Here at Southern Shades Kennel and Golden Acres, we strive to produce healthy quality pups with the temperament that is so desired in a golden and have for over 20 yrs! With careful selection of top Multi-champion European import lines, we feel we have some of the best bloodlines available in the U.S. We are a small hobby breeder in Tennessee and our passion is only golden retrievers and our goal is to continue to improve the Golden Retriever Breed Standard. Although we do not enter the show ring ourselves, many of our dogs are show worthy. View our site and take a look at the pedigrees of our dogs....do your research and I am sure you will agree that we can provide that golden pup you so desire
