Golden Meadows Retrievers is located in the middle of 110 beautiful acres. Our golden retrievers and Vizslas are our pride and joy but it wouldn’t be a ranch life without fresh eggs from the chicken coop every morning! We do mark the eggs so we know which ones will be hatching eventually. The arrival of our chickens is just as exciting as the arrival of our pups, we loooove animals.
Our pups are gentle, loving, and very smart. Here is a photo of one of our pups welcoming “Tenders” to the Ranch.
Adorable right?!
We are very proud of our lines, we breed not only for looks but for temperament and health as well. All of our pups start their socialization and training at 3 days of age and receive it daily until they go to their forever homes at 8 weeks of age. The socialization and training at this point is not so much behavioral training but making a more well rounded pup by the time they enter your home. We get your puppy use to new environments, sounds, smells, materials, and textures. We do this using the Rule of 7, ENS, and Von Falconers Way. (You can read about all of these on the top right hand side of our web site).
Once the pups are old enough we will start taking them on car rides around the ranch. This gets them comfortable in the car so they aren’t completely shocked when they go home. Our trainees get car rides into town where they become familiar with the noises in town. Since we are located in the middle of 110 acres they are not around the town noises every day. Our trainers take the puppies home with them over night for socialization and to prepare them for their trip to their forever home.
