                                          How Puppies Are Placed

Our goldens are bred for temperament, health, intelligence and structure (or looks) IN THAT ORDER.

Purchasers are  NOT allowed to pick out their own puppies.  This is non-negotiable and no exceptions will be made.  Puppies are placed according to the results of the temperament testing.  Puppies are placed according to the needs of the family, with the  primary consideration placed on the youngest child or special needs child.

Perspective owners may visit the puppies as they grow by appointment only.

Deposit and visitation in no way guarantees anyone a specific puppy or even a puppy at all.  The deposit will be will be returned only if there is not a suitable puppy for you and/or your family as is determined by the temperament test.

The very best is done to insure that our puppies get the best start in life.  The mothers and puppies are fed the very best foods and receive the best in veterinary care. 

It is very important for new owners to have the support of their breeder.  With that being said, I am never more than a telephone call away should you need advice or just have a question.
                                                                                                         
I never plan a breeding unless I intend to keep a puppy for myself.  All of our puppies are raised  on the main floor of our home.  Puppies are born in my hands.  Neurological stimulation begins at 3 days and continues through day 16.  De-worming starts at 2 weeks of age and the puppies then receive the same treatment very two weeks until they go home.   Puppies are socialized starting at 3 weeks of age in a highly controlled setting. Weaning begins at 4 weeks of age. At 6 weeks of age, they are given a Parvo virus Vaccination.  Temperament testing is performed at 49 days of age (results provided).  At 8 weeks of age they are given a DHLPP Vaccination and then taken to their veterinarian.  Puppies are fed a premium dog food starting at 5 or 6 weeks of age.  Puppies nails are trimmed every week.
