How I raise our puppies:
I utilize a very unique combination protocol for early socialization, counterconditioning, and desensitization. We desensitize the puppies to all kinds of sights, sounds, smells and also utilize a technique called the “startle recover response”, which ensures puppies are accustomed to encountering and quickly recovering from different things that may frighten a dog later in life.
Another thing that stands out about my program is that, at most, I will only have two litters at a time. This allows me to fully devote all my time and attention to ensure each individual puppy gets endless amounts of love, daily one on one bonding time, and all of the early socialization required in order to raise healthy, happy, well adjusted puppies!
Potty training begins at 3 weeks of age, crate training is introduced at 4 weeks, and I imprint a default safety recall with all of my litters (including links for 2 videos below that highlight how I raise my puppies & the default safety recall I imprint).
My puppies come with a 2 year health guarantee that covers hips, eyes, elbows, and heart, and a lifetime guarantee that they will never be affected by the following diseases (common to the golden retriever breed):
•Degenerative Myelopathy,
•Golden Retriever Progressive Retinal Atrophy 1, GR-PRA1
•Golden Retriever Progressive Retinal Atrophy 2, GR-PRA2
•Muscular Dystrophy
•Progressive Retinal Atrophy, prod
•Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome, CMS
•Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
•Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 5, NCL 5
•Retina Dysplasia and/or Optic Nerve Hypoplasia
•Ichthyosis,
•Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Brittle Bone Disease
Puppies will receive a wellness check by the vet along with their first set of vaccines, dewormings, and AKC registration paperwork.
