Our Golden Story

We are the Kauranen family from Southeastern, MA. Other than the love that we share for one another, we share a common passion for our Golden Retrievers. Our first Golden put us under 'The Golden Spell'. Her name was Shadow and is 13 years old in this picture. We spend much of our time and energy making sure the Goldens that own us, are happy and healthy. Our first litter of puppies was born in 1994 and historically Sapphire Goldens produce 3 litters per year. Our girls are from champion pedigrees and although we have always used Champions from local Show Kennels, we are hoping that we will have our own champions someday. All have hip, elbow, heart and eye clearances, as well as genetic testing.   Our objective is to raise Golden Retrievers that are healthy, beautiful to the breed standard, and have that "I want to be by your side" personality.

We are a proud member of the Golden Retriever Club of America, American Kennel Club & Yankee Golden Retriever Club.
