Golden Hearts in Great Falls

By Elle Parker

There’s a special kind of joy that comes from wagging tails and golden fur—and for over 40 years, Sandy Selander has been sharing that joy with families across the region.

Right here in Great Falls, Virginia, Sandy is the devoted breeder behind Online Goldens, where champion Golden Retrievers are raised with love, care, and an unwavering commitment to the breed’s gentle spirit.


A Legacy of Love Since 1980

Founded in 1980, Online Goldens is more than a kennel—it’s a haven. Nestled on five acres of lush Great Falls land, the dogs enjoy indoor and outdoor runs, enclosed grass play areas, and even their very own swimming pool for exercise and fun.

Each Golden is treated like family and bred in accordance with the American Kennel Club (AKC) standards for health, temperament, and beauty.

Over the years, Sandy’s Goldens have earned obedience and performance titles, in addition to American, Canadian, and Australian championships.

Yet their greatest reward lies in their temperament—the loyal, loving nature that makes Golden Retrievers such cherished companions.

With a new litter on the way (Candy’s X-ray is scheduled for November 6), excitement is in the air. In fact, most puppies are typically spoken for within just two weeks!

If you’ve ever dreamed of welcoming a Golden Retriever puppy into your home, now may be the perfect time to connect with this longtime Great Falls breeder who has turned a lifelong passion into a legacy of love.
