My wife and I decided we would like to make a doggy addition to our home, and went hunting for the perfect dog. For two years we searched, studied and spoke to dozens of breeders. We finally found the perfect breed...the English/European Golden Retriever. We have been absolutely amazed with the English Crème Golden Retriever. They are exceptionally smart, beautiful and sweet. We wanted to purchase the best English Goldens in the worldand searched hundreds of European breeders and were very please to be able to purchase our wonderful Goldens from very reputable and high quality breeders. Recherche Goldens has been breeding since 2004 and breeding English Creme Goldens since 2009.
First of all, our English Crème Goldens have some of the best pedigrees in the world. Our
male for example has eight World Champion Goldens in his direct bloodline. Check out Our Stud and Our Dams page to see more of their pictures and pedigrees. All of our Goldens has had their Preliminary OFA hip & elbow clearance and/or their BVA final hip & elbow clearance to breed. It's a very expensive but necessary test to determine if our Goldens have hip/elbow dysplasia. Also each Golden will be tested by a canine ophthalmologist and cardiologist and will have received their heart and CERF clearances to breed. We also provide up to a two year warranty at no charge for each puppy. Please see our Warranty page for more details.
Secondly, we ensure your puppy’s good health. It starts before your puppy is ever conceived, providing proper diet and exercise to the parents. Throughout the pregnancy, the dam is monitored to ensure she and the puppies are progressing well. In addition to this she is provided with NuVet and exercise. We are there, assisting with every birth during whelping, and take every pain to ensure that each puppy comes through the critical first twenty-four hours in good health. Each puppy is then taken to the veterinarian for a check-up (along with the dam), and dewclawed. Dewclawing is a simple procedure in which the side claws of the front legs are removed, preventing painful and expensive accidents in the future. Each puppy is carefully monitored throughout their time with us, weaned on Honest Kitchen Embarq and given NuVet. By the time each puppy leaves us, it will have had its first vaccination ("puppy shot" The puppy shot is Duramune Max 5 which is the vaccine for coronavirus, parvovirus, distemper, parainfluenza, adenovirus type 2 (and hepatitis) plus four leptos), 4 dewormings and a final check up from the veterinarian.
Thirdly, we employ every possible measure to form good emotional health in each puppy. We consider each of our dogs a member of the family. We treat the puppies no differently. From day one, the puppies are in our home, being handled, played with and loved on every single day. Someone is home the majority of the time, making sure the pups are well cared for, and interacting with them throughout the day. We are very unique in that we crate-train each puppy and partially potty train every puppy. Previous buyers have testified how their puppy came home and was potty trained quicker than any puppy they have ever had. Unlike kennels that produce dozens of litters every year, we have only 2-3, giving us adequate time and space in our home to care for the puppies as they should be cared for. The Golden Retriever is one of the most delightful breeds we have ever encountered, but as with many breeds, if the puppies are not properly socialized excessive shyness and submissive urination (wetting when excited or fearful) are often the result. Due to the number of puppies produced, owners and operators of kennels and pet stores generally do not have the resources to properly socialize the puppies, and as a result, those that purchase puppies from these places often face the challenge of dealing with these emotional issues.
Fourthly, we put the puppy’s welfare foremost. We are determined that our puppies should belong to a family that loves it and is committed to its well-being. Since we demand so much from ourselves as breeders, we desire that our pups go to only the best homes. Our buyers are not looking for the cheapest pup they can find. We only approve buyers that are desirous to have a companion for life and are committed to our Goldens with their time, their money and their love.
uestions on our FAQ page. We provide each buyer with a personalized Puppy Training Manual (example to the right). We also provide each buyer with a Honest Kitchen food pack, a NuVet starter kit, a toy they have played with and much more. Each buyer will even receive a personalized CD with dozens of pictures of their individual puppy growing up. We believe that attention to every detail is important. We are very approachable and are not annoyed with answering even the most basic questions.
