GoldenShepherds at Juniper Meadow

Golden Shepherds at Juniper Meadow is no longer breeding Golden Shepherds. I P thirteen would turn us into an illegal operation, and could even force our FFA and 4H advisors to become Felons...if you want your Golden retrievers, and other animals please remember its how you vote...I p thirteen will have a severe and extensive consequence to rural Oregon living.

Those of you who liked our pages, I may be taking it down. I am not a FB super user and my goal was for dog people and friends to be able to share pictures, videos and joys about our dogs they purchased, and to be able to share with their friends, and potentially those who would like a puppy or training in the future. I cant seem to be able to make this work properly...:-( so I may set up a new page using a different page option???

What is a Golden Shepherd? It is a custom breed combining the German Shepherd with the Golden Retriever. Our dogs come from screened lines for degenerative disease, such as DM, hip , elbow, eye, and GI issues. Our dogs have excellent working lines, and have certification as work dogs themselves.The puppies all have litter papers and are sold with the ability to register. We require all of our puppies to be spayed or neutered.

The German Shepherds in our lines, have strong work ethics and loyalty. They enjoy play, but consider "work" their play and are not "playful", but will be by your side and take care of you all day long if you let them.Our dogs are screened for disposition and nose-work.

Our golden retriever was field bred and has an excellent nose for any kind of nose work. She however is so playful, that it takes up to two years for dogs in her bloodline to be mentally ready to work. She has an excellent sweet disposition, although at times a bit needy.

We chose to cross these two, in an effort to get the perfect combination of "play", "work" and "teach ability". We needed a dog with play that could focus strongly prior to two years old. We needed a dog that was not so serious and had so much focus that they were unable to be playful , a very important part of training for most jobs done in this century. By crossing the two, we were able to get a dog with the best attributes of both the German Shepherd and the Golden Retriever. This cross creates an amazing and stunning dog suitable for agility, SAR, guardianship, service and best friend.

This page is for all my owners to enjoy sharing about their dogs and to respond to puppy training questions.
