I started breeding Golden Retrievers out of love because I want everyone to be able to experience how amazing they are and be able to love on one. We take our responsibilities very seriously and strive to ensure top quality health, safety, and well-being of all our puppies. We are located in Winters, California which is in Yolo County and very close to Sacrament and San Francisco. We are a small h
ome breeder, and therefore puppies are raised inside our own home and cared for 24/7. We look for families that will give our puppies an immense amount of love and care because that is what they experience every single day in our home. They are exposed to different noises and sounds to help them get used to our everyday routines! All of our puppies go through training in order to best prepare them for their future families and life experiences. Each of our puppies will go through the following training programs before going home:
***ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation): Puppies that are gently handled and stroked during their early days help them learn that human touch is a pleasant experience. ENS will be conducted with every puppy from day 3-16 of life, which is believed to be a time of rapid neurological growth and development. ENS is believed to impact the neurological system by "kicking it into action" earlier than what is normally expected. Some benefits observed in dogs that are exposed to ENS include improved cardiovascular performance (heart rate), stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease.
***ESI (Early Scent Introduction): This program is designed to enhance a puppies ability to identify and react to specific scents. It has been studied and shown that dogs exposed to ESI earn more scenting titles, which is an AKC sport. Even if you do not plan on entering your dog into competitions or taking them hunting, ESI training is a great skill that your dog will have in case of a future need.
***Pine pellet potty training: Starting at 4 weeks old, puppies will learn to go potty in pine pellets. This is just an introduction to potty training, and puppies will need further training when they go to their forever homes.
