MEET US

Hello From The Orths!

It is a pleasure to introduce ourselves to you. We are a family breeder with a huge love for English Cream Goldens located just outside of Spokane, Washington. We have been breeding English Creams for just over 16 years, and we truly count it an honor and a privilege to help homes find their next beloved companion!

OUR DOGS

Growing up with dogs always in the home, we were first introduced to Golden Retrievers long ago.  However, as Heather likes to put it, when we learned about English Creams it was "love at first sight!"

If you are new to English Cream Golden Retrievers, let us tell you a little about them. These dogs are fun-loving, smart, gentle, playful, yet calm—the perfect family dogs. They are very similar in most ways to American Golden Retrievers, but they tend to have blockier heads, calmer temperaments, and creamy, near-white coats. Studies have also shown that they may be less susceptible to common health risks such as cancer and hip dysplasia. We believe you will fall in love with our Sweet Cream Goldens for their loyalty, affection, beauty, and intelligence.

It is rooted in our love for these perfect pets that we have chosen to raise them and allow families like ours the joy of experiencing the sweet companionship they have to offer.

From Spokane to Seattle to Portland to Boise to Bellevue to Denver to Anchorage to Phoenix to Fresno to Reno to Boston to British Columbia to San Francisco to Los Angeles, to Ft. Lauderdale and lots of cities in between, it's exciting to watch the Sweet Cream Family spread out to wonderful homes! Thanks again for visiting our website and we hope to talk with you soon. 

Our Family

Bart serves as a lead pastor in our city, and we are all actively involved in many aspects of community life. Heather enjoys being able to stay home to raise our kids and puppies! We have four sons—Manny, Ben, Abreham, and Canyon—and a daughter, Galilee. We love sharing life together, building memories, chasing dreams, and contributing to others in meaningful ways. We live on almost two acres with plenty of room for our family and puppies to play. We hope you'll come visit us someday!

Whelping Families

Since we began breeding Goldens, our aim has always been to raise puppies in ideal environments where they receive plenty of love, attention, and healthy stimulation. As part of the Sweet Cream team, we have a few wonderful families who serve as whelping homes. They are trained and experienced in raising puppies, and we work closely with them during the first seven weeks while the puppies are in their care, before the puppies transition back to our home. Thank you to our whelping families for the wonderful care you provide to our Sweet Cream Goldens' mothers and puppies!

Our Breeding Philosophy

We've always believed that a puppy's first eight weeks shape the rest of their life. That's why every litter is raised in a home, surrounded by people, noise, and love, rather than in a kennel setting. We invest in health testing not because it's required, but because we want every Sweet Cream puppy to have the best possible start, and we want every family to feel confident in their decision for years to come.

A Note from Sweet Cream Goldens

People often ask what surprised me most about breeding English Cream Goldens. Honestly, it's the relationships. We've become part of so many families' stories, birthdays, holidays, even weddings where a Sweet Cream pup was part of the celebration. Watching puppies grow up into beloved family members, sometimes for 12-14 years, is the most rewarding part of what we do.

Community & Involvement

Beyond our dogs, our family is rooted in our local community here in Nine Mile Falls and Spokane. We try to bring the same values we hold at home—honesty, consistency, and genuine care—into everything we do, including how we run our breeding program.
