We anticipate 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 Taxi's ancestors have become physical service dogs. Pups will likely appear to be medium to darker golden/red.
Taxi's coat is wavy as she carries both the straight and wavy genetics. She weighs about 52 lbs. She has beautiful, darker pigmentation and happens to carry the intense red gene.
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.
