the amazing family at Pinnacle Goldens. The entire time from first introduction to puppy pick out day we were getting updates and pictures. The day we got to meet our new puppy, they were so helpful in guiding us into the right puppy for our family. From the moment our new puppy came home, he truly was everything we were looking for. He has the sweetest temperament and very well behaved and easily trained. This is not just a dog, or another golden, he is a family member. Soon he will be trained for service as a therapy dog for a fire department. We highly recommend Pinnacle Goldens. If you are looking for pet quality family member, service dog, to show quality, you will be satisfied with this breeder.
