About Us
Hello! We're Ed and Patty Gillespie, and we raise Dark Golden Retrievers on our property in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, just 30 minutes from Auburn CA (off Hwy 80) or 45 minutes from Placerville (off Hwy 50).
If you have never owned a Golden Retriever, you are in for a treat. Goldens are so very loving and faithful - they really are the perfect companion and family dog!
Roux, our dam, is AKC registered, and OFA certified for heart, hips and elbows. She has been DNA cleared for any breeding issues.
** We are excited to share that our girl Roux had a litter of nine puppies on July 28, 2025. The litter consists of 5 females and 4 males.** These little ones will be ready for their new homes beginning Sept 22, 2025. The purchase price is $3000.00.
We are currently accepting deposits if you want us to hold a pup for you.
They're curious, social, playful, and beautiful! As they are here with their mama, they get lots of play time (and some pool time) with her and learn a lot from her.
Roux has "her own" Instagram account. You will find lots of pictures here - adog_namedroux
Before they find new homes, all our pups will have had their veterinarian check, first vaccine and deworming.
Your purchase of one of our pups includes a Bill of Sale, an Information Sheet on your puppy, which includes their vaccine info, a sample of the food they are currently on, as well as an AKC litter certificate, AKC Registration Paper for Proof of Breed and their very own teddy bear.
The dam, sire and litter are all AKC registered. Your purchase will include an application to register your puppy with AKC, if you wish to. We offer limited registration (no breeding rights).
Come see us, these little ones love visitors!

The sweetest addition
The love and care are reflected in our puppy, just turned a year and our family with 3 lively kids have enjoyed every second. He’s a little league baseball mascot, and the sweetest playful companion.
Raised with intentional love and care!
We are beyond grateful for our experience with Beyond Cool Golden Retrievers. Bringing our golden retriever puppy home has been one of the greatest joys for our family. From the very beginning, we could see the care, love, and family-style environment in which these puppies are raised.
Our pup is not only healthy and well-adjusted, but also incredibly affectionate, playful, and deeply connected to us in a way we’ve never experienced before. It’s clear that this emotional bond began with the intentional, loving start he received from the breeder.
The entire process was smooth, thoughtful, and filled with genuine care for both the puppies and the families they join. We couldn’t imagine a better addition to our home, and we will always be thankful to Beyond Cool for giving us such a wonderful gift. This is truly the most emotionally connected dog we’ve ever had, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!
The Best addition to our family
We got our best boy Denver from Beyond Cool Golden Retrievers. Ed and Patty were amazing to work with and very responsive to all our questions and patient as we made our choice for Denver. Mama Roux was sweet as can be and beautiful!
Denver is a gorgeous deep red color and we constantly get compliments on his coloring as well as his sweet personality. He is very intelligent and loves his family and fur brother and sister!
If you are looking for a new golden to join your family I would highly recommend Ed and Patty with Beyond Cool Golden Retrievers!

We got the perfect companion
Last year we brought home our little ROSSA from Beyond Cool Golden Retrievers, she has been the best addition to our family! Not only is she so sweet and loving but she seems to know instinctively when I am having a migraine and doesn’t want to leave my side. She loves the cats and pretty much anyone who comes over to visit.
I get tons of compliments on her stunning deep dark red color.
Ed and Patty were wonderful.. I highly recommend
