Planned Litters

Carova & Lake Gaston Goldens Are Proud To Announce our 2025/26 breeding plans! 

Teresa of Lake Gaston Goldens and I have been working together for few years. We have a great system in place that allows for one or both of us to be with puppies from the moment they are born to the moment they go into their new homes. Teresa and I take this commitment seriously and will not leave our babies with a third party such as ” kennel staff”. You get to know your puppies by being a part of their daily lives , allowing puppy placements with families much easier.

Spring 2026 litter

Carova’s Never Ending Story @ Lake Gaston” Journey ” has been bred to Steadmor’s  In Knit For The Money ” Barley”.  Puppies would go home in July. Applications now being accepted.

For information on our upcoming litters please email Carovagoldenretrievers@gmail.com 

Journey  is a beautiful girl with a true golden temperament. She has beautiful structure that allowed her to pick up AKC points from the puppy classes.  Unfortunately, life events conflicted with showing, forcing her show career to be delayed. We do have some wonderful show plans for her after this litter.J

We used Barley for our Giggles Litter and loved what he brought to our breeding programs. We know that he will compliment Journey in many ways such as the lovely golden temperament and wonderful structure.

Our Fall Litter will be the long awaited pairing of Dolly and ?

We know,  however, you will need to check back in June 🙂

Giggles, sister to Dolly, is also on our list to be bred in Fall/ Winter. Still deciding on that pairing so check back in around June for that information.
