WESTRIDGE GOLDENS: WHERE LOVE MEETS LEGACY
Our journey at Westridge Goldens began with a simple dream and a profound love for animals. In 2018, Ashley, alongside her husband Mike, embarked on a nationwide search to establish our breeding program, driven by their shared entrepreneurial spirit honed through their successful venture with Wash Masters.
With meticulous research and a commitment to excellence, they partnered with Majestic Mountain Goldens, laying the foundation for our legacy. With the arrival of Emily Jean (Emmi), our family welcomed not just a puppy, but the embodiment of our vision. Emmi’s presence marked the beginning of our mission to spread the joy of Golden Retrievers to families far and wide. Rooted in the values of love, dedication, and family, Westridge Goldens is more than a breeding business; it’s a testament to our shared passion and commitment. Alongside our three children, Mackenzie, Avery, and Kalen, who share our love for these majestic creatures, we nurture and care for each dog and puppy with unwavering devotion.
We are dedicated to raising happy, healthy, and lovable pups, encompassing the best of the Golden Retriever breed standards, through only the finest lines and pedigrees. Join our family at Westridge Goldens, where every wag of the tail is a promise of love, companionship, and the enduring legacy we’re proud to share with you.

Why Westridge Goldens
Dream
Years ago, our passion for dogs led us on countless visits to the local humane society, searching for that perfect furry companion to join our family. It wasn’t until we found Emmi, our first golden retriever, from an impeccable breeder in Tennessee that we knew our search was over. With her boundless love and unwavering loyalty, Emmi stole our hearts and ignited a passion within us.
As a family deeply devoted to our canine companions, we dreamed of creating a haven where dogs could thrive and families could find their perfect furry friend.
Fueled by our love for entrepreneurship and a commitment to exceptional standards in business and customer service, we embarked on a journey that would lead us to establish our own haven for dogs – Westridge Goldens.
Our family poured our hearts into this venture. Every wagging tail and joyful bark reminded us of the dream we set out to achieve. Our commitment to excellence and dedication to our four-legged family members became the cornerstone of Westridge Goldens.
Create
In our commitment to responsible breeding practices, all of our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health clearances, and we proudly offer a 2-year health guarantee for every pup we produce. Our dedication to maintaining contact with our clients ensures that our dogs live long, fulfilling lives, with many reaching the age of 10 to 14 years.
While pedigrees hold significance, we firmly believe that a nurturing environment and positive human interaction are paramount in raising healthy, happy, and confident dogs. That’s why we’ve developed a tailored protocol that emphasizes puppy observation and socialization from an early age.
As our puppies grow, we conduct various temperament tests to assess their unique personalities and characteristics. This allows us to match each puppy with the most suitable owner, whether they’re seeking a playful companion, a therapy dog, or a skilled hunter. By deeply engaging with our puppies, we ensure that they are well-prepared for their future roles and bring joy to their new families for years to come.
Develop
At Westridge Goldens, purchasing a puppy means joining our dedicated team with a shared goal: to provide you with a healthy, happy companion that seamlessly integrates into your family. We take this responsibility seriously and go above and beyond to support and educate you in nurturing your new addition.
The first 8 weeks of a puppy’s life are crucial for development, which is why each pup receives daily individual attention from birth, fostering confidence and resilience. By exposing them to various environments, noises, smells and interactions with people of all ages, including visits to schools and nursing homes, we ensure they are well-socialized and adaptable. Additionally, we introduce basic training elements like car rides and crate usage to facilitate a smooth transition to their new home.
Our personalized approach continues as we assess each puppy’s personality and temperament, allowing us to match them with the most suitable owner. We provide comprehensive guidance on vaccination schedules, potty training techniques, and obedience training, empowering you to raise a well-behaved and content companion. With a focus on creating the best pedigree with a strong health history, we strive to help you achieve your dream of a fulfilling and long lasting companionship with your new puppy.
