FLODEN FARM GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES

We have golden retriever puppy litters planned and/or already whelped for 2023 and 2024, some from outside breeders utilizing our male studs.

Generally we produce just a couple litters a year through our own females and they are listed on this page below. Above are all of the litters anticipated, including outside dams using our sire. Be sure to bookmark our site to stay updated.

FLODEN FARM GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES



TAXI PuppIES
possible in 2024



FLODEN'S TAX EVASION "Taxi"


Taxi's first litter is planned for 2023. We have not yet determined which stud to use as health clearances on Taxi are yet pending.


Pricing includes vet checks, first vaccinations, individual AKC registration, four-year health warranty, preventative deworming, temperament testing prior to puppy selection, as well as microchipping.​


While we have removed dewclaws in the past, we do not currently remove dews -- unless a pup's dewclaw was to appear floppy. Newer research and the opinion of some of our best veterinarians recommend avoiding dewclaw removal because of the development of arthritis of the carpal joints in dogs who have had dews removed. Dews serve an important purpose - please see this article for more information.

To be considered for a pup from Taxi's litter, please complete the questionnaire at the bottom of our Puppy Pricing Page or call 1-218-770-7071.



Sire To Be Determined


We plan to pair Taxi with a field golden male. Still weighing our options at this time and awaiting assessment of previous litters.​

Taxi is a gorgeous girl with a longer coat type, as well as the "intense red" intensity loci for coat coloring. Her genetics testing shows she is likely to have little to no white in her coat (which is the case). While she has a longer coat, she has the genetics for only light to moderate shedding.


Although her genetics test show intermediate to larger body size combined with an allele associated with smaller body size, she is just 52 pounds at nearly two years of age and is well-proportioned. If paired with a larger male, it is possible for those genetics to produce medium to larger pups. Body size can be difficult to determine due to the number of different genetics that play a factor. Her adult weight is predicted at 57 pounds.


Taxi's mother, Pizza, is a family dog with wonderful temperament. Pizza's lineage includes dogs with agility jump titles. Her father and sire we own, Bison, has hunt test and field titles over his generations - Floden's Pride of the Prairie SH JH TKN CGC. Taxi's heritage goes back to our foundation sire, T-Rex, from three generations ago. T-Rex performed between about a SH to MH level, and was a wonderful dog with children and all animals. He would often bring me a live, baby chick in his very soft mouth. That soft mouth has carried on through the years to Scout, Bison and Taxi. We liked the lower coeffient of inbreeding her litter offered.


Taxi also hunts upland game, particularly pheasant. She is a good tempered golden in the home, loves people - kids in particular. She has a very soft mouth. Her marking ability is very good and her nose is an asset to hunting up pheasant. We plan to continue hunting her in pheasant and working with her in obedience.

No pups will be at risk of any of the known genetic disorders we can test for at this time, which include PRA-prcd, PRA1, DM, SAN, DEB, MD, OI, NCL, and Ichthyosis.


This breeding offers a coefficient of inbreeding of x%. If you are a conscientious occasional breeder like ourselves and looking for certain genetics in a pup, please let us know!


Top 5 ancestors contributing to COI, in order of influence:

- TO BE DETERMINED


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.

IntBA NatBA HnrBA Ch FLODEN'S SHORT SKIRT LONG JACKET SH "BLOSSOM"


Blossom's next litter is planned for Summer 2023. We have selected HRCH Topbrass Semper Running Blind ** MH "Reacher" for her mate.


Pricing includes vet checks, first vaccinations, individual AKC registration, four-year health warranty, preventative deworming, temperament testing prior to puppy selection, as well as microchipping.​


While we have removed dewclaws in the past, we do not currently remove dews -- unless a pup's dewclaw was to appear floppy.

HRCH TOPBRASS SEMPER RUNNING BLIND ** MH


We've paired Blossom with Reacher, a field golden male. Reacher weighs 65 pounds and ia handsome, dark golden retriever male.


Reacher has his UKC Hunting Retriever Champion Title and his AKC Master Hunter TItle. Reacher passed the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Master Nationals.


He is an honest, dependable dog to train and run. His master pass rate speaks for itself. He has a "want to work and please" personality that speaks volumes around the kennel. He will continue to earn master hunter passes and pursue qualifyings.

​Blossom has a shorter golden field coat with light feathering, some curls, and a little fluff in the tail. She achieved her National-International-Honors Baby Championship in IABCA conformation early March 2020 at less than 4 months of age. Blossom achieved her junior hunter title and then quickly went onto her senior title with a 100% pass rate.


Blossom's mother, Bella, was our foundation dam and an Outstanding Dam, titled through the GRCA. Bella participated in 4-H rally, agility, obedience and showmanship with our children, having qualified for state.


Blossom's sire, Lorfield's I Get Around MH40 MNH4 CCA WCX HTHF is a master hunter, participated in the master nationals, passed the 2019 master amateur invitational, and in the Hunt Test Hall of Fame.


Blossom also hunts upland game, particularly pheasant. Although she is a very energetic retriever, she is a good tempered golden in the home, lover of all people and animals, and possesses excellent drive in the field. She has a soft mouth, and will energetically throw her own stick to fetch if you aren't playing with her outside. She has very good marking ability and an incredible nose. I often throw a dummy in the opposite direction of where she is looking and she picks it up immediately.
