PROSPECTIVE PUPPY PURCHASER INFORMATION   

For prospective purchasers we want you to know what those conditions are so that you can get a feel for whether we are the right breeder for you and also whether you would be the right 'parents' for one of our precious babies!  

So:  Firstly, when we breed it is because we are doing our best to improve our own breeding program.  Also, prior to letting anyone have a Nugold puppy we will need to know about the home and environment you can offer.  We consider that only fair and reasonable - given we bring these babies into the world, nurture them at the foot of the bed (Yep, I know!!), kiss and cuddle them, play and hug them....well, I am sure you can understand why we ask such questions of the new moms and dads!  This we already ask and require. 

Secondly, we offer an inclusive package  given to each new "parent".   Whilst we have always tried to give as much of the following as possible. We will always strive to improve and believe this is a step forward:  We had been overseas and that impacted on my breeding program and as such had not been involved in the breeding of the Lagotti or Golden Retrievers..  

We do annually eye test our Golden Retrievers, as this is a requirement for the breed which had a history of cataracts in this beautiful breed.  Our Golden retrievers are hip xrayed, elbow xrayed, heart checked and eye tested - we have also just recently tested all our goldies that have not previously been tested for PRA1&PRA2, Ich, dm, md, nclGR and PRD.  It is important to ensure prospective puppy parents understand that as a breeder, even with doing all the testing before we do a mating, we are dealing with living animals - we are very proud of the amount of time, energy and experience we put in over all these years to look at the pedigrees of the dogs we breed from, we are selective with our breeding and do our very best to ensure that when we do a mating is it because we are looking for a future goldie to continue our heritage - we do not always keep a puppy obviously, but in doing all the research and testing, we are comfortable that we have taken every care possible.  

That doesn't mean, however, that health issues cannot occur, because they can and that is why it is always important to make sure you see the test certificates of both parents of any puppy you are interested in.

Please always read our agreement before contacting us and ensure you are accepting of those terms first.  thank you.
