"Primarily a hunting dog"
​
​
As Golden Retriever Club of America members, we take our breedings very seriously. We breed AKC registered golden retrievers whom we strive to produce as healthy and loving companions. We aim to produce hunting dogs that are versatile, competitive, and love their families! With every breeding, our goal is to produce sound, healthy, and driven dogs. In our effort to produce the healthiest hunting golden retriever puppies possible, every dog in our program is tested for a minimum of hips, elbows, eyes, heart, and inheritable diseases. When we consider a breeding, we don't just take into account the health of the sire and dam. We look at generations of hip results, lifespan of siblings, the inbreeding coefficient, and prior offspring. Each stud is selected carefully, after months (if not years) of thought and comparison. Our overall aim is to provide driven and field-worthy golden retrievers that maintain type and are true to standard. Our field golden retriever puppies are all born in our home, raised with a mixture of AviDog and Puppy Culture practices, and monitored 24-7. Our detailed application and phone screening process allows us to understand what each family is looking for in a puppy. At 7-8 weeks, we evaluate the litter and notify new families of their matches after testing temperament and drive.
