We provided select families with quality, champion line AKC Golden Retrievers from 2004-2017. The Starbright Golden line has retired.
Our 2017 Gen 3 litter was the last litter for Starbright Goldens. It had been our intent to offer Zayah, of the Gen 3 May Flowers 3 litter, for stud service. Unfortunately Zayah has developed some rather severe seasonal allergies. Because of this, it would not be responsible to breed him. We continue to be a central sharing spot for news and information about our three generations of Starbright G
oldens. It has been a true pleasure creating the community that is Starbright Goldens. We are honored to be a part of so many families over the years.

We began our Starbright Golden Journey 20 years ago today with a litter of 12 puppies we affectionately labeled our “Hot August Night” puppies. Oh the things we learned about life and Golden puppies from those 12 sweet babies in the 8 to 12 weeks they spent with us!
🔆🎂🎉Happy Heavenly Birthday Starbright Goldens’ Hot August Nights’ Babs, Elsa, Maddie, Miah, Kita, Sadie, Sara, Scarlett, Sydney, Jake, Jack, and Spirit!🥳🤍✨

24 more inches of snow since the previous video. Still exuberant- but the deep snow slows the going. 💛
Bella isn’t having it as she hangs in the plowed driveway. Be like Bella. 🤗💗
Oh Zayah! 💛 Such exuberance.
Zayah swims. What a difference a year makes. 💛
Zayah 💛 Taller than Momma Bella. But she can flip him over thanks to her extra anchorage. ❤
Zayah has developed a sassy side.
Post swim swim. Every AM. 😎

Our community began in 1999 when Santa delivered a delightful, bull headed and loving Starbright to our house. He became the proud papa to several litters with his mate Anna- who lived in Jim Falls. Then in 2004 we began here with our first Gen 1 litter- and parents Anna Star’s Golden Honey and Boettcher’s Cesar. The ‘04 Hot August Nights 12 were followed by the ‘05 Pot O Goldens 12; and the ‘06 March Madness 12. Sadly, Honey passed in July of 2006.
Our Gen 2 momma- Starbright’s Golden Sunrise teamed up with our ‘06 March Madness boy, Gus the Golden Hunter. In 2010 Gen 2 began with nine April Showers puppies, and in 2012 ten Fireworks puppies were born on July 6 before Sunny was retired.
Starbright Royal Bella Bright- a 2012 Fireworks girl, finally made Sunny and Gus grandparents with our Gen 3 May Flowers 3 born under a spring moon in the wee hours of May 12, 2017. Because all 3 are boys, and Ms Bella is now six, we have retired from having Starbright Golden litters here on site.
It continues to be an honor and a privilege to share in the lives of so many of our Starbright Goldens. This page is a great forum for keeping in touch with our golden families.
We will usher in a new chapter, when- pictured above- Starbright’s Moonlight- Gizii Wayseyahbaan (ojibwi for moonlit dawn)- affectionately known as Zayah- turns 2 in 2019. He will be available then for stud service. AKC registered, he will have clearance and certification for his eyes, heart and hips.
For those seeking a Starbright Golden puppy, we can use our Pick of the Litter option, or refer you to those breeders who have Zayah’s “kids”. We will spend as much time as possible with any of our Pick of the Litter placements to assist in socialization and life preparation- in keeping with the Starbright Way, and it is our hope any of you using this option would be able to be involved as well.
