Puppy Profile
Owning
a dog will drastically alter your life for ten years or so and therefore the
first decision you have to make is whether you should own a dog in the first
place. Remember, care and attention is necessary 365 days a year - including
Bank Holidays. The next important matter to consider is your choice of dog.
You may well admire the beautiful appearance of a Golden Retriever, but is the
breed suited to your lifestyle? Such matters such as coat, size and breed characteristics
must be taken into account.
Litter planned for 2026
The questions you must ask yourself at the outset, because we certainly will want to know, are:
- Does the house and garden that I live in lend itself to a relatively large dog?
- Will the dog be left alone in the house for long periods, while I am out at work?
- Am I active and fit enough to give a Golden Retriever the correct amount of exercise?
- Do I have the time and patience to spend grooming a long-coated breed?
- Can I afford to buy the necessary food to feed a large dog?
- Will I be willing to take the puppy to training classes?
Permanent loving homes are our first consideration. Our puppies are born and reared in the home, they have access to fresh air daily from 4 weeks of age, either in our day run or in the garden under supervision. We allow them to explore our home (within limits) and are all paper and garden trained. They are nearly house trained before they leave us for their new homes. The puppies are handled, they play and mix with our adult dogs and are exposed to all the normal sounds around the house. Therefore they are likely to settle easily into their new homes.
We like to meet prospective families before a litter is due. Prospective owners are always welcome to view the puppies prior to the puppy leaving for his/her new home. We are more than happy to answer any of your questions. As we are anxious the puppies have a long and happy life we are careful that they go to carefully vetted and suitable homes.
