Hotshots Goldens

Hotshots Goldens Breeding golden retrievers for health and temperament. Fully health tested parents. AKC registered. We focus on the working dog.

Pups raised in home with methods of Puppy Culture and lots of early socialization and love. Producing active family pets and hunting companions since 2007. Our goldens are raised in our home where they are well socialized and can start forming good manners. We are selective in our breedings, choosing only dogs that have gained their health clearances through the OFA and other organizations such as

Optigen. Our studs are selected for their health, and their ability to perform. Most commonly the stud dogs we use in our program compete in hunt tests and field trials. Our girls are first and foremost our beloved pets, we do train and compete in rally and agility. Our dogs have beautiful deep red coats that are lightly feathered, they are truly drip dry dogs. Our dogs have high drive and really want a job to do. They have high energy requirements but are lovable, relaxed house pets with proper exercise. Our dogs are very intelligent and can be trained for any type of work. We have several that work as therapy dogs, many are hunting companions, one competes in tracking events. These dogs enjoy learning and working with their humans. We are not a kennel, we do not have a "facility" our girls live in our home with us and have free access indoors & out. We only breed each female twice so our litters are infrequent. We are selective in who we place our puppies with, if you are interested in more information please send me an email for our adoption questionnaire.

Gemma & I had another great day in the ring. We earned our first leg in Novice A with a score of 187 and 1st place.
Her heeling was great, her recall perfect, and we have a few things to work on before our next trial.

Gemma & I had a good day at the MGRC trials.
We earned first place in rally advanced with a score of 100 and the fastest time.
This was the 3rd leg, so we also earned her RA title.

We also tried for out first leg in obedience, and although she had a great start she failed to come on recall. Which if you know my dogs you know how solid they are with this. I had to give her a second command to come and she bolted right to me, but unfortunately this was a DQ. A ring steward told me she didn't think she heard me the first time and I need to be LOUD in the ring. So we will try again next weekend.
Super proud of her performance regardless.

Three of Lucy's puppies came over this afternoon to play for a bit and got their final puppy vaccine. We missed Kaya, who lives far away, but River, Penny & Carver had a ball playing and racing around. It was so fun to see them all together.
