Socialization & Personality

The puppies are handled on a daily basis by a combination of children and adults to help them relate well to a variety of people as they grow up.
“Early Neurological Stimulation” is performed on the puppies from day 3 to 16 to enhance their trainability and resistance to stress. Read about it at AKC on ENS.
The puppies are introduced to a variety of city and country sounds, environments, surfaces, temperatures, & animals as they grow up, to help prepare them for the real world at your home! 
The Volhard Aptitude Test is performed on the puppies in order to get a glimpse into their future personality for helping to get you matched with the right puppy for you. AKC on PAT

Genetic Health Testing

All of our dogs get all four OFA Tests recommended for Golden Retrievers: Heart, Eye, Hips, and Elbows. In addition to that they also get comprehensive Genetic DNA testing in order to see if they are carrying anything inside.  Your puppy parents are carefully matched to ensure the best chance for a happy, healthy puppy for years to come!

Veterinary Care

Each Puppy comes with a Veterinarian Certificate of Inspection, and their first rounds of Vaccinations and Dewormer. You’ll get an organized list of the details about what products they were given and when they are next due, to show to your vet so that they can take it from there.

House Training

Our puppies get an introduction to crate training. They are also used to going outside through the doggy door to do their business.  They are usually easy to house train after moving to their new homes.

Puppy Selection

Puppy selection happens once the puppies are about 6-7 weeks old. By then their color and personalities have become more distinct for making better long-term choices! Order of deposits coming in has it’s influence in your order of choosing, but we do let Breeders and Service Dogs get first choices of the litter in order to further the breed and help special needs in the best way possible. Sometimes one litter has fewer puppies than expected and long-time waiting parties will jump to the next litter. You can estimate your choosing position based on availability when you reserve a puppy, but we cannot guarantee a specific place in the choosing line due to the variables mentioned. We can help choose a puppy for you based on what you are planning to use the dog for, what your family setting is, and and what your color preferences are, etc. If we feel that there are no puppies available that match what you are looking for, we will communicate that with you and discuss options from other litters or a full refund.

We’ll contact you ahead of the +-6 week timeframe for appointments to come see the puppies around the time that selections are being made. We try to work with people’s schedules in order to arrange the visits in order of puppy choosing.
