AKC & UKC Registered Puppies

All puppies come with: first round vaccines, microchipped, vet checked 2 times, fecal exam- dewormed if necessary, AKC limited registration, 2 year health guarantee, worked with the Bio Sensor/Super Dog Program, Blood Sugar Scent Discrimination started, potty training and basic obedience started, a toy, some food to get you started, and a lifetime of support.

 

Blood Sugar Scent Discrimination Started: We are prepping the puppies to be able to detect Blood Sugar levels in people with Diabetes and Hypoglycemia. This training starts at around 3 days of age because their sense of smell is so strong. Even if a puppy doesn’t go to a working home this still prepares them to be wonderful, well-rounded dogs.

 

                          

 
Origin:

The Golden Retriever originated in the Scottish Highlands in the late 1800's and was used predominantly for hunting. The breed was developed by Lord Tweedmouth, whose goal was to create a superb retriever suited to the Scottish climate, terrain and available game. He crossed his original "Yellow Retriever" with the Tweed Water Spaniel (now extinct) found on his estate. Later integrations of Irish Setter, Bloodhound, and more Tweed Water Spaniel produced the retriever we know today.

 

Temperament:

Friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. Quarrelsomeness or hostility towards other dogs or people in normal situations, or an unwarranted show of timidity or nervousness, is not in keeping with Golden Retriever character. Such actions should be penalized according to their significance.

Height & Weight

Height: Dogs 23-24 inches Bitches 21 ½ -22 ½ inches

Weight: Dogs 65-75 pounds Bitches 55-65 pounds

 

Exercise:

Golden Retrievers are an active, energetic sporting breed.   Daily walks or free exercise are important to their physical and mental health, as well as socialization with other people and animals.

It is especially important not to force exercise Golden Retriever puppies during their first two years. Bone growth plates are still growing and might be injured during hard exercise. Swims, daily walks on soft surfaces, and casual short hikes on flat ground are great exercise for puppies. Avoid jogging, biking, trotting behind a moving car or steep climbs and descents with Golden Retrievers under the age of two.

 

Grooming:

Golden Retrievers do not require an extraordinary amount of grooming. Weekly coat brushing is recommended, plus trimming hair between pads of the feet and around the ears once a month. This lowers the risks of encountering a matted coat, hot spots, and infected ears. Cutting back toenails monthly will prevent toenails so long that your dog rocks back on it's paws, possibly causing orthopedic problems as it ages.

Life Expectancy:

11-15 years from good breeding
