About
Allday Golden Retrievers - Located on the Alabama River, Selma. My Sunny (Above) RIP my friend (14 Years Old)
Allday Golden Retrievers is centrally located on the Alabama River in Selma. Clients drive mainly from Alabama and all surrounding states - Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. Over the last 30 years, we have also adopted out pups to families in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida (as far south as Miami), Hawaii, England and many other places. Just type "Selma, Alabama" into your GPS to get an idea how far we are from you.
I am an Alabama licensed homebuilder, part-time herbalist and lover of Golden Retrievers. For the last seven years, I have also been a caregiver for my 97 year old mother who broke her hip twice around 2018. I work hard to provide quality and good pedigreed American Golden Retriever puppies at affordable prices. I have been raising goldens for around 30 years. I greatly enjoy meeting new people - especially Golden Retriever type of people. Both of my children, who are adults now, were raised on Goldens since they were babies and many a litter were socialized under their care and affection back in those days. Even in adulthood, one or both occasionally come out for puppy pick up weekend.
Who we are
Although, I frequent two houses, you will meet me and your new puppy at my river house on the Alabama River in Selma, Alabama. This is approximately five miles upstream from where my Great Great Great Grandfather Richard Allday owned 84 acres on the Alabama River around 200 years ago.
Below will give you a general idea for the location of Selma, Alabama.

A bit of history
The story on when and why I started breeding Golden Retrievers is a good one. Over 25 years ago our longtime companion and friend Dutchess (a Cocker Spaniel) passed away. My son Christian was just two years old & my daughter Autumn had only recently been born. I immediately looked into the Golden Retriever breed, researched it, and began the search for my first golden. I had some Labrador Retrievers as a young boy, but never a Golden and wanted to experience one because they reportedly were great family dogs. I looked all over for that "perfect" boy. In my search, I found Mickey and afterward, he changed our whole life and was by far, the greatest dog ever! He was so incredibly smart and such a gentleman. Mickey was the type of dog that played hard when asked yet when little children came around, he would almost "tip-toe" around them to insure he didn't accidentally knock them over. Little kids doing what kids do, would pull on his hair or pinch him, but you never had a single worry that Mickey would bite or nip anyone. He treated every puppy that came along with such tenderness that to anyone not knowing, they would have thought he was the puppy's mother. Mickey was too great a dog to not share with others. In my mind, there was no better dog for a family with children than a Golden. It wasn't long before I decided that we would find Mickey a girlfriend or two, and we began to search for that perfect mate.
Even after all of these years, puppy pickup weekend is one of my favorite times of the year for many reasons. The best reason is that with every golden retriever puppy that leaves here, I know he or she will give years of happiness to some family and vice versa and that makes me feel good. I have seen so many smiles and happy families throughout the years and in the process made many lifelong friends.
