We have been raising Golden Retrievers since 1986 and have been blessed with many long-lived Goldens. We strive for genetic diversity, sound health, agreeable temperament, intelligence, biddability, a good nose, and bird drive.
Breeding dogs are screened for hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac disease. We also take advantage of DNA screening for genetic disorders known to affect the Golden Retriever. REDTAIL puppies receive early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction, and exposure to various life experiences, including children, cats, and game birds. REDTAIL puppies are dewormed and microchipped and receive age-appropriate vaccinations and a full veterinary examination. All puppies are sold with a limited (non-breeding) registration. A separate breeding addendum is required for established breeders to convert to full registration after completing health clearances and training requirements. The health terms of the puppy contract cover debilitating congenital conditions up to 24 months of age.
We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, an AKC Breeder of Merit Participant, part of the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program, an Avidog Associate, ProLitter, and rated as an "Excellent" Breeder by Gooddog.
