Not your Grandparent's "Dog Breeder"
Refined, In-Home Breeders Implementing Modern Methods with Advanced Technology
We are your breeder source for "English Cream" Retrievers or "English Retriever" or more correctly Light Golden Retriever puppies. We only breed "English Cream" Retrievers. 16 years ago, we rescued a retriever puppy and fell in love with the breed. Now, we have been breeding English Creams for over 3 years.
We are not and never will be a large Kennel Operation. We raise these dogs in our home, so we only have a couple of litters per year. Our adult dogs are our loving pets, not simply "breeding stock". With that said, we are laser-focused on doing our part to ensure our retrievers produce the healthiest, least genetically flawed offspring possible. Our Dam's and their Hand-Picked Sire's are part of the highest quality blood lines and genetically cleared pure-bred Retrievers you will find.
It took us more than a year of searching to find the Sire's with the genetic make-up and Pedigree that paired just right with each of our Dam's. As a result, our puppies are among the best pure-bred, genetically tested English Cream or Light Golden Retrievers available.
In The United States of America, the American Kennel Club (AKC) does NOT recognize "English Cream" Retrievers as a breed. Regardless of a dog's national origin or nationality of their bloodline, pure-bred light or cream colored retrievers must be registered in the USA under one of the official color designations for Golden Retrievers specified by the AKC.
The 3 standard AKC color designations for Golden Retrievers are; Dark Golden (Reg. Code 080), Golden (Reg. Code 093) and Light Golden (Reg. Code 119).
To us, it really doesn't matter if they are referred to as English Cream, English Retriever, Golden or Light Golden Retriever, as long as each animal is really and truly loved and is ALWAYS treated with kindness by everyone they encounter.
Bloodlines Matter
Happy and Healthy Bloodline
For us, it will ALWAYS be about quality over quantity.
All parents and all puppies are genetically tested for the eight common Golden Retriever genetic deficiencies (prcd, PRA1, PRA2, DM, MD, NCL, ICH, and ICH2) unless cleared by parentage (meaning both parents are not carriers or affected by any of the deficiencies). A copy of each new puppy's individual Genetic Test Report is provided with every puppy purchased from us. For more information on genetic testing, please click here.
In addition to being genetically tested, all puppies are dewormed regularly, microchipped using AKC Reunite, started on their first series of shots, socialized with other dogs and humans, introduced to the great outdoors, started on crate training as well as potty training. Our puppies are raised utilizing Jeanette Forrey's
Industry Leading B.A.B Protocols.
