Golden Retrievers have been one of the most popular breeds in America for years. They possess the ideal temperament for an all around family dog.  Goldens are "people pleasers".  They are friendly, loving, gentle and eager.  Goldens are your best running mate, your keen hunting companion, your comfort on a sad day, and your morning ray of sunshine.

It is no wonder why I chose the Golden Retriever breed for the start of my kennel.  Calle Lily Kennels was founded in sunny San Diego, California in 2003 with Citrine's Snow White "Shakira".  Sweet and loving, Shakira bounced her way into our hearts and into the show ring.  In March of 2004, Shakira passed her Canine Good Citizen Test and started her show career in July.  She placed second at her first show at the Del Monte Kennel Club show in Seaside, California.

In October of 2006, Calle Lily Kennels relocated to the heart of beautiful Loveland, Colorado.  Located north of Denver, Loveland is known for it's friendliness and inviting atmosphere.  It is not surprising to find dogs welcome in banks or local stores and puppy treats at almost every fast-food restaurant.

   At Calle Lily Kennels we strive for the best temperament and conformation of the breed.  Our Goldens are not only bred for shows in conformation and agility, but as pets first.  At the end of the day they are a member of our immediate and extended family.  They are our comfort and we look forward to sharing them with you.
