Liberty Run Golden Retrievers Farm and Facilities

Liberty Run Golden Retrievers is a fully licensed dog kennel in the State of Maryland.  That means we are inspected annually by Carroll County Government (Maryland) and the Humane Society.  We own our breeding Golden Retrievers, and they reside here on our farm with us.  If you visit, you will find no more than ten adult Golden Retrievers.   In some rare instances, parents of our Golden Retriever Puppies don't live here because they are owned by good friends of ours.

We at Liberty Run Goldens are committed to improving the Golden Retriever Breed, just like we have dedicated ourselves to caring for our environment.  With both Golden Retrievers and the environment, it's not just a bunch of talk.  We live it.  The two turbines (pictured at left) generate all the electricity we need here on our farm.  And with respect to breeding, there's more to it than just pedigrees and health certificates.  Yes, they're a good start -- and we have original OFA, SAS and CERF clearances on our parents (you get copies) & sometimes grandparents -- but they are not the whole picture.  When you visit, we'll show you the most important part of our program -- something others can't offer you.  Be sure to ask us about this when you visit.
Liberty Run Golden Retrievers utilizes wind energy equipment provided and installed by Banner Home Solutions, Mt. Airy, MD.  Ask for Joe!  He's awesome.

Liberty Run Goldens is dedicated to improving the Golden Retriever breed.  Intentions aside, it takes adequate facilities to accomplish such a mission. Sure, we could have stuffed our Goldens in crates and confined them to a basement in some suburban home, but we took a different approach. Instead, we moved to southern Carroll County, Maryland -- an area populated by farms and tractors, not homes and mini-vans. Sure, it's not close to malls, but we have ponds and fields right outside our back door. It's like having a Golden "test track" right in our back yard. Because we run, swim, and train our dogs, we know they are well balanced, healthy, and happy -- ideal candidates for producing healthy, smart and confident puppies.

We knew when we first moved into our home that it needed many repairs. It had been neglected for so long. And we knew when beginning to breed Goldens that it was a breed plagued with health problems. In the same way that we have successfully renovated our home, we strive to improve the Golden Retriever breed. The renovations to buildings can easily be seen by viewing "before" and "after" photos. Also easy to observe is the quality of our puppies. Just take a look at what families have to say about them -- visit our Testimonials page.

Our kennel is a state of the art facility admired by veterinarians, Golden enthusiasts and dog lovers, alike that has visited, not to mention the humane society and county inspectors.  They call this place a dream come true -- to be with so many calm Goldens in such a clean facility. 

When you visit, you see everything.  We hide nothing.  It's all out in the open for you to see and inspect, including copies of original OFA, CERF and SAS clearances on our parents (and in most instances grand-parents and great grand-parents, too). 

We have also brought you the internet's first puppy cam so you can see our kennel from the comfort of your computer.  Of course, the best way to see it is in person, and we welcome you to visit at your convenience (please call to let us know you're coming -- that way we can be sure to be here when you arrive).

You may think that a puppy born on a quiet, ol' farm would be incapable of surviving in your environment. This is far from true! Here at Liberty Run, we go to a great extent to socialize our pups. They never flinch at the sound of loud farm equipment, our Harley motorcycles, or even thunderstorms. We surround our puppies with many different people, too. Young and not-so-young.  So the puppies are used to lots of people.  Our home-schooled kids would spend all day with the doggies and puppies if it weren't for school!

Here at Liberty Run, your puppy is started on crate training.  As a result, most of our pups are house broken in less than three days.   How? Stop on by and we'll show you the processes we follow that separate us from other breeders.  Because our puppies never had the opportunity to make a "mistake", it's very easy for you to house train your puppy.

Think about the typical breeder who boasts he or she raises puppies in their home.  There's no way puppies are taken outside each and every time they need to relieve themselves.  So the puppies become conditioned to poop and pee inside.  Guess what happens when you get their puppy home?  That's right.  The pup wants to poop and pee inside your house too.  He's been conditioned to do it by the breeder.  And now it's your job to un-train bad training and start all over.  That's not the start of a good relationship.

When you visit Liberty Run, we'll show you the methodology we use to make raising an exceptional companion Golden Retriever the true joy that it should be.  We get you started on the right foot -- superb breeding and  our family's 40 years experience raising dogs full-time.
