GENERAL INFO

 If you are seriously interested in a golden retriever puppy, it is recommended you place your name on a wait list of a breeder.

All of our puppies are raised in our home. We prefer no visitors during the first 4 weeks to allow the mom to become adjusted to her new family.

At week 5 we introduce them to the outdoors to enable them to explore. They have plenty of activities to challenge them which give them confidence. We encourage people to visit during the 4-to-8-week period.  We raise our puppies with the puppy culture method, which is a structured socialization and training program designed to optimize a puppy’s physical, mental and behavioral development during the critical first 12 weeks of life.  We also perform the Volhard temperament test when your puppy is 49 days old.  It is a 10 part puppy aptitude assessment that will evaluate traits like social attraction, confidence, sensitivity, dominance and stability using a standardized 1-6 scoring system.  This system helps us match puppies to suitable homes by identifying behavioral tendencies.

At week 7 to 8 we will evaluate the litter for determining what is show quality vs. pet quality. Between 7 and 8 weeks we take the puppies to the vet for a health check (heart, stool, eyes, etc.) and they will receive their first shot. At this time we will determine when the “go home” date will be.

LITTER #1 – Dolce Vita’s Izzy Bella Fourever, CGC, TKN has been bred to Boca Gold’s Order of the Phoenix GCHG, CH, JH.  Due date is Oct. 24th with go home just before Christmas.
