Redheaded Retrievers

04/14/2025

Goose and Dice are remarkable deep red golden retrievers. They have numerous title wins. Goose demonstrates versatility in various sports and jobs, while also being an excellent house dog. Dice is a driven female with a praiseworthy disposition, exhibiting tranquility and poise indoors with her handler, and a keen readiness outdoors. We look forward to their puppies inheriting these desirable traits.

Playtime is rain-or-shine, folks! Those puppies went all out and left us panting! The post-play bath wasn't their favorite, but hey, clean puppies are happy puppies!

Not only do we support pure bred dogs, but we support your choice with pure bred or mixed bred, or rescues! So meet our mix bred puppy! His name is Ranger, he will be our yard protection, a pet, and a best friend to our kids.

Ranger is a golden retriever, blue heeler mix. We plan to have him neutered at 2 years old to ensure he will not breed any of our girls!

So incase you meet him when you come to pick up your golden baby, you’ll know who he is!

This is one reason I won’t sell two puppies at the same time to the same household. While yes it is possible to raise two puppies together many people don’t have the time to train them properly.

Understanding Littermate Syndrome in Puppies

Bringing home two puppies from the same litter might seem like a great idea—they’ll have built-in companionship, right? However, many dog owners are unaware of the challenges that come with Littermate Syndrome, a behavioral condition that can develop when sibling puppies are raised together.

What is Littermate Syndrome?

Littermate Syndrome is a set of behavioral issues that arise when two puppies from the same litter (or even unrelated puppies of the same age) are raised together. These issues often stem from excessive bonding between the puppies, making it difficult for them to develop independence and proper social skills.

Signs of Littermate Syndrome:

Severe Separation Anxiety: Puppies become highly distressed when separated, making training and socialization more difficult.

Fearfulness: They may become overly reliant on each other, leading to increased anxiety in new situations or around unfamiliar dogs and people.

Difficulty in Training: Since they focus more on each other than their human, training sessions can become ineffective.

Inter-Puppy Aggression: As they grow, fights between littermates can become more intense, sometimes escalating into serious conflicts.

How to Prevent Littermate Syndrome

If you’re raising two puppies together, consider these steps to ensure they grow into well-adjusted, independent dogs:

Separate Training Sessions: Train each puppy individually to ensure they learn to focus on you rather than each other.

Encourage Independence: Allow them to spend time apart daily so they learn to be comfortable alone.

Socialization: Expose each puppy to different people, dogs, and environments separately.

Individual Bonding: Spend one-on-one time with each puppy to strengthen your personal relationship with them.

Should You Get Two Puppies?

While raising two puppies is possible, it requires significant effort and commitment. If you’re considering adopting littermates, be prepared to implement structured training and socialization strategies to prevent Littermate Syndrome.

By understanding and addressing Littermate Syndrome early, you can help your puppies grow into happy, confident, and independent dogs!

We have incorporated a new female into our breeding program, subject to her health testing results. She comes from a fellow breeder, who is dealing with a medical crisis. Maggie recently turned three years old and is derived from our own breeding lines. She exhibits a remarkably sweet disposition, and we look forward to seeing how her health testing unfolds. If everything goes smoothly, she will be bred in the fall.

As warmer weather approaches, I wanted to take this opportunity to share and educate about shaving double coated breeds, like golden retrievers.

You should never ever shave them! Their thick coat actually makes them cooler. Shaving them makes them warmer,they are susceptible to sunburns and there’s a chance that one time their hair won’t grow back the same.

Little did my parents realize that they created my obsession 😂 I love all my animals and will never turn away a stray! I have taken in opossums, wild rabbits, snakes, stray dogs, cats, raccoons, and I’m always willing to give any animal a second chance!

For those who hike with their dogs, regular checks for stick tights are crucial, especially in areas like under the collar, in the tail, between the legs, and most importantly, in the paw pads.

Reyka went on a little field trip to our work and she had a blast, we stopped at tractor supply to see the baby chicks and did some training then home to play in the pool! She had a great time to say the least!
