ABOUT US
Hi, Iām Ann Bonsell.
I'm the breeder behind White River Retrievers located in Wyoming. We responsibly breed, raise, and socialize healthy pups so others can enjoy the gift of living life with a Golden Retriever. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
