About Innisfree Kennels
A family-owned kennel dedicated to caring for dogs and producing exceptional Golden Retrievers for more than 50 years.
A Tradition of Caring for Dogs Since 1970
For more than five decades, Innisfree Kennels has provided trusted care for dogs and families throughout Missouri. What began as a passion for Golden Retrievers has grown into a respected kennel built on experience, responsible breeding, and a genuine love for the dogs we serve.
Our approach has always been centered around quality over quantity. From our boarding services to our breeding program, we take pride in providing individual attention, maintaining high standards, and creating an environment where dogs can thrive.
Whether welcoming a family pet for a boarding stay or raising a future companion from one of our litters, we believe every dog deserves patience, care, and a strong foundation for a happy life.
Why Choose Innisfree Kennels
Experience, dedication, and responsible practices have guided our kennel since 1970.
Half a Century of Experience
Five decades spent working with dogs have given us the knowledge and understanding needed to provide dependable care and thoughtfully planned breeding.
Family-Owned & Personally Operated
As a family-owned kennel, we value personal relationships with every owner and take pride in knowing the dogs entrusted to our care.
Responsible Golden Retriever Breeding
Our breeding program focuses on health, temperament, and proven bloodlines to produce well-rounded Golden Retrievers for families and active homes.
Dedicated to Quality Golden Retrievers
At Innisfree Kennels, our Golden Retriever breeding program is built around careful selection and responsible practices. We prioritize health testing, sound temperaments, and pedigrees with proven field backgrounds to help produce dogs that excel as companions, sporting partners, and working dogs.
We believe a great Golden Retriever begins with thoughtful breeding decisions. Each dog in our program is evaluated for the qualities that matter most: health, intelligence, trainability, and the friendly nature that has made the breed beloved around the world.
A Trusted Partner for Dog Owners
Our relationships with families extend beyond a single visit or puppy placement. Many of our boarding clients return year after year because they know their dogs will receive attentive care in a safe, comfortable environment.
We are proud to be part of the greater Golden Retriever community and maintain memberships with organizations including the Golden Retriever Club of America, the Golden Retriever Club of Greater St. Louis, and the Mississippi Valley Retriever Club.
