About Heather's Litter
Isn’t Heather beautiful? She is a calm, sweet, and very lovey dovey golden retriever. She enjoys going for long hikes and getting a run in whenever she can. Her coat is a strong golden color that shines in the fall sun.
Chester is also an amazing golden retriever. His personality is cheerful and playful both indoors and outdoors. Chester can also relax well on those rainy days and being a couch potato or lap dog. His fur is a striking red and it’s silky nature makes it less prone to burrs when he is playing in the tall grass.
Both Heather and Chester are average for their large dog breed, weighing in around 58-60 pounds each.

Quick Facts About Our Golden Litters
We are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your puppy as a valued member of your family, and we are available to address any inquiries both before and after your purchase. We prioritize raising healthy and well-balanced puppies who will grow into exceptional family companions. It is our policy that both parents of our litters have received Genetic Health Clearances, and you can visit the Dogs page to view their individual testing information.
What Training Do We Provide Our Puppies?
We introduce all puppies to crates and potty training. This helps when they move to their forever homes to take the habits and familiarity with them.
How Do You Prepare Puppies for the World?
We integrate Puppy Culture, ENS, and ESI protocols into our family environment to ensure that the puppies are well-socialized and prepared for the world.
Do You Take the Puppies to the Vet?
Yes, all puppies have been thoroughly examined by a veterinarian, had their first vaccinations, and been dewormed before going home with their new families. We also microchip the puppies for identification.
Is There a Health Guarantee With My Puppy?
We kindly offer a 6 month-2 year health guarantee with the option for puppy replacement. You are also provided with the health records of your puppy when you take them home.
Training the puppies for the world around them using Puppy Culture Protocol
Bright intelligent eyes and a happy tail wagging! Golden personality is the absolute best!
My pups are raised in a family setting with all the house noises, plenty of gentle attention, and protected socialization. I am using the PUPPY CULTURE protocol which includes Bio Sensory training, Early Scent Introduction, potty and crate training. Dew claws are removed. They will then receive a vet approval at 6-7 weeks. Along with being regularly wormed and having their 1st vaccinations. After that, they are be ready to go to your home to become part of your loving family @ 8 weeks old.
Bio Sensory Training (ENS)
- Strengthens cardiovascular performance (heart rate)
- Increases strength of heartbeats
- Improves adrenal gland function
- Enchances stress tolerance
- Boosts resilience against disease
Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
- Enhancing the Abilities of Companion, Therapy, and Service Dogs
- Early scent training is essential for Police drug/bomb sniffing dogs and Hunt/Field Trial Dogs
- Resulting in more attentive and trainable family pets.
- Including their eagerness to play, as it also awakenes their curosity.
