Training for your New Puppy!!

​
Golden Retriever Puppies will be available through our highly specialized breeding program. Our breeding dogs each have genetic testing, OFA hip, elbow and heart certifications, show titles, and many have successfully completed our Service Dog Training Program or our Therapy Dog Training Program. We also hand select Golden Retriever puppies from excellent breeders for our Program, to be made available as pets or Therapy Dogs.

Check out our guide on Picking the Perfect Puppy for “inside” information on what to look for and what to look out for. While most breeders have a website, you do not want to blindly purchase a puppy from a website as it may be a cover for a “puppy mill”.
