If you believe, like we do, that the original golden retriever intent still matters, you've come to the right place.

A program, A vision, A purpose

Our program is a full time passion. Now training our 5th generation golden retriever, we are driven by that passion to develop and preserve a 150 year old breed that has been a part of our family since 2005. As custodians, visionaries and contributors to this magnificent breed, we are fully invested in the preservation and development of the optimal working golden. The targeted result of our program is a well tempered, versatile, health tested golden retriever, suitable for: Hunt Tests, Field Trials, Hunting, SAR, Service, Therapy, Outdoor Enthusiasts and Active Families.

WM Farms breeder program stays current about the genetic and health challenges that affect the Golden Retriever breed worldwide. Genetic mutations are dynamic. WM Farms breeding stock are medically and behaviorally screened through genetic testing and daily field training scenarios. Knowing there is risk involved with breeding animals, especially those with existing inheritable traits, like goldens, WM Farms select pairs based on multiple criteria. Our primary focus is based on pedigree, temperament, health, structure and working usage. Including COI research and statistically allele pairing diversification. WM Farms Goldens program have grown its population gradually since 2005. It is impossible to guarantee that every single puppy will be successful, but steady program development and genetic testing assist program advancement. Now in our 5th generation, our goal is to advance health while fiercely retaining the characteristics and structure of the optimal field golden.
