Meet the Dogs of
Great Lakes Retrievers
Our Dogs
At Great Lakes Retrievers, our breeding dogs are more than just parents. They’re cherished family members who embody the qualities we value in the breed: health, temperament, and intelligence. Every sire and dam is carefully selected for structure, temperament, and compatibility, ensuring the puppies we raise are well-adjusted, confident, and loving companions.
Meet Honey
Color: Red/Medium Golden
Size: Medium-Large
Honey is our beautiful red Golden Retriever and the proud mama (dam) of our upcoming litter. She has a smaller, refined frame and a rich red coat that truly makes her stand out.
Honey has a wonderful temperament that reflects everything we value in a family dog. She is fully potty trained, well-mannered, and incredibly good natured. She is a natural caregiver and a devoted, attentive mother to her puppies.
Her personality is the perfect blend of playful and affectionate. Honey loves spending time outdoors, especially playing fetch and carrying around her favorite toys in the backyard. She is very social and thrives on interaction, whether it’s with people or other dogs. She happily greets visitors with excitement and a wagging tail, always ready to make a new friend.
Despite being the runt of her litter, Honey has grown into a confident, outgoing, and loving dog. Her gentle spirit, playful energy, and strong maternal instincts make her an exceptional dam and a cherished part of our program.
Meet Arlo
Color: Light Golden
Size: Medium-Large
Arlo is the handsome Golden Retriever sire of our upcoming litter, known for his calm demeanor, gentle nature, and easygoing personality. With his larger frame and soft, light golden coat, almost blonde in color. Arlo has a classic and striking Golden Retriever appearance.
Often described as a “gentle giant,” Arlo brings a peaceful, steady presence wherever he goes. He has a happy-go-lucky personality and a naturally affectionate disposition, making him a joy to be around.
Arlo is owned and loved by a trusted fellow breeder, and we are so grateful to partner with them. He shares a special bond with Honey, and this will be their second litter together. We have been very pleased with the temperament, structure, and overall quality of their previous puppies.
With his calm temperament and loving nature, Arlo contributes wonderful traits to his puppies. We are excited to see these qualities continue in this upcoming litter.

Every Great Lakes Retrievers dog contributes to the next generation of healthy, well-tempered puppies. We maintain detailed records of lineage, health screenings, and temperament traits for each dog, ensuring that our breeding program continues to produce Goldens who thrive in loving homes.
