Shadalane: Fantastic breeding, training and boarding facility

Earlier this year, a devoted dog owner lost their beloved golden retriever, who had been bred, raised, and trained at Shadalane’s Puppy Training Academy in 2011. More than just physically beautiful and impeccably trained, the dog was intelligent, healthy, and had a remarkable personality. He accompanied his owner to work every day and became the unofficial therapy dog in a high-stress department at a large corporation. He made a lasting impact on countless people—many of whom were inspired to get golden retrievers of their own after knowing him. When he passed away, his many workplace friends mourned his loss with heartfelt emotion.

When it came time to find a new companion, there was never a question of going anywhere other than Shadalane. From the moment Alan and our team learned the news, we went above and beyond to find not just a great dog, but the right dog for this particular owner. The staff at Shadalane understands a true match between human and dog goes far beyond appearances or training—it’s about connection. They take the time to learn about prospective owners, listen closely to their preferences and needs, and work diligently to ensure the best possible match.

Shadalane isn’t just in the business of breeding and training dogs; they specialize in creating lifelong bonds between people and their pets. Just a week ago, this grateful owner welcomed a new Shadalane golden retriever into their life—and it’s already clear that the match is a great one. It took a few months of thoughtful consideration and care to find the right fit, but the result was more than worth the wait.

While not one to write glowing reviews lightly, this owner recommends Shadalane puppies and training without a moment’s hesitation.
