Welcome to GOLDEN STAR RETRIEVERS

 Our puppies are handled and socialized from an early age. They are introduced to new sights, sounds, smells such as birds, music and socialize with family members especially children. They watch the bigger dogs play and exercise. They interact with toys and objects of different textures to stimulate their senses and utilize the outdoors for plenty of exercise. After 5 weeks of age we introduce puppy formula with baby rice cereal to help start the weening process and practice their lapping up skills. We then begin to add wet puppy food making a mush. By the 7th week they will have adapted to dry puppy food that has been soaked in water, soaking it less and less so by the 8th week your puppy is ready for dry puppy food. All of this while they are still nursing on mom. By the time you pick up your little one he/she will be well socialized, weened and ready for their new homes. Some of our puppies have become service dogs by their new owners

Our adult dogs are our family pets. They live and sleep in our home, swim in the pool and have plenty of agility based exercise as well as a balanced diet. This insures that they are healthy, happy and well tempered. We love and care for them as if they are our own children
