Purpose:

We raise Golden Retrievers to title our dogs. We learn and work towards excellence in our Goldens every day. Our dogs are of AKC, and GRCA standards and our European pedigreed dogs are examples of the FCI standard as well. Each pairing we make has a purpose to achieve a goal for our program. The puppies we don’t kept for ourselves are offered to families wanting a healthy, stunning Golden Retriever companion. We plan our litters out a year in advance, and love the friends that become a part of our family along the way. Raising these amazing Goldens is a gift in itself, and our hearts are touched equally by our puppy owners making this opportunity of working with the breed and fancy all the more fun. We have a reservation list for each planned litter we are hoping for.

​

Training:

Puppies are family raised and socialized with other family dogs once age appropriate. Your puppy will have early neurological stimulation, puppy culture imprinting, and we work to build their confidence through activity gyms and noise desensitization. Puppies are kept in clean indoor puppy area to accelerate house breaking, and allowed to play in our yard as well. Their training begins through modeling their mother and basic manners learned through positive reinforcement from constant loving interactions from people. Your puppy will be litter box trained and doggie door trained. We also do group crate training with the littermates and socialization with other dogs and a cat. Your puppy may join you once he or she is 8 weeks old or older. 

 

Guarantees:

3-year warranty covering hereditary health to insure your puppy will be able to be a healthy pet and we are here for lifetime support for your puppy. We take special care through our health clearances to prevent any hereditary defects. 

 

Policies:

DO NOT SHIP PUPPIES. You can fly into Little Rock (LIT) airport and carry your puppy back on the plane with you. We can help prepare you and puppy for the trip this way. I will even provide your carry on bag for your puppy. This demonstrates your commitment to your puppy from the beginning. Of course if you are within driving distance that is the most common way to come to our home. Also if you should need to rehome your puppy at any time during it's life, we reserve the first right of refusal and WILL want to take your puppy back.
