www.talbertfamilyfoundation.org
Golden Meadows Retrievers is proud to be working with such an amazing organization, The Talbert Family Foundation, to raise money for a local girl named Hazel. Hazel was diagnosed with a high-risk, stage 3 Neuroblastoma late April of 2013. She is currently undergoing tests and chemo and is being such a brave little girl through it all. Hazel has stolen all of our hearts at Golden Meadows Retrievers, we decided to help raise some money for her family by hosting a raffle to win one of our golden retriever puppies. With the help of the Talbert Family Foundation we were able to make this happen and put it together on Hazels Fundraiser web site. The raffle tickets are $50 each and you can purchase as many as you would like. You will be entered into the drawing for each ticket you purchase and we will pull a winning name when the puppy, Ellie May, is 10 weeks of age. Not only are you helping little Hazelnut but you are also entering for a chance to win one of Golden Meadows golden retriever puppies!
The puppy is Ellie May, she is from Aria and Lj and was born on April 13, 2013. We will be pulling the winning ticket on June 22nd when Ellie May is 10 weeks of age. She will be already crate trained and sleeping through the night without accidents. You will be able to meet her parents as well as the staff at Golden Meadows Retrievers on the day you pick her up. Ellie May will come already microchipped and will have a booklet with both parents pedigrees, test results, and her up to date immunization record. She will be eligible for limited registration through AKC as well.
Here is the beautiful Hazel:

Trained Puppy- Easter Egg Hunt

Every Holiday is a chance to give your golden retriever puppy a new experience. The more new experiences they get the more well rounded they will be as an adult dog. Here are Golden Meadows Retrievers we like to keep the holidays fun and exciting for our puppies as well. Below you will see a video of some of the puppies in our started training program searching for treat filled Easter eggs in the yard.
This is something you can do with your puppy at home, it will stimulate the mind and you will be surprised how quickly they can get to the treats inside. We also did an Easter egg hunt with some of our 8 week old golden retriever puppies, you can watch that video in a previous blog.
Take a look at all of the fun in the video below:

No one is too young to train a puppy!

At Golden Meadows Retrievers we believe that socialization is extremely important for every puppy. Not only do we socialize the puppies with children, but we have the children work with each trained puppy on their commands as well. All of our puppies are worked from only a few days old until the day they go to their forever homes. We are fully staffed and have employees who focus just on ENS, Rule of 7, and Von Falconers Way to ensure that each and every puppy gets the full experience of them all. We truly believe that our puppies go to the homes they are meant for and that by performing all of these techniques on them, they are more well rounded and trainable by the time they enter your home. We not only breed our puppies for their amazing looks but for their outstanding temperaments as well.
Below is a video of one of our trained golden retriever puppies being worked with by Jessica.

Puppy Easter Egg Hunt

At Golden Meadows Retrievers we like to Celebrate the holidays with our puppies. Easter is just around the corner so we thought the puppies deserved an Easter egg hunt after all the hard work they put into their training. The trainers filled the eggs with yummy treats and hid them all around the yard. We watched as the puppies ran around and collected the eggs. These are Maggie and Samson’s puppies and they are all in the training program as started trained Golden Retriever puppies.
Enjoy our Video and photos below:

Here are some photos of the Easter Egg Hunt:

Vizsla Proposal

Here at Golden Meadows we want to make sure our clients leave here completely satisfied and that’s exactly how Michael and Michelle left when they brought home their Vizsla puppy the end of January. Michael and Michelle planned to bring home a new furry family member together but what Michelle did not know is that Michael planned for it to be a much bigger day. With the help of Golden Meadows staff, Michael was able to pull of one of the cutest proposals we have ever seen. He specially ordered a shirt for their new vizsla puppy  that read “Michelle will you marry me?”. We were able to snap photos of that very moment for both Michael and Michelle to enjoy.
Here are some of the photos:

Micha; our trained Vizsla

Micha Nov 2012 (2)
Golden Meadows is proud to show off Micha, one of our trained Vizslas. Micha is doing absolutely amazing in the training program, he is on spot with all of his commands and loooves people and other animals. He would make a wonderful addition to a loving home in search for a playful and obedient family member. Micha is crate trained, potty trained, and walks on leash nicely.  He enjoys playing fetch and running around the yard just as much as he enjoys relaxing inside the house near you. He is very much like his dad Vincent; Vincent is from our American lines but he is on the larger side. He is about 22″ tall and 60lb’s. He is a great dog, very sweet & eager to please. He loves to climb up in your lap even though he doesn’t fit very well, he still makes himself right at home.  Golden Meadows loves to show off our Vizslas, if you would like to make an appointment to meet Micha, feel free to call or write.

Hurry! Our amazing Vizsla puppies are going quick!

Golden Meadows is happy to announce that Stanley and Arianna’s entire litter has been reserved. We only breed 1-2 Vizsla litters a season and with our Vizsla’s in high demand, the waiting lists fill up quickly. Fortunately we do have vizsla  puppiesfrom Bronte and Conrad available. This waiting list has been started and you do not want to miss out on one of these vizsla pups! The puppies were born December 14th and are available for their new homes at 8 weeks of age on February 8th. Bronte is a fabulous girl who with traditional elegance and beauty shows off the majestic side of the Vizsla breed. This is Conrad’s first litter and we can’t believe how wonderful the pups look. His Hungarian Vizsla background has influenced the pups and we can see a great potential for big and blocky heads. In order to reserve a vizsla puppy from this litter we require only $500 down.  Here are some photos of the puppies we took today:
