This sweet boy is available to go home today. One of my reservations decided to wait until later in the year for a puppy. He is gorgeous with a fantastic personality. He has his first vaccine and has been microchipped. Pictured here with his Daddy Toby and his half brother Trick. If interested go to millenniumgoldens.com and submit a puppy inquiry. I wouldn't wait long as he is the only one we left. I will not have another puppy to go home until June 2024.

UPDATE: Sky is going to go to live with the same person who took her mother when she retired. We are so excited she has found her forever home.

Thank you to all those who expressed interest, I do have some wait list positions for our next two litters if you are interested in a puppy.

Skye is again available due to no fault of her own.
Skye turned 6 in June and has been retired. If you or someone you know is interested in an adult please reach out to us.

Thor tried the show ring but it was not his thing. His thing was being in the field and he earned his Junior Hunt title and has sired a daughter who earned her JH and is now working towards her Senior Hunter title. He turned 7 in May but still has a lot of puppy left in him. He is a gorgeous Light Golden, very affectionate and just a goofy puppy who loves to play and lives to retrieve.
He would make a great walking, running or hiking companion or if interested in getting into dog sports he would do well at Fast Cat or Dock Diving.
He is neutered.

While at the Texas Pet Sitters Conference recently, we had the chance to hear from Dr. Roy Madigan, a veterinarian, and the principal scientist in the Canine Chagas Treatment Study.

We felt it imperative to share with our clients, and our community, the surprising information we learned.

Chagas disease is a parastic disease that is spread by kissing bugs. Similar to heartworm disease, animals can become infected with Chagas if they're bitten by, or ingest, a kissing bug.

The symptoms of Chagas can show up in a variety of ways. For less severe cases, lethargy, decreased appetite and weight loss may present. In more severe cases, you may see fluid in the abdomen, heart failure, vomiting, and unfortunately, sudden death.

Dr. Madigan estimates that up to 23% of companion dogs in Texas currently are positive for Chagas (compared to about 3.3% that are heartworm positive).

Chagas tends to attack the heart tissue, and is a progressive disease. The most common symptom seen when this happens is arrhythmia. It is also known to attack the brain.

Testing for Chagas is not common. The pet owner usually has to seek it out. There is currently a reliable test called "ELISA" that costs around $120.00. Dr. Madigan tells us that by next year, a new version will be available that will cost around $35.00 and will include a heartworm test. It will be readily available to all veterinary practices. They are currently awaiting approval from the FDA.

The treatment for Chagas is in a pill form and lasts for 12 months. Dr. Madigan reports that while it is 100% effective, it does not fix the harm that has already been done to the body by the parasite.

Our best defense against Chagas is preventative action. Pyrethroid insecticides will kill kissing bugs. Oral flea and tick medicine will kill Chagas.

If you see your pet with a kissing bug, do not squish the bug. Use a plastic baggie to capture it (don't touch it!) and contact https://kissingbug.tamu.edu/contact/ for instructions on how to submit it for testing.

It takes up to three weeks for a pet to test positive after exposure to Chagas, so don't immediately get your pet tested.

It is not only dogs who get Chagas. Cats also are affected. Chagas is the number one cause of seizures in cats.

Humans can also get Chagas. If your pet tests positive, every pet in the house should be tested, as well as all humans.

Antibodies are not effective at preventing reinfection, so a vaccine is not an option. Researchers are currently working to develop a slow-release injectible to protect pets.

Our takeaways:

*Chagas is impacting more pets than most people know. If your pet is showing unusual symptoms, ask your veterinarian to test them for Chagas. The sooner it is detected, the better off your pet will fare.

*Chagas is a treatable disease.

*Be aware of your enviroment. Keep your yard clean. Turn off outdoor lighting. Bring pets inside at night. Remove piles of rocks, leaves or wood near your home. Keep vegetation trimmed regularly. If you find a kissing bug, submit it for testing.

*If your pet tests positive for Chagas, test ALL your pets. Also, test all humans in the house.

A pleasant evening on the back porch with Toby, Reba, & Trick

I set this kennel in the back of my pickup for 15 minutes. Temperature outside is 89 degrees. Digital temperature gauge inside kennel was 104 degrees at end of 15 minutes. We pulled a large dog from this kennel in the back of a pickup ...body temp was 104.3 degrees! Please educate through sharing this.
