We are serious hobby breeders, which means that we show our dogs in at least one venue (we show them in several: conformation, obedience and use them as Therapy Dogs and Assistance Dogs, and occasionally they get to go hunting). WE ARE NOT A BACKYARD BREEDER, NOR ARE WE A PUPPYMILL. We raise, train and show Golden Retrievers & English Springer Spaniels. We breed a litter to have something to show in the ring, or to train for a purpose (therapy dogs, service dogs, obedience...).
We are members in good standing with the Golden and Springer Parent Clubs- the Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA) and the English Springer Spaniel Field Trial Association (ESSFTA). Also the American Kennel Club (AKC), the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the International All Breed Canine Association (IABCA).All dogs used in our breeding program have had their clearances done, which include hips certified through OFA, their eyes cleared-annually by a board certified ophthalmologist and their hearts cleared and listed with OFA. We also check elbows and cardiac (heart). Our goal is to produce puppies that are healthy and structurally correct that possess wonderful temperaments. We personally look to place our puppies into homes where they are going to be in the house and part of the family. Whether they are being placed as show dogs or as a family companion our goal is to breed the temperament and character that best suits a family life style: gentle, friendly and easy going. However, we also want our dogs to be versatile, whether in conformation, obedience or agility rings and they should excel at Therapy work or as Service/Assistance dogs.
