Goldenridge Acres

Goldenridge Acres is currently closed as we focus on raising our young family.

We are not planning any litters for the near future, but we will continue to offer dog food sales to our existing customers.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. ❤️

Welcome to Goldenridge Acres! Mark and Melissa Barnard are proud breeders of Health Tested, CKC Registered Golden Retrievers!

Mark, Melissa, and our 4 Golden Retrievers proudly sit on the picturesque Kingston Peninsula, just 35 minutes from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. As dedicated members of organizations such as the Canadian Kennel Club, the Maritime Golden Retriever Club (where Melissa serves on the executive committee), the Golden Retriever Club of Canada, we uphold the highest standards of excellence and strictly adhere to the Code of Ethics set fourth by these clubs. This means that each of all of our beloved breeding Goldens undergo rigorous health clearances and we prioritize the well-being and genetic integrity of our dogs.
