Raised Like Family
Every parent dog lives in a real home as a family pet, not in a kennel facility. Puppies are socialized every day from the moment they are born.
Here is what a typical day looks like for a young puppy:
- They hear vacuum cleaners, doorbells and children playing.
- They are held, cuddled and gently handled.
- They meet new textures and sounds.
- They take short car rides before going home.
This early exposure is sometimes called early neurological stimulation. It helps puppies grow into confident and adaptable adult dogs.
Health Testing and Guarantee
The breeding program is built on AKC standards and comprehensive health testing. Every breeding dog has OFA and genetic panel testing. Each puppy is vet checked by the program's veterinarian.
Every puppy also comes with a 3 Year Hip, Elbow, Heart and Eye Health Guarantee. This gives families real peace of mind as their new companion grows.
Meet the Ladies and the Gents
The website introduces every parent dog individually. The ladies are chosen for health, temperament and beauty. The gents are chosen for health, temperament, structure and pedigree.
If you would like to learn about the mothers in the program, you can browse the page for each Female Cream Golden Retriever. Each girl has her own personality, and pedigree links are provided so you can see her background.
Before any lady is bred, she typically completes OFA hip and elbow evaluations, a cardiac clearance and an eye clearance. Every Female Cream Golden Retriever in the program also lives as a true family member. After 3 to 4 litters, she is spayed and retires to a relaxed life as a full time companion in a Guardian home. Families often tell the breeder that this caring approach was one reason they chose the program.
Why Choose an English Cream Golden Retriever
English Creams are one of the most requested companion breeds in the country. They are known for:
