"Cathy is the best breeder I have seen in action! Her Goldens are all great temperament and active family dogs, Cathy puts her heart and soul into raising the standard for English cream golden retrievers, getting sires from Europe to encourage healthy and strong bloodlines. Her facilities are kept clean and she has great communication for all potential and forever families! We love her dogs and only see her for any golden retrievers pups, even tho we are out of state!"

"We couldn’t be happier with our Golden Retriever, Ryder, from Lakeshore! Ryder just turned two and is in perfect health—he’s not only beautiful but also incredibly friendly and loving. Cathy has been amazing throughout the entire process; she’s always there to answer any questions, big or small, even after we bring them home. It’s clear that she truly cares about the well-being of each puppy and ensuring families feel supported. If you’re considering a Golden Retriever, we highly recommend Lakeshore for a healthy, happy addition to your family!"

"Cathy truly cares about the Golden Retriever breed and it is evident in everything she does. Careful selection of parents, guidance for perspective families to the nurturing environment for the puppies yields some of the most wonderful four legged family members. The Lakeshore family is something special and you realize exactly that when you become part of the family. Lambeau is a wonderful example of a good natured, smart and loving Golden Retriever!"

"I did alot of research before calling Cathy Lambert of Lakeshore English Goldens. I wanted a smaller family breeder with excellent reputation. Since we had had 3 other wonderful Goldens live into their senior years, we were familiar with the breed but not Lakeshore Goldens. When I called Cathy, she welcomed us to come for a visit prior to making any commitment. We drove from Charlotte to Burlington. The visit was amazing! Beautiful property, Goldens running and joyous, spotless...Cathy answered all my questions about health and pedigree. Our 'Lovey' is now 18 months old. She has a perfect sweet Golden temperament, very well adjusted, playful, loves kids and adults, friendly with other dogs...we are so happy to have her in our life!!"

"Our sweet Maci Bea has been one busy girl! She’s quite the gardener and already had her first bath... from gardening. She loves her crate—maybe 3rd time’s the charm for us parents—and she’s doing great with going potty outside! She’s met the leaf blower, vacuum and lawn mower (not at the same time!!) and each gave her treats. Even without the treats, she couldn’t care less! I love this girl’s demeanor!! 
Cathy—you are AMAZING and I will sing your praises/recommend your pups to all!!"

— Shari Sauer – Bea and Ben 2020

"We are new to the Lakeshore Goldens family, but already so smitten with all of the beauty, brilliance, happiness, personality and sense of humor that shines from each and every one of the Lakeshore furballs that you all share here. Thank you, Cathy, for trusting us to take good care of one of your babies."

"Huge shout out to Cathy for doing a phenomenal job with her pups. Last night was Benny’s first night In a crate. He whined for 10 minutes and slept for 6 hours straight. He didn’t whine to get up, I just felt bad and got up to start our routine since I have to be at work at 7. Fantastic job! Every time I took him out, he did his business...not 1 accident!! Kudos, Cathy!"
