Bennington Hills Kennel is a family owned business that has been in operation for 20 years. Our business, which is also our home, is located on 40 beautiful country acres with a 7 acre pond, making for the perfect quiet country setting in which to raise our Golden Retrievers.

Besides breeding Golden Retrievers and running our fully operational kennel, we are involved in Golden Rescue. Linda is the former President of the Mid-Michigan Professional Pet Care Association.

Our Golden Retrievers are family raised. They are around active grandchildren along with other family members and friends on a daily basis. Our Goldens live for car rides and playing catch in the front yard. They are great all around people pets. Regardless if you are single or married, young or old, Golden Retrievers adapt well to all types of owners.

Our Goldens are bred for quality and soundness as well as ability to perform. We guarantee hips, hearts and eyes. All parents are on the premises and all are OFA, CERF, Heart Certified and AKC Registered.

Our puppies come with a One Year Written Health Guarantee. One half down deposit is required to hold your puppy, but is only 50% refundable.

We require a return agreement on all puppies. If for any reason a family person can no longer keep one of our puppies, it must be returned to us with no questions asked. We do this because we want to be sure that our puppies / dogs are always placed into safe loving homes. This is in no way reflected on the families who cannot keep them, but onto us as a caring Golden Retriever owner who wants to know where our Goldens are and that they are being well taken care of.

All puppies have their first set of shots and have been wormed and microchipped. When it is time to pick up your puppy, we ask for at least 45 minutes of your time to go over any and everything, questions you might have forgotten to ask or just didn't think about. And of course, you can always call with any questions you may have after you arrive home. We also provide you with an ample supply of written literature on and about Golden Retrievers and about raising your new puppy.

Many of our Golden Retrievers come home on a regular basis for visits and baths (boarding and grooming). We receive pictures of our Goldens and their families on a daily basis, whether it is of Christmas or just a family trip. We maintain contact with all our extended Golden family, which live from Maine to Texas, Florida to Washington, and even Turkey and Germany.

Grooming is done daily. We ask that you make reservations ahead of time. Groom prices vary on the breed of your dog and what is being done. Please feel free to call to get a groom estimate.

We welcome all inquiries for puppies or general information. We are members of The Golden Retriever Club of America.
