We have been loving & breeding golden retrievers, In the state of Virginia: since 1995.
All our goldens are AKC registered, are OFA or Penn-hip, CERF and SAS certified. Which means there is no hip dysplasia or congenital heart or eye diseases found in our goldens. Our stud's also have DNA.
Our puppies are raised in the country with our 13 children. Therefore the puppies are well socialized.
Parent's are on premises(some grandparent's & great-grandparent's are too).(We occasionally have older retired goldens, up for adoption).
Some of our goldens have champion lines with excellent pedigree's! (NAUTILUS, ASTERLING, MEADOWPOND, MARDOVER, GOLDWING, GOLD-RUSH, TOPBRASS, EDGEHILL, VANREEL, SUNSHINE HILLS, WESTBEN'S, LAURELL'S ,PEKAY, BONACRES) etc....(You can veiw pedigree's at k9data.com).We also have added 3 Newfoundlands to our family! http://www.churchmountainnewfoundlands.org

All dogs are pets ~ But "GOLDENS" are family!
" I AM A BREEDER"
I am a breeder
My food receipts for a family of 12 and my dog food bills match
My water bill has doubled
My electric has tripled
It is I, a breeder, who when my fridge quit, saved the dog meds and let the food go bad.
My feet find the way to the kennel before I have even grabbed a cup of coffee in the morning and the kennel is my last stop before bed.
While my friends are on a cruise to the Bahamas and my family meets for Christmas I am home delivering puppies
I haven't had a real vacation in 14 years, but maybe soon.
All plans are made around heat dates, whelp dates and vet dates.
I shower and 10 minutes later my kids say I smell like a dog
My clothes are all stained with fecal matter, urine, afterbirth or bleach
I have to remember to clean my shoes before church
Most of my friends breed dogs - who else can you call at 3 am for support?
Who else has the experience I sometimes need, the med I sometimes need, or just an uplifting word I sometimes need ?
Who else would understand how it feels to have invested hours and hours and hours in a weak puppy to lose it?
Or the joy in investing hours in one that lives?
I have slept on the floor beside a litter until the crucial 2 weeks have passed.
I have bottle fed a litter of 12..feeding every 2 hours and it taking 90 minutes to do for weeks at a time.
I have learned to be proficient at micro chipping, vaccinations, sub q fluids, bottle feeding and tube feeding.
my vet knows me by first name
the vet knows my children
the vet now knows my grand children
my vet knows it was I who added on the wing to the vet clinic
I am a breeder
It is to me that 63 days takes on new meaning still excited by every new life
it is I who delivers all my pups, towels and heat lamps on ready happiness and sadness sometimes intermingled
Even though it increases my work load, I look forward to the 10 day stage when eyes open, and puppies begin to emerge from the helplessness of newborns.
Puppy breath, a first bark, and a heart of exploration.
I am not uneducated, unemployable, illiterate or lazy as some Animal Rights folks would imply of breeders.
I am a conscientious lover of animals and I have found my niche.
I am a breeder.
And although I feel no shame there is a part of me that feels the need to hide from powers that could come to invade my home and take my dogs ...
maybe for finding a mild infraction, a leaf in the water dish?
A kennel not yet cleaned for the day?
A rash I am home treating?
I tell my children and grand children to hush, do not tell others we are dog breeders, and I wonder when did breeding puppies go into the same secret place as criminal activity?
I am a breeder and I am not cruel, dumb, uncaring or criminal.
I am not raking in money while sitting on my butt.
Every penny I make I earn through blood, sweat and tears.
My greatest joy is a healthy puppy and a wonderful home.
The cards of thanks and the pictures of my puppy with its new family is the fringe benefits of my efforts.
I am an animal lover, nurse, midwife, heavy laborer, customer service representative, and marketer.
AND I am a breeder.

Camie-
Dooley is doing great! He is such a fun little guy! He has so much personality and just takes life as it comes.
A family friend of ours - who is a professional photographer - saw Dooley on Christmas Eve and asked if he could take some pictures of him. He took them yesterday and these are the best ones.
Hope all is well with you and your family!

I believe that there are no better Goldens then the ones at Church Mountain. Camies attention to detail shows in there health and temperament. All of her dogs have the best personality seem to never meet a stranger. I would not go anywhere else for my Goldens. I am truly blessed to own 2 of Church Mountains quality pets. I believe that Camies understanding of the breed and love for her animals is truly apparent to who ever drives up that dirt road and sees those beauties waiting for you. I will remember that forever. Camie's availability to her prospective owners and current owners is evident with her message board, which by the way truly stands her out. Its a great tool for people who own goldens and have questions, get support and feel like they belong to the golden community.Camie is always prompt with retrurning emails, message board questions or phone calls. Her animals are wonderfully socialized by her beautiful kids as evident with all the wonderful pictures on her website. Camie and Church Mountain are true stand outs for wonderful, quality, affordable well bred Golden Retrievers. I want to thank Camie for being who she is and doing what she does....tara

We bought our Daisy from Church Mountain Kennel August 2007. She was from Jake and Josie's litter. WE ADORE our Daisy and we are so thankful for Church Mountain Kennel, they are the best!! Camie is a very hard working, devoted and respectable breeder. And she breeds the most beautiful, loving Goldens with A+ personalities!! Daisy never ceases to amaze us with her wonderful personality, and desire to please and OBEY! We have had NO problems with Daisy and she was SUPER easy to train!!!!!We ADORE HER and she is PERFECT for our family and EXACTLY what we were hoping for in a GOLDEN RETRIEVER! We searched LONG and HARD to find a breeder with Church Mountains credentials and NOW that we have found them.....we would NOT go anywhere else!!! We are planning to purchase a male golden from Camie in the near future and CANNOT wait to visit and pick out our new puppy to be a companion for Daisy and SEE CAMIE and her family and get to see all her WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN family as well!! WE LOVE CHURCH MOUNTAIN KENNEL and are so thankful for CAMIE and the wonderful lady and respectable breeder that she is!! debbie

ABOVE- Dooley's mommy emailed us this update:
Camie-
I just wanted to write to give you a quick update on Dooley. He is doing great and is way too much fun!! He can be a little rascal but I wouldn't trade him for the world. He has developed quite the little personality. He is so sweet and gentle but also has a wild side and is ALL BOY! He loves to play and get dirty and run around the back yard like a wild man. But when he comes inside he is perfectly content to lay down right next to me and take a nap.
Last weekend, my brother did a half iron man triathlon in FL and so of course I took Dooley. He was quite the hit! Everyone complimented him on how pretty he was (they can't resist those curls he's developed) and how well behaved he was. I used every opportunity to tell everyone what a wonderful breeder he came from. He was quite the charmer and made a quite a few new friends. I have attached some pictures of the beach. He LOVED the sand although you can see in the last picture (my very favorite picture from the weekend) that he was worn out by the end of the morning.
I hope everything is going well!

Hey Camie,
Here it is with another big thank you for breeding Sue and Jake to make our precious girl. Camie, Gigi has become such a huge part of our family… she’s our baby and hangs out with us all the time. She follows me everywhere like a little shadow and she is such a good girl and always so happy. It’s hard to imagine before we had her. I can’t even find the words to tell you how much we love her. Her vet visit recently was wonderful; the vet was very impressed with how beautiful she is and what good health she has ~ always makes my heart sing to know she is healthy!! She loves everyone and is so gentle and sweet!! We are considering training her to be a therapy dog; she’s such a love! Thanks again for all you do! Enjoy the photo!!
Blessings,
Denise
