Our Program

---

 All of our Golden Retrievers are beloved members of our family and live right in our home. They have the classic, gentle Golden temperament and have completed thorough health screenings — hips, elbows, eyes, heart, and full genetic DNA testing — so we can make informed breeding decisions.  Our goal is to produce healthy, structurally sound puppies. We believe nutrition and environment are just as important as genetics, which is why we give every puppy the best possible start in life. 

 We take a natural approach to raising our puppies — feeding a complete, balanced, species-appropriate diet, supporting their immune systems with natural supplements, and providing a safe, nurturing, toxin-free environment. We also follow a limited vaccine schedule to protect their health while avoiding unnecessary stress on their developing immune systems. 

We feel truly privileged to be part of every birthing experience. Our goal is to nurture each puppy into a happy, confident, and well-rounded companion.  Our litters are born right in our bedroom, where they remain for the first three weeks of life. This private, stress-free environment allows our mothers to focus on their newborns without distraction. We are by their side from the onset of labor, and our moms and babies are never left alone. At three weeks old, the family moves into our spacious 500-square-foot living room, where they stay until they’re ready to join their forever homes at eight weeks.  To give our puppies the very best start, we incorporate both Puppy Culture and Avidog—two proven, science-based programs for raising well-adjusted puppies. Beginning as early as day three, we introduce Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to help develop strong nervous systems, improve emotional resilience, and strengthen scent recognition. From there, we guide them through carefully planned socialization, problem prevention, basic training, and enrichment activities.

We know that what a puppy experiences in these first weeks shapes the rest of their life. By creating positive associations with everyday sights, sounds, and situations, we lay the foundation for a lifetime of confidence and adaptability. For us, it’s more than raising puppies—it’s shaping future family members.

Our mothers are always allowed to be with their babies up until the day they leave for their forever homes. 

Raising puppies is a full-time commitment. Our puppies are never left alone and they are attended to 24/7.   

The health and safety of our puppies is our top priority. For this reason, we do not allow visitors during the first five weeks of a litter’s life. Young puppies are especially vulnerable, and we take every precaution to protect them from illness.

When it is time for visits, we kindly ask you to follow a few simple guidelines:

• No pets may be brought with you.
   
• If you’ve been around sick animals on the day of your visit, please reschedule.
   
• We may provide shoe covers or ask that you remove your shoes.
   
• Puppies must be held while seated—this prevents accidental falls or injuries.
   

These measures help ensure your puppy grows strong, healthy, and ready for their forever home. We appreciate your understanding and see this extra care as one of the qualities that sets our program apart.

Note:  We reserve the right at any time to restrict visitors due to Covid-19.  While we always love and encourage our puppy families to visit our home, it is possible for an infected person to transmit it from their mouth to the puppy’s fur or face, and then you could pick it up from touching that puppy.
