Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Windcliff Goldens located in Lake City, MN. We are a selective breeding program, including the health testing of parents. We also focus on temperament and the overall well-being of our dogs. We breed to produce happy and healthy puppies that can continue to thrive in their forever homes.

Brianna and Tony’s experience

  • About Brianna and Tony

    I live in SE Minnesota with my husband and 3 kids.

  • What makes Brianna and Tony’s program special

    We want to set our puppies and our families up for success. To accomplish this we follow "Puppy Culture". We do Early Neurological Stimulation in days 3-16 and from there do many sound and sensory activities to provide as much early experiences as possible. The puppies are raised in our family home and handled by our family members including the children.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

I follow "Puppy Culture" so we do work on Early Neurological Stimulation from days 3-16 of their life. IN the remainder of the weeks we work heavily on socialization including startle reflexes (vacuuming, dropping of pots/pans, thunderstorm sounds, etc.) and sensory activities. I have 3 young children so they have a lot of handing and exposure at even a young age. We start crate and introducing potty training at around 6 weeks of age. My hopes with all of this is to set the puppies and their families up for success.

Puppy health practices

Puppies will receive deworming, first set of shots, vet check and a 26 month health guarantee.

Extras
