About our place

Clear Lake Kennel is. a member of Breeder of HAERT with AKC accreditation, establishing us as one of Washington's premier Golden Retriever breeders. Our puppies receive exceptional care, raised in our nurturing home environment, where they are handled from birth, socialized with our children, and proudly carry AKC registration. Our parent dogs are true AKC purebreds, undergoing thorough DNA testing and OFA screenings for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart, ensuring their exceptional health. When you bring one of our puppies into your family, you'll also receive a comprehensive package, including a 2-year health guarantee, initial vaccinations, a veterinary wellness examination, deworming, dewclaw removal, and microchipping. Our passion extends to preserving the beauty of nature's creation through responsible breeding practices, and we bring over seven years of experience to this endeavor. The story of breeding Golden Retriever puppies in Seattle began with Nate and Luda, who founded Clear Lake Kennel. Their deep-rooted love for dogs, nurtured since childhood, led them on a profound journey of planning, research, consultations, kennel visits, and the careful selection of the perfect breed for their breeding program. We firmly believe that love for dogs encompasses both rescue and responsible breeding. Our choice of Golden Retrievers reflects our genuine affection for the breed, celebrated for its intelligence, family-friendliness, love for people and children, compassion, gentleness, playfulness, and exquisite beauty. Within our family, Nate excels as a general contractor, specializing in remodeling homes, kitchens, and bathrooms, where he takes joy in making people's dreams come true. Luda, a professional seamstress, transitioned to a stay-at-home role as our family grew, and she found her calling in Clear Lake Kennel. Today, Luda dedicates herself to the well-being of our dogs, from late-night labor assistance to daily care, grooming, walking, and household management. Our children play pivotal roles in our family and kennel life. Eliana, our eldest daughter, is homeschooled and contributes significantly to family chores. Eliam and Johnny, our entrepreneurial-minded sons, continually brainstorm new ideas. Aviana and Abiah are adept at handling and playing with puppies, sharing their favorite puppy and the special characteristics they observe. Together, we cherish our Sunday church services and cherish time spent with friends, often inviting them to join in the joy of playing with our precious puppies.
