CORA X GULLY
We are expecting 7 puppies. Approximate go-home date is Thanksgiving 2024. This is Cora's 1st breeding and our first breeding with Gully from Emerson Retrievers. We are excited and anticipating an exceptional litter!
GCH CH Emerson's Swift Traveler (Gulliver)
Appalachian Dog Training has been working with Emerson Retrievers for over 5 years. We are incredibly grateful for their mentorship, support, and sharing of their passion.
While presenting as a beautiful mover and easy on the eyes, Gulliver truly shines with his temperament. He carries a correct double coat, that requires minimal upkeep. He stands at 23.5” and weighs 80 pounds. Gully is clear on all genetic panels, advanced cardiac, elbows, and has “good” hip scores from OFA. He is current on his eye exams as well.
Gully easily finished both his CH and GCH with selective showing over a few months. He has quickly garnered multiple breed wins and group placements. He has also remained in the top 20, breed and all-breed, even with months off.
He has a gorgeous headpiece with the most friendly and inviting expression. A goofy and loving boy at home; he is extremely biddable, eager to please, and quick to learn when it comes to training. Gully is confident and athletic, with a love for the water and birds. Just as easily as he runs in the field, he is happy to snuggle up on the couch and is innately gentle with young children. We are looking forward to some hunt tests and obedience trials in his future!
His first (homebred) sired litters are showing a lot of promise and success in both the conformation ring and other performance venues. He is consistently passing on his headpiece, solid topline, effortless movement, and substance to his offspring; along with his easy to live with temperament.

4. Meet your Puppy
We do not ship puppies and we require that you travel to us to meet & approve of your puppy.
You do not "pick your puppy" by meeting the entire litter in a large group. The traditional style of seeing which puppy comes to you first overlooks key temperament traits you need to know. We evaluate the puppies and make best matches of available puppies.
If more than 1 puppy has been selected as your best match, you meet each of your best match puppies and then choose which puppy you are closest and most drawn to. With this method, you have confidence knowing about your puppy's temperament and energy level and have met your puppy to ensure you have a natural connection and closeness with them.
Puppies can fit in an airline approved carrier and travel under your seat as a pet up to about 9 weeks age. After 9 weeks age they are too large to fit in the carrier and must be transported via car travel.

SOLD- Bennett
Bennett was born & raised here with us and has completed his Puppy Head Start and On Leash training. Bennett is a 6 mo old male puppy, parents are Jada & Cayman.
He is a calm and mild-tempered puppy, and hence, has been easy to house train and socialize. He is not hyper and almost never wildly energetic with the zoomies, although he loves to play with you and retrieve.
Maintaining such a mild & calm temperament makes Bennett an ideal match for a retired family or young family that needs quiet and peace in their home. He also does well with other dogs and is calm with them.
Bennett is trained for professional grooming and stands still in the tub, allows you to blow dry him & his head, trim & dremel nails, and trim up his paws. Amazing at just 6 months age!!
He has been out with us to pet friendly stores, breweries, parks, hiking trails, and more. He would make a lovely Therapy Dog for visiting others or an at home loving companion for someone with special needs.
The greatest challenge we have had with Bennett is his tail & the car. Jada gave birth to him with a kink in his tail, so it naturally bends downward. A squiggle tail has absolutely no effect on little Bennett; he holds his tail up and wags it lovingly when you greet him! Car rides are not his favorite, and we have been adding extra car rides to his training agenda. He will drool and can get carsick on longer rides, and we are hopeful that he will continue to improve as he matures. He is not fearful of the car, but his mom, Jada, also got carsick as a puppy. Taking frequent, short rides and giving him a chew bone helps him.
We support our dog’s completed training for life and can assist you with advanced training including Off Leash, Therapy Dog, and Caine Good Citizen.
Bennett is a very healthy, even tempered small male golden retriever accepting applications for his perfect family to call his own. He is UTD on all puppy & adult vaccines & veterinary care. Jada & Cayman have OFA Hips, Elbows, Heart, Eye & genetic testing.
Application approval requires travel to our location for a meet & greet with Bennett.
Puppy fee, $6,500
