We anticipate very birdy, driven pups in this litter. Pups should have the potential to be capable of hunting, hunt tests, conformation, agility, retrieving, scent work, or even service or therapy work as some of Bella's pups (Blossom's dam) have become physical service dogs. Pups will likely appear to be medium to darker golden/red.
Blossom's coat is straight and she weighs about 62 lbs. Preacher has a thicker coat, mostly straight and weighs in the mid-60s. Anticipating nice conformation, great temperaments and pleasing heads while remaining true to breed size.
Both Blossom and Preacher have generations of hip, elbow, eye and heart testing.
Please note that we don't have a preference when it comes to breeding color, nor for breeding the "rare, white, English Cream golden retriever". Our focus is for other qualities, such as health, temperament and trainability. Review the Golden Retriever Club of America link for a note on golden retriever coloring and why that shouldn't be a primary focus for top breeders.
We encourage families to place their deposit early on this litter. Pricing information and puppy applications are now available.
