I utilize the following enrichment methods: Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Beginning Grooming, Leash Walking, Biosensor Training, Service Dog Training, Crate Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, Potty Training, and Sit Command.
All puppies are vaccinated and have had a physical exam by a licensed vet between 6 and 8 weeks.
We send our puppies home with CKC Registration, Sound and texture enrichment, Early Neurological Stimulation, Volhard Personality Test, Vaccinations, Puppy Starter Kit, Puppy Collar, Microchip, Certificate of Health, Food Starter Bag, Bone, and Blanket with Littermates Scent.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Full Embark Panel, PRA, Golden Retriever 2
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
