Our Breeding Program: Our Pet puppies are sold on a reservation basis to APPROVED homes only. They must live indoors as a full time companion animal. A personal interview in our home is required before a reservation will be accepted. We typically plan 2 -3 litters per year using only board certified clear parents. We screen for Hips/Elbows, Eyes, (annual) & Heart. Each breeding prospect must be a quality representative of the breed and possess true golden temperament. Our girls are either finished Champions or on their way to achieving their title prior to having a litter.

We DO NOT support the breeding of "designer" breeds nor sell show/breeding prospects unless we feel that new owners are as committed to the improvement/preservation of the Golden Retriever as we strive to be. All show prospects are sold on Non-Breed contracts and must obtain certified clearances as well as a Championship or performance title.

The First Weeks: Puppies are raised in our home from birth to departure (@8 wks) and are very well socialized to kids, cats, everyday noises, and various surfaces. (grass, carpet, tile) We incorporate potty training @ 3 wks --puppies have a litter box in their pen. Outdoor potty trips begin @ 5 wks (weather permitting) We feel this aids in housebreaking once you bring your new family member home. A bit more work for us but a definite bonus for you!

Going Home: Puppies join their new families 7- 8 weekends following the litter birth. Each puppy will have been dewormed (3x) & tattooed for identification. ONE puppy vaccination between 7 & 7.5 wks of age is administered as well as puppies have received a thorough examination by our veterinarian, complete with a certificate of health. Puppies are sold on CKC Non-Breed Agreements, as well as our own Sales Agreement with a Spay/Neuter clause . We offer a written 3 yr warranty on our puppies covering health and temperament.

NOTE: We follow a minimal vaccine regimen with our Dogs and Puppies
(research and recommendations provided.)

Our puppies are sent home with 6 wks Pet Insurance.
We encourage new families to continue this policy coverage due to rising veterinary costs

A Little Extra: We provide a Puppy Packet with indepth information & weblinks on all aspects of puppy development. A puppy Open House is hosted at 5 wks for new families to meet, and get together for some puppy play. Daily photos of mom & babes from birth to departure are posted on our website for new families to enjoy.

We are always available for puppy-tech support for the lifetime of your Arcane Golden. Our Dogs & Puppies are very special to us, so your call, email, letter or photo is very welcome, be it good news or puppy growing pains ;o)
