Meirzah Golden Retrievers

Meirzah Golden Retrievers FB page for Meirzah Golden Retrievers. An ethical breeder of Golden Retrievers. The future FB page for Meirzah Golden Retrievers.

We follow the GRCA Code of Ethics by ensuring that we only breed OFA certified Golden Retrievers. My name is Stormy Washington and I am a future responsible breeder of Golden Retrievers. We are located near Knoxville, TN. I am a member of the GRCA and I vow to remain compliant with the Code of Ethics. I am also a member of the Sandlapper Golden Retriever Club, Tarheel Golden Retriever Club, and At

lanta Golden Retriever Club. All of our Golden Retrievers are required to have the following testing prior to breeding and links to these test results will be posted publicly:
1 - PennHip and/or OFA - Hips at 24 months or older.
2 - OFA - Elbows at 24 months or older.
3 - OFA - Heart by certified Veterinary Cardiologist at 12 months or older. The GRCA Code of Ethics only recommends a standard auscultation performed by a Veterinary Cardiologist, but all of my Goldens have Echo clearances prior to breeding.
4 - OFA - Eyes by certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist at 12 months or older and will be renewed annually.

5 - Genetic testing for the diseases that are common to Goldens, through Embark for Breeders. As an added precaution, we also test for the newer more severe variant of Ichthyosis (ICH-2). Please visit my website www.meirzahgoldenretrievers.com for more detailed information.

=======================================

Curious about where the name Meirzah comes from? It actually originates from a story that is still being written, of both tragedy and new hope. On August 6, 2020, we lost both of our female Golden Retrievers in a fire that destroyed our entire home. Both of these precious girls were being raised not only as our best friends, but also in hopes of starting a responsible breeding program with. We loved both of these girls with all our hearts and their loss has made a huge impact on us, as well as my friends in the Golden Retriever breeder community. Our "kennel name" comes from a combination of both of their names; Meira and Zahavah. Meira (means "one who illuminates" in Hebrew) was 17 months old, and Zahavah (means "golden" in Hebrew) was 23 months old, when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge. My hope is that the names of these two special girls will be honored for decades to come. Our Beginning
I have been owned by Golden Retrievers for over 30 years, but it wasn't until around October 2018, that my true interest in becoming a breeder began, so I joined many Golden Retriever Facebook groups including some specific to breeders. I made a point to develop relationships with many Golden Retriever breeders and enthusiasts, so that I could begin to learn all that I possibly can. There are several great breeders that I consider wonderful mentors and friends. On April 6th, 2021, I was graciously gifted a show prospect female from Valor Goldens, so that we may not only have another companion, but to also continue my dream. We named this special girl ADARA, in which is similar to "princess" in Hebrew. Some sources say that ADARA, also means "noble". With this gorgeous girl, my passion for conformation dog shows began. When Adara, was 3 months old, I began training with her at our local kennel club in puppy classes, as well as in conformation handling classes. When Adara was 5 months old, we started showing at our first dog shows, in the BPUP ring, at the Sandlapper GRC Specialty and then the Atlanta GRC Specialty. My love for the conformation show ring quickly grew and has become such an amazing part of my life. I have also grown to love so many other sports too, like FastCat, Barnhunt, Obedience, Rally, etc. At this time we have not trialed in Obedience or Rally, but we have been taking classes at our kennel club to prepare for her Beginner Novice and her Companion Dog titles one day in the near future. On March 17, 2022, we got Nava from Laura Kling with Laurell Goldens. Nava will be 24 months old on 12/09/2023 and I have really enjoyed playing in the ring with this sweet girl. I look so forward to what the future will bring and to see how my dream may impact others in the future. You can also, either friend me or follow me on my personal page for many more updates about Adara. https://www.facebook.com/StormyWeathersWashington

I thought I would share this. I love this thermometer! It is made for pets. It has a shorter skinny probe, so not too invasive. Good to keep on hand for when you have to check your dog's temperature.

This morning around 6:45AM, Black Boy decided to go out in style by learning to climb over the x-pen on his last morning with us. 😂 It almost looks like he messed with the latch trying to open it. 🤣 My husband came downstairs 15 minutes later and he was out. 🤦‍♀️

Update: I forgot to update this and mention that Black Boy found a home a little over a week ago.

Black Boy is 8 weeks old and still available to a pet home. Black Boy had a family assigned to him, but they decided to rescue instead, in which is totally fine. Photos are of him on our back patio.

Orange Boy is going to a show/performance home and we are keeping Green Girl, so Black is the last available puppy.

Huge thanks to my husband, step-daughter Madison, and her husband Jordan, for taking their day to drive to Indianapolis to meet them half way, while I stayed home with the rest of the puppies

Red Boy is now Valor. He went to Fall Branch TN to live his best life. His owners like to do Barnhunt and would like to start some Agility and Obedience. Turns out that Valor's owners like to compete in Barnhunt at one of the same locations that we do, so we are hoping to be able to see him compete in Barnhunt, when he gets old enough. 🥰

Caleb X Nava puppies are 7 weeks 3 days old today. With the assistance of a friend, we did the Volhard testing and the 7.5 week old stacking. I will be making matches for families over the next couple of days, to prepare for puppies to go home, with most of them going home on Saturday. I plan to stack some of them again on Friday, for another look, since that will be closer to 8 weeks.

So there is usually at least one puppy in every litter! 😆 Purple Girl is my puppy that is smart, daring, fearless, the first to try everything, and she is our biggest climber. There are a couple of boys that are not far behind her. I had my husband put stuff on the crates so she can't climb up there anymore.

Tonight Crown College had a big fireworks display and the puppies slept through most of it. This surveillance video is from the grand finale and you can see that some of them are looking around but they don't appear to be too stressed.

FYI - you are also hearing the Meditation Station playing in the background.

More photos and videos from our busy last couple of days with Caleb X Nava puppies. Nava is down to feeding a little bit, only a couple of times per day, so they get 4 meals of kibble per day, but now that they are almost 6 weeks, we are switching to 3 meals per day. So hard to believe they are 6 weeks old tomorrow. Time is going by so fast. 🥹

Caleb X Nava puppies have been busy the past few days. They have had some new experiences with loud toys and even had their first quick swim. Puppies are 5 weeks 5 days today. Sorry for the whining puppies in the swimming videos. As they got through with their swim, we put them in the x-pen and a couple of them made it clear that they wanted out. 😆

Blue Boy has good focus. I will look down and he will be looking up at me with such focus.

So there is usually at least one puppy in every litter! 😆 Purple Girl is my puppy that is smart, daring, fearless, the first to try everything, and she is our biggest climber. There are a couple of boys that are not far behind her. My husband moved the platform to the dog door so they wouldn't go inside without him and well, that doesn't stop Purple Girl. Black Boy was trying to go with her. 😆
