Goldens at Farmyard1832

Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet Golden Retriever puppies (now full-grown dogs)! To our Star Wars and Mario litter, you have been on my mind for the past two weeks.... I don't know where this week went and I'm sorry I missed your birthdays, but happy belated from us here at Goldens at Farmyard 1832. 🎉🐾

We cannot believe you are already two years old! Time flies, and we truly can’t wait to see how you’ve grown and hear all about your wonderful families who are spoiling you and loving you every day. Please join our privet Farmyard1832 Families as this was not something that existed when you left our house. We love reconnecting and seeing what everyone's doing around the country. 🐶❤️

We’ve been keeping busy too — we’ve been active in our 4H club, and just yesterday we donated homemade toys to the Hardin County Dog Shelter and had a blast playing with the puppies there. Giving back in is an honor and felt so special.

Wishing you all the happiest of birthdays full of treats, belly rubs, and tail wags. Please feel free to send us updates or photos — we’d love to see your happy faces! 🐕🎂

A few weeks ago, my daughter had the opportunity to see our vet’s office in a whole new light. We’ve been there so many times—always welcomed by their kind and compassionate staff—as they cared for our animals, guided Mya through her dogs pregnancies, and supported us through puppy checkups and X-rays.

But this visit was different. This time, my daughter got to see things from a vet’s perspective, stepping into the surgery room and experiencing firsthand what it’s like behind the scenes.

It was an inspiring and eye-opening experience—one we’re both so grateful for.

Last week we had Maggie, Mya and Cadence in the clinic for job shadowing. They are interested in working the veterinary industry. We hope they had a good time and learned some things! 🐱 🐾 🐶

I am thankful for the individual who made me aware of these scams. During my previous interaction with people commenting on our page, I was slightly concerned, yet I did not think they would actually go so far as to steal our photos, which clearly displayed our logo.

Molly is learning agility for the first time this year. I think this is her second attempt at the big ramp. We still need practice!

This is so interesting!

All of this!!!! 🙌

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the sofa or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

(Not my post/images but very useful information and a great visual perspective!- Credit goes to the original poster).

Today, Waffles was rehomed. We appreciate everyone's interest in her. She is such a sweet puppy, we hope her new family will love for her just as much as we did.

The decision to bring a puppy into one's life often hinges on timing. Although the timing was not right for her, we will continue to care for Waffles as our own until she finds a suitable permanent home. This young lady has been diligently working on her housebreaking and commands. To inquire about Waffles, please contact us for further information.

Look who came to see her siblings today. We had the pleasure of seeing Lucy, also known as Spot, back on the farm for a visit. She brought a playful energy and loved her butt scratched. It's just what I needed after a long week, and it was nice to catch up with her human too. 😉

I love the bonds we make through this journey with our Goldens!

This little girl woke up at 6:30 this morning, had breakfast, a shower, got all 18 toenails trimmed, and had her ears cleaned. She's now enjoying one last moment at home with her mama and me before embarking on her lifelong adventure elsewhere.

They're turning seven weeks old tomorrow; I'm amazed at how much they've grown.
