Started Golden Retrievers

We understand that raising a puppy is a lot of work, so from time to time we like to start some puppies to place into homes with training!

These dogs have been trained, potentially earned some titles, and have usually gotten some of their health testing (prelims) started.

Price on our started dogs is usually depending on age, health testing, and titles. We do work with co-own situations sometimes, which in that case would be a lower price!

It is not often that we place one of our adult males as a started dog! We are going to be extremely picky if we place Storm in another home. He was born and raised here and we absolutely adore him. The only reason we are considering placing him is because we still own his mom, his half sister and I retained two daughters out of him. He would go home with anyone, so we are considering him going to another breeder, as a hunting companion, or to an active family! We would also consider a co-own with the right family/breeder He will stay here unless we find the perfect fit.

He is a really nice boy that would do well in an active home or as a hunting companion! He is a medium to high energy, 60# male that loves to train and work. He is happy about anything and everything with a natural born confidence. He has so far excelled at every venue he has been introduced to and could go in any direction. He currently is running AKC at the SH level and needs two more passes to title. He has also been introduced to dock diving and earned his DS (dock senior) his first time jumping!

Training:

*obedience- sit, down, stay, here, heel on/off leash, crate

*travels well!

*force fetch, honor, two handed casting, good on water, etc (has his HR/SH passes)

*Storm has been waterfowl hunting and does great and he has been upland hunting a couple times for pheasant/chukar!

Libby is a puppy we held back to watch and raise as a started puppy. We have gone back and forth a couple times if we would like to keep her or if we should place her as a started dog. Ultimately, we would be really happy with either option, so we decided to see if anyone had interest in her and go from there!

Libby truly is the life of the party. She is confident, sweet, very personable, and loves to train. She has medium to high energy. She likes to get out and work, but can easily settle in the house if that is her expectation. She knows all of her basic house manners and has been raised in the house.

Libby:

*knows sit, down, stay, here, heel (on/off leash), fetch

*3 SHR passes under her belt - she only failed her first test in SHR

*4 qualifying jumps in dock diving NADD

*started training for rally/obedience

Health Testing:

*Libby is genetically clear through parentage for ICH1&2, PR1&2, pra-prcd, NCL and MD
