Planned Litters

What does "Health Guarantee" truly mean, what does it cover, and how can you actually "guarantee health"? Most of us know that. there are no guarantees of good health. not in humans, not in dogs. In short, you can't... we can't!

Anyone who owns or has done their research on a golden. knows and are accepting of the health risks associated with this breed. 

When researching breeders, buyers should be concerned with finding those who take steps to limit the risk of problems and who are doing what they can to minimize these chances. All our Goldens have been OFA cleared for eyes & heart defects. they also have been x-rayed for elbow and hip dysplasia . You can find our dogs and results of these tests on K-9 data.

Our puppies will be vet checked, vaccinated and dewormed. We will begin the socialization process and expose the puppies to many new sights and sounds. As a new owner I advise you to take your new pup to your own vet to be examined within the first few days of your taking him/her home. Double check for any defects (ie: heart murmur) - this will protect you, the pup and the breeder. This is also excellent exposure for your pup.

Once he/she begins its new life with you, the choices you make for your pup regarding diet, exercise, exposure to items both inside and outside the home and environment, vaccinations, living conditions etc. all play a part in how your pup grows physically, mentally, and emotionally. These all will, in part, affect the health of your pup. 

If at some point, you are no longer able to care for your golden, please contact me first, no matter what the reason!

If you feel a Gentrice Goldens pup is right for you and your family, Get in touch with me! I will send out our puppy questionnaire for you to complete and return back to me. This will not guarantee you a pup, but will put you on a list.

When I have plans for breeding, I will accept a limited number of applications per dam. A $250 non-refundable deposit will hold your place in line for choosing a puppy (with my assistance). A request for another $250 will be asked for upon verification of pregnancy. 

This $500 will go toward the purchase price. 

If I don't have enough puppies, or the right sex, the $ will roll over to the next litter. 

If, once the puppies are born and you simply change your mind, the deposit is not refundable. The balance will be due when your pup turns 6 weeks old.

I will also be asking for a couple references as well as a reference from your vet (if you have one from vetting your past or present pets

I am constantly taking pictures now, just you wait!

I will be in touch with updates, exciting news, vet appointments and everything in between. I want you to be a part of the whole experience too.

For the safety of the puppies, home visits will not be allowed until they are much older. At which time, if you want to visit, arrangements can be made. I will not be making any decisions as to which pup will go to which home until after 6 weeks old, maybe even closer to 7 weeks old. There are many things to consider from personalities, confidence, drive, energy, and the list goes on. Each pup will be temperament tested and will be exposed to many different things. From the way they react, recover, and experience these sessions will determine what family they will be placed with. This is why it is very important for me to get to know you as best as I can. But don't worry, you will also be a part of the selection process!
