We Specialize in Breeding Golden Retrievers
If you're looking to get a Red Golden Retriever because you want a wonderful family pet, a companion, a dog to participate in fun sporting activities, a therapy animal, or an emotional support animal, then you have found the right place! Our Golden Retrievers live with us in Elizabeth, Colorado. Their human mom is a nurse and a dog therapy handler inspired to heal the hearts of many people. Their human dad grew up breeding and raising dogs inspired to bring joy and happiness to peoples lives. Since we view our dogs and their puppies as a family unit, our goal is to provide them the best possible life because they deserve nothing less than that! We are a small scale breeder and only have a couple of litters per year in order to give our dogs and their puppies the individual care, handling, and love that they very much need.
All of our dogs are AKC registered (American Kennel Club - largest purebred registry in the world), DNA tested, tested for Brucellosis, and followed by our reproductive veterinarian in addition to their routine veterinarian. We also follow testing recommendations (hips, eyes, heart, elbows) by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and incorporate routine preventative care yearly (blood work, fecal tests, teeth cleanings, etc) on all of our dogs. These tests are performed on our dogs to prevent passing hereditary diseases to their offspring and ensure we provide our clients with healthy puppies.
Puppies in our breeding program participate in ESI (Early Scent Introduction) and ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) from a young age (when socialization starts). They are provided with daily handling exercises and curriculum activities to enrich their learning and help desensitize them to the world around them (yes, our puppies go to structured school everyday!). Before puppies are selected in person by their new owners, we evaluate them separately through a puppy aptitude test and provide the results to our clients.

Make Your Life Golden!
|
Dog breeding and dog ownership has been a part of our family for many years. We have had Golden Retrievers as pets since we were children and our family has been breeding dogs for over 20 years in Colorado.
Our dogs also have a HUGE role in our lives outside of breeding. Since they are our companions for life and easily fit into our active lifestyle, they frequently go on outdoor adventures with us. We are avid hikers and nature enthusiasts! That's why we decided to use nature inspired names for all of our dogs. |
