How to get your own Pup from Goldenridge
Our Mission - Since we are a small Breeder, our Golden's our kept
as house pets and share our living space. We think of them as our
children.
Our goal at Goldenridge Kennel is to selectively breed for the
temperament and character that best suits our lifestyle; friendly,
gentle, easy-going and above all honest. Our dog live in our home
and are a considered our family members and best friends.
From the foundation established in our small and selective breeding
program, our goal remains constant toward producing a healthy,
sound, structurally-correct puppy with exceptionally loving and
loyal temperament - that we feel is above and beyond the Golden
Retriever Breed Standard. We take pride in our continued success
with our Golden's in the areas of obedience and agility
trials, therapy dogs, search and research , hunting dogs in the
field -- and, most importantly, as loving family companions. We
have many veterinary references and have sold our puppies to
veterinaries.
All puppies are Sold ''limited registration'' and spay or neuter
contract.
Our dogs have clearances such OFA--hip/elbow, CERF and Cardiac.
Most importantly some of our dogs are ''CHIC'' Certified. All of our
stud dogs are DNA'd, this ensuring NO Interbreeding.
Estimated heat cycles of a female dog is between 6-8 months after
their last heat cycle and this is considered a ''NORMAL HEAT
CYCLE''. Therefore, please be patient as every dams heat cycle can
vary.
All the puppies will be sold with AKC limited
registration papers and a spay and or neuter contract. Each puppy will have a first distemper shot, general wormer
and physical by the veterinary. We will also worm the puppies at 5 weeks of age.
You
will received documentation from our veterinary of the pups
first visit. To hold a puppy for purchase a non-refundable
deposit is required.
If
a situation comes up (for you or us or our female dog, for an
example a false pregnancy or dog didn’t cover - some dogs which get
bred don‘t always cover) then your deposit will not be refunded but
will be applied to the next upcoming litter or another litter of
your liking within one year of your original deposit. Estimated heat cycles of a female (meaning if the female
comes into heat 6 months from her last cycle) can come anywhere
between 4-9 months after their last cycle and this is considered a
“normal heat cycle” - a cover doesn’t always guarantee a
breeding/pregnancy.
