Our Program

Sierra Knights Goldens exists to raise healthy, sound, breed standard, well-socialized puppies for families and individuals as companions or in service.

Sierra Knights Goldens had its first golden litter in 1995. We now specialize in European standard, (English Cream, White, Blond, Platinum) Golden Retrievers. European Goldens are classified in 4 colors. Cream, light golden, golden and dark golden. It isn’t about color, it is about standard and health. Statistically they are found to have significantly less cancer and live longer. All things we love about the Euro standard.

Our puppies are healthy, genetically diverse, intelligent, fun, loving and well socialized Golden Retrievers.

Our AKC registered dogs have champion bloodlines, all have clearances and strong health histories, they are excellent for Service, Therapy, and Emotional Support dogs, as well as family pets.

Our History

Rick and Vicci had their first golden litter in 1995. 2 pups from that first litter became therapy dogs. The next litter a reading dog. Soon after it blossomed into mobility and other types of service dogs from our litters! We found such joy being able to help.

Vicci has managed, worked and volunteered for various rescue organizations and at professional training facilities. She has also worked with exotic birds and reptiles, and farm animals. She attended many veterinary, training and social skills classes (in relation to animals and people) and dog training programs.

Rick and Vicci have completed home study training courses as well as ongoing seminars on breeding, training and veterinary studies. Rick has worked in Pet Store management and Vicci in Pet Care.

Rick and Vicci volunteered at rescues together for 9 years in California. We helped with visiting therapy programs and pet food delivery to for families in need. We have had many foster pets too. Currently we rescue adult goldens, cats, a rabbit or two also. Truthfully any animal in need.

2008 was the beginning of training in our home. We now only train with our pups and their canine and human families.

2015 We began working with Veterans Puppy For life. The organizations first pup was one of our pups. Since then Rick and Vicci have been involved with the organisation in many facets. VPFL became Heros Puppy for life. In 2021 Vicci became the “Puppy Coordinator” For Hero’s Puppy For Life. Vicci assists HPFL in finding puppies with the correct service aptitudes for the program. Puppy coordinator also handles forever placement of dogs or pups leaving the program.

Sierra Knights Goldens consults with Organizations, Breeders and private parties. We specialize in Golden Retrievers, puppy and dog aptitudes,  evaluation of dog and human dog teams, cainine health and training alturnatives.

Sierra Knights Goldens is partnered with breeders who have litters in their homes. All litters are raised by the standards Sierra Knights Goldens has set. These standards are listed below. We coordinate purchase and placement of puppies with their new individuals or families.
