Colorados Finest Kennel and Ranch

Coming up on six years with my girl Bota 🐾💛 and it felt like the right time to finally share this… From the very beginning, the experience with this kennel was seamless. You were kind, communicative, and so flexible throughout the process, which made all the difference. Six years later, I’m still grateful every single day. If you’re considering a golden, I can’t recommend this kennel enough. Bota is the best thing that’s ever happened to me—and it all started here.

After losing my senior dog, I became interested in golden retrievers after seeing my friend’s golden with her baby. He was such a good dog, and she told me she got it at Colorado’s Finest Kennels and Ranch. I decided to get my first golden, Loki, from Colorado’s Finest Kennels, and he is my soul dog! Just perfect in every way! 🥹 So a few years later, I went back to Colorado Finest Kennels and got my second golden pup, Maui. Both of my goldens are the best pups ever! They have great, loving personalities and are SO good with my small kids! We just adore them! And Debbie was so great to work with, and I will always recommend Colorado’s Finest Kennels to others! Here are some pics of Loki and Maui. 🐶🐶❤️

I got my puppy, Charlie from a family that bought him from Colorado’s Finest and had to rehome him 3 weeks after, for personal reasons. My little Charlie Grey is the most handsome, precious, gentle guy 🥹 he’s my whole world. I have to make myself stop from reaching out to get another one so he can have a sibling. One day. He’s so beautiful and docile and such a gift to me. I would definitely recommend these pups!

Updating my review for the third time August 2025: We adopted four goldens from Mark and Deb. Echo (Judge x Chassy) in March 2014, Mango (Hank x Adeline) in October 2020, Kiwi (Diesel x Honey) in April 2024, and most recently Navia (Max x Pearl) in August 2025. Each and every one of our girls have vastly different personalities but have amazing temperaments and are the absolute best companion dogs to have. My sweet, incredible, near-perfect soul dog Echo passed in October of 2024 and I waited for ten months for her to send me another puppy when I was ready. Though I've lived with Mango and Kiwi, I moved out last year and those two pups are technically my parents' dogs, so I had no dog of my own after Echo passed away. I let Deb and Mark know when I was ready to adopt again and we scheduled a relative date as to when puppies would be ready. When a litter of five females came along, I made the appointment, hoping Echo would guide me to the puppy she meant for me to have. Navy came right to me as the first puppy and I knew she was the one when I started bawling as soon as I picked her up. Despite undergoing a surgery the same week, Mark was up and at it taking care of the adults and bringing us puppies and he and Deb are always great and personable to talk to as we go through the adoption process, which doesn't take as long after you've been around the block a time or two. Already, Navy is picking up on things that her big sisters and my boyfriend's dog are teaching her, but some things she naturally knew like fetch (as any golden retriever would know), and following us everywhere we go. She's an amazingly calm and gentle puppy, even if she is a little mischievous and curious as all puppies are. This is absolutely the place to go for your golden retriever adoption (as well as for labs, goldadors, goldendoodles, and a few smaller breeds as well, I believe.) These are lifelong companions and every single dog has stunning looks and wonderful temperaments. Thank you, as always, Deb and Mark. Original post Nov 2020: Debbie and Mark are busy breeders with multiple breeds and litters to care for but The Ranch is tidy, clean, and has a spectacular view. You can tell by the pups' attitudes that they are happy, healthy, and descended from other amazing dogs. I've read a couple reviews from potential buyers who complain about not being able to communicate with Mark and Debbie but keep in mind this is a breeder that has to care for dozens of animals a day while also communicating with various people with interest in buying pups. Multiple litters are born every month or so and Debbie and Mark devote all their time into making sure those puppies are well cared for on top of providing for the adult dogs so a little delay in responses is to be expected if anyone happens to have some trouble getting a hold of them. After all, they aren't hovering over their phones and computers at all times waiting for the next buyer and their location can have dodgy reception, as they do live on a ranch. We're incredibly lucky and have nothing but the highest praise to give Mark and Debbie for providing us with our wonderful girls.

We got our goldendoodle from this breeder and he is the light of our lives. He has the best temper, is so smart, and everywhere we go with him people tell us how beautiful he is. His trainer said he is one of the most beautiful doodles she’s ever seen. He is healthy and happy and we could not be happier with him :) I also love that they don’t charge an arm and a leg for doodles like a lot of breeders in the area do. Thank you for our wonderful boy! ❤️
