Riversbend Kennel

Welcome to Riversbend Goldens, where quality breeding, responsible care, and a passion for exceptional dogs come together. I am Jim Ellis, founder and owner of Riversbend Kennel. For over 30 years, I have dedicated my life to breeding elite-quality Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles that are known for their outstanding temperament, health, intelligence, and family-friendly nature.

At Riversbend, our mission is simple: to place "The Best Dog I've Ever Had" into loving homes. Every puppy is raised in a caring family environment where early socialization, health testing, and proper development are top priorities. Our breeding program is built on carefully maintained bloodlines, health-tested parents, and a commitment to producing healthy, well-adjusted companions for families across the United States.

We proudly offer AKC-registered Golden Retriever puppies and beautiful Goldendoodle puppies raised with love and attention from day one. Our parents undergo extensive health testing, including Embark and OFA evaluations, and every puppy is backed by our industry-leading 10-Year Genetic Health Guarantee.
