Raven Lee's Retrievers

Raven Lee's Retrievers Dog Breeder Welcome to the home of Raven Lee's Retrievers. My name is Lauren Helmick. Our story as breeders began when i was just a little girl.

Myself, my husband Tommy Helmick, and our son Saylor are the proud owners of an AKC registered OFA hip and elbow certified golden retriever named Raven Lee, who will be 3 in February. My mom always had litters of puppies while my sibilings and i were growing up. If you know me, you know dogs have always been a passion of mine, thanks to my mother. She has over 25 years of experience with breeding

and has taught me everything i know. When my husband and i purchased our first home in 2018 we decided we wanted to get a golden retriever to raise alongside our family and have the occasional litters of puppies to give others the opportunity to have a loving family dog. So we drove to Nebraska and picked up our girl. We brought her home to our Aussie, Nash, who absolutely adores her. She has truly been the best addition to our family. In 2019 we got married and had our son Saylor in march of 2020. The passion for animals is holding strong with our son, who absolutely loves his puppies. They are both always right by his side making sure he is happy and has frequent kisses! Prior to getting Raven, knowing we wanted to breed one day, we got my mother in law a male AKC
registered Golden Retriever, named Duke. Duke is a larger Golden that loves swimming in the pond and running around the farm. This is truly a family affair and we couldnt be more excited to work with our families and share our love for Goldens with you all. With love,

The Helmick Family.

Our cousins came to pick out their male pup tonight and give all the pups some social time! They have narrowed it down to 3! We think we know which one they will chose, my favorite, but they will decide tuesday, but will not be telling the kiddos until pick up day! Excited to see what pup stays in the family and potentially becomes the stud to our next female!

It is with a heavy heart that we share, our mama girl, Raven, had to be taken in for an emergency spay due to Pyometra, a uterine infection. We are greatful that this was caught so soon and we are able to get her healthy. With that being said, the puppies will be supplemented with formula for the next few weeks until we are able to get them on some puppy food.

As sad as we are that this will be her first and final litter, her health is the most important thing to us as she is a family pet first! She is in great hands at the Vet right now, and will hopefully be home on Sunday.

The pups took to the formula very well and are now milk drunk!

Pyometra is not anything that can be passed down to the pups.

Though Raven will no longer be bred, this is not the end for Raven Lee's Retrievers. We will be looking for another breeding female and will continue sharing our love for Goldens with everyone!
