Welcome to Nelson Retrievers

Deciding to get a dog as a pet is a huge decision. Selecting one from a litter is not a random act. At Nelson Retrievers, we try to pair you with a perfectly matched Certified AKC Golden Retriever puppy.


Starting from our first meeting, we learn what you are looking for in a pet: a family companion, a hunting dog, or a mixture of both. From there, we help match your desires to the temperament of a puppy that best fits your needs.


Nelson Retrievers is a family-owned and operated professional breeder for most of two decades. We are located conveniently just north of Minneapolis in the city of Ramsey, Minnesota. Whether you are a first time or returning customer, you will notice that we love all of our dogs and our dedication to them is evident in our worry-free promise to you.

Each of our puppies:

• Have been vet checked

• First shots

Dew claws removed

• De-wormed

• Two-year health guarantee


We would love to meet and assist you in adding your newest family member.

Call today.
