Why Durham Families Choose A Breed Above Kennels
Durham has a strong dog-friendly culture, and many of the families who contact us are Duke staff, students, and professionals who want an adaptable companion. Our puppies are socialized around children and other dogs from the start, so they settle quickly into apartments, townhomes, and family houses alike.

- Parents are health tested to reduce the risk of hereditary conditions
- Early socialization around children, household noise, and other dogs

Dog-Friendly Durham: Parks, Vets, and Resources
Durham gives a new dog plenty to do. Popular spots include Piney Wood Park Dog Park in south Durham, the dog park at Northgate Park, and the American Tobacco Trail for long leashed walks. For veterinary care, owners in the area use practices such as Park Veterinary Hospital, which is AAHA-accredited and Bull City Veterinary Hospital downtown. Duke Forest and the 22-mile American Tobacco Trail are local favorites once your puppy has finished its early vaccinations.
About Our Golden Retriever, Goldendoodle, and Mini Bernedoodle Puppies
Our Golden Retrievers are classic family dogs: gentle, loyal, and great with kids. Our Goldendoodles, in toy and standard sizes, are bright and low-shedding, a good match for families who want a friendly dog that is easier on allergies. Our Mini Bernedoodles bring the calm, affectionate Bernese temperament in a smaller package. You can see the breeds we raise on our breeds page and meet the dogs behind our program on the parents page.
