GOLDENS UNITE

On April 13th, 2025, we gathered (and counted) 1,267 Golden Retrievers at Star Hill Ranch!

But if you were there, you know there were more! ;)

We shattered our previous record of 744, raised $20,545 for Gold Ribbon Rescue, and had a joyfully chaotic time photographing pups, cheering on racers, and crowning The Real Air Bud of Texas.

We were so close to *officially* breaking the world record of 1,310 Goldens, and we are confident that 2027 will be our year! Sign up for email alerts below to be updated on next year’s event and notified of when tickets go on sale.
