Welcome!

All parent dogs are carefully selected to be correct, sound and healthy with great Golden dispositions.  They are raised and health tested for hearts (12 mos.+), eyes (12 mos.+), hips and elbows (12 to 24 mos. +) and also genetic diagnostic tested (Paw Print Genetics) and these health screenings go back generations.  Most have results posted at OFA.org and others have some health testing records on file here.

​​​

Our puppies and dogs are raised naturally with lots of positivity, love, guidance and understanding...zero stress / trauma... and that creates tons of canine joy!  Puppies are given plenty of room to play and develop.  They are handled and socialized daily.  They are also kept with their dams so they always have a constant loving role model and teacher until they get to go home with you!  Visitors and the staff at the vet's office told us "You have very happy dogs".

​

Here is our basic puppy program:

Natural breeding here at the farm when female is receptive.

Pre-whelping: Care, feeding and observation...sleeping on the floor with dam.

Daily care, cleaning and socialization...did we mention cleaning?

Birth to three days: Close observation; nursing help (if needed); keeping newborn puppies in a huddle, clean and warm, etc.  Room temp. must be kept warm.

Days 3 to 16:  Early neurological stimulation is gently and carefully done according to instructions in the book "Canine Reproduction and Neonatology" (Greer).  

Week 3:  Nails trimmed and solid foods introduced with Probiotics; cleaning.  

Weeks 5-7:  Coat brushing; leash training; verbal commands used; still cleaning. 

Week 7:  Vaccination (DAPPv) and nail trims; leash training; cleaning some more.  

Weeks 7-8:  Veterinary Pre-purchase Exams; leash training; Poop Patrol continues! 

Weeks 8-9:  Puppy selection and then they go home with you! 

 

A free training lesson is included on your pick up day, just ask!  

You can visit anytime...contact to schedule an appointment.        

Puppy Price: $3000 + tax.  Reservation deposit: $500.

​​

The sales contract is fair for both parties...specific health guarantees (THREE years on hips, hearts and eyes), sale and health record information. Prior to pick up day you may visit the litter(s) anytime by appointment. At 8 wks. we schedule pick ups and you come to the farm to pick your puppy on your take-home day (Laura coordinates the schedule with everyone).  Picks are in order of date first contacted.  We do it this way so that you know the veterinary exam results before you choose your puppy. Their personalities are also more developed at closer to 8 wks. old.  You get all the time you need to choose your special pup and I'm here to help with the process.  Laura breeds and raises all the litters and so she knows each puppy very well and is there for you every step of the way and down the road. So, please stay in touch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puppies are whelped in the house and at around 4 weeks old they go to the puppy pen with their dam where they have lots room to play and exercise. Puppies are handled daily, well socialized, vaccinated (first shot), naturally weaned by their dams at 7 - 8 weeks, properly dewormed, basic training started (no mouthing, come, no jump, etc.).  We also start leash training at week five.  Puppies are examined by a veterinarian before you pick your puppy.  

 

Some visitors and even the vet techs have told us that our dogs and puppies are happier.  We attribute this to carefully, lovingly and respectfully raising them with the freedoms that dogs need and with cheerful encouragement, gentle handling and allowing them to be naturally weaned by the dam. Puppies also get lots of stimulation from their dam, litter mates, caregivers, and visitors.

Helpful Hints:  No. 1 - An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...Do not expose your new puppy to potentially deadly canine diseases in public places until it has finished its booster series (3 shots).  Expect your Golden puppy to have the "exuberance of youth" for it's first few years.  It will help to exercise your dog(s) to exercise your dog to expend some energy before you have to leave it (alone or with another canine pal) and before vet appointments.  

 

Physical Development: While their bones are developing (two years+), it is very important to let your puppy rest and to exercise it "moderately and regularly" to encourage proper joint development and to avoid causing damage. (No slippery floors, repeated jumping, no long stairs repeatedly, and no excessive exercise until it's fully grown at about 24 months old.)  See article about hips linked on our Health page. 

 

Food: Our veterinarian said, "Any good dog food is fine." Years ago we decided to start feeding different brands together for various reasons.  Also, consult with your veterinarian(s) about a partial raw diet.

​

From 4 to 16 weeks of age is an important learning window for puppies. Note: It is a general requirement that puppies should be at least eight weeks of age when they go to their new homes. They should not leave their litter before eight weeks.  For best results when you take your puppy home, start immediately gently teaching your puppy proper behavior such as not to mouth or jump on people, stay on the floor, only chewing on its toys and rawhide.  Always praise for anything done right.  Discourage unwanted behavior by ignoring or if caught in the act immediately saying a very loud "No" one time only and then redirecting to a positive activity.  See our Health page for more information. 

​

Is your puppy digging holes (or tunnels) in the yard?  Solution: Fill it up right away and spread a good amount of it's poop on top of the hole.  To deter chewing, spread a thin layer of undiluted liquid dish soap (not antibacterial) on the object of interest to the dog.  The soap doesn't smell or taste good to a dog and usually works well to stop (or at least slow down) chewing on valuable objects.  Goldens are extremely obedient and if you catch it doing something you don't want it to do and yell "No!" at the dog just once, that's usually enough.  Never over correct or your dog may choose to habitually avoid you or may become fearful.  For chewing satisfaction plain rawhide squares, raw beef leg bones, and heavy duty rubber chew toys work well.  Wetting a new rawhide with water can help the dog to take it.

 

Lastly, to help your canine pet live a long life, make sure it came from health tested parents, keep it safe and its vaccinations current (have titers checked in lieu of annual vaccinations) , give it adequate moderate exercise, eliminate stress, keep it lean, feed it a good quality dog food, or partial raw diet. (Dogs can eat raw chicken bones.  NEVER feed a dog cooked chicken bones or rib beef bones which can splinter.)  Our veterinarian said any good dog food is fine.  The puppies are fed a combination of puppy food brands at the same time to help ease transition to the food at their new home. Also, everyone seems to agree that dogs are happier with another canine buddy in their pack.  This way they are never bored or alone.

"The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made his greatest gift the commonest." -Martin Luther

​

Along with your puppy you will receive: AKC REGISTRATION FORM, AKC REUNITE MICROCHIP, 30 days AKC pet insurance, veterinarian health exam report and a sales contract with health guarantee that includes three years for hips as long as you keep receipts for having fed a large breed puppy / dog food of your choice and there was no accident or injury as indicated by a veterinarian.

WA state sales tax applies to all puppy sales and is 7.8% for our location.

​We sell all puppies initially with limited registration.  To get full registration, the puppy must pass its preliminary health tests or eyes, heart, hips and elbows at over 12 months of age.  If passed, then a $500 fee is due to the breeder / seller and then the owner / buyer and seller submit an AKC status change form to the AKC to change the status to unlimited registration ($25 AKC fee) so that it's offspring can be registered.  We do it this way so that puppies that do not pass their initial preliminary health testing cannot have offspring registered and to be fair to buyers who only pay the additional unlimited breeding fee if their puppy earns it, not when they buy the puppy at eight weeks old and it is required by OFA to be 12 to 24 months old for testing.

Our paternal Cocker line began with this brown and tan stud AKC CH Shadowcast Your Talkin To Much (aka Georgie/Jaden; AKC SR49459904) who also produced for Ky-Ann Cockers.

 

Our maternal line began with Sadie who is a solid black field type from a black and white sire and a buff dam (an outcrossing of color lineages).  Fortunately, we kept two lovely daughters from Georgie and Sadie...Daisy and Sissy.  Daisy AKC SS05805301; OFA CHIC #131887; black and tan.  Update 1/25/25 - Daisy's daughter, Matilda (aka Silly Tilly) is our only cocker now.  She's solid black, has passed her health testing and is scheduled to be bred to a stud at KyAnn Cockers for a summer 2025 litter! 

 

This has been a very healthy and fertile line of AKC Cocker Spaniels and we want to keep a good thing going! Litter sizes have been 7 to 11 and whelping and lactation has been easy for these girls.  Health testing includes hips, patellas, eyes and heart and Paw Print Genetics diagnostic testing.  We take into consideration the AKC American Cocker Spaniel breed standard, but we breed for average size and the traditional looks Cockers had decades ago with slightly longer backs, lower tail set/rump, correct ear set, and more elegant and refined facial features. The puppies have nice, even temperaments, tight eyelids, beautiful heads, average amount of coat that is easier to maintain and adult weights of 24 to 29 pounds.

 

Puppies are picked in order of date contacted the day you take your puppy home.  This is because we want you to know the veterinary exam results before you pick your puppy! Prior to that you can visit the puppies anytime by appointment.

Dewormed on schedule; first vaccination included. 

Veterinarian health check done at 7-8 weeks with a detailed health report for your puppy.

One-year health guarantee for Cocker Spaniels. 

NOTE: Tails are not docked typically, unless requested otherwise.  There is absolutely no good reason to cut off tails, except that the AKC still requires it for show dogs.  One of our veterinarians, Dr. Krystal Grant, no longer docks tails.  When it is done, it has to be as newborns who are too young for anesthesia and so it is extremely painful for the puppy.  They yelp, scream and cry.  Tail docking is illegal in many other countries.  Dogs need their tails for communication, balance and protection of their back ends.  If you are against this extremely painful practice, then please contact the breed clubs and the AKC to ask them to stop requiring tail docking for Cocker Spaniel show dogs.  With enough communication, maybe we can get them to change the rules.  Thank you from the puppies!​
