About Golden Ridge Homestead
We're Sam Zook, a family-run breeder in Honey Brook, PA. Every puppy is raised with daily care and family involvement.
Our story
Golden Ridge Homestead raises Golden Retriever puppies in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, with a focus on responsible care, health, early socialization, and thoughtful placement with families. Since 2015, we have worked to give each puppy a strong foundation and provide continued support throughout the adoption journey.
Why we do this
As a proud member of the Responsible Dog Breeder Network, Golden Ridge Homestead is committed to raising Golden Retriever puppies with care, purpose, and integrity.
Every puppy from our program is:
Health-Checked
Our puppies receive appropriate health attention and are carefully observed throughout their early development.
From Genetically Tested Parents
Our breeding program includes genetic testing of parent dogs as part of our responsible breeding practices.
Raised in a Clean, Safe, and Enriching Environment
We provide our puppies with a safe and attentive setting that supports their early growth and development.
Socialized Daily
Our puppies receive regular interaction and age-appropriate socialization to help build confidence and prepare them for family life.
Supported Beyond Adoption
Our commitment does not end when a puppy goes home. We remain available to provide continued breeder support to the families who adopt from us.
We do not simply breed dogs—we raise family companions and work to thoughtfully match them with loving homes.
"There is nothing quite like the steady companionship of a Golden Retriever by your side."
Our History
We are very happy you are here. We have been breeding dogs since 2015, and after spending time with several breeds over the years, we realized that Golden Retrievers were the right choice for our family and breeding program.
Their easygoing personalities, loyalty, and affectionate nature are what make Golden Retrievers so special to us. We enjoy sharing that same enthusiasm with families looking for a loving and dependable companion.
Our goal is to raise quality Golden Retriever puppies with sound conformation, caring temperaments, and a strong foundation for family life.
Supporting Your Puppy’s Transition Home
We want to send every puppy to their new home with as much love, care, and support as possible. Our goal is to help families feel informed and prepared as they welcome their Golden Retriever puppy home.
Trupanion Medical Coverage Offer
We have partnered with Trupanion so eligible puppies may receive immediate medical coverage through a Trupanion policy.
This limited-time offer provides 90% coverage with no payout limits, helping families have peace of mind if an unexpected accident or injury occurs after activation. Your puppy’s current health status is locked in from the first day of coverage.
The offer is valid from the match date until 24 hours after puppy pickup. A phone call is required to activate the policy.
Please contact us directly for current eligibility, activation instructions, and complete policy details.
PawTree Puppy Food
We strive to give each puppy a nutritious start, which is why we feed PawTree dog food.
Each puppy goes home with a small amount of the food they are currently eating. Because this supply may only last approximately one day, we recommend ordering additional food in advance to help your puppy transition smoothly into their new home.
Please contact us with questions about the food, ordering process, or feeding routine.

We do the hard work — so they're ready

Whelped in a clean, climate-controlled whelping area and monitored closely.
Daily handling and developmentally appropriate exposure — sounds, surfaces, people — building a confident, calm adult.
Crate, potty, and leash training all begin before a puppy ever leaves us.
Well-adjusted, confident, and vet-cleared — ready to give unconditional love and steadfast comfort.
A small, home-centered program in Honey Brook, PA
Located near Honey Brook, PA, Golden Ridge Homestead is family-run, where every puppy is raised inside the home — not in a kennel. Our property is where our dogs live, play, and grow alongside our family, giving them a strong foundation of comfort and real-life experiences from day one.
We proudly welcome families near and far. Because our program is intentionally small, visits and placements are scheduled in advance through our waitlist.
Health first — always
Golden Retrievers are a wonderful breed with known health considerations, and we take them seriously. We are intentional about our dam and sire pairings, and both parents complete health screening before any litter is planned.
