Royal River Retrievers

Golden Retriever breeder of quality AKC registered puppies in Maine and New England. (Hours by appointment only.) I have 1-2 litters per year.
(13)

Outstanding Golden Retrievers that are:
Family loved and house raised...
Selectively bred with careful genetic screening (OFA hips, elbows, heart, eyes; Optigen tested for PRA, thyroid, Ichthyosis)...
For show, hunt, performance, and home. My dogs are vital members of my family and all live with me in my home, not in kennels. I participate in different venues -- including obedience, tracking, rall

y, hunting, and showing. For me, this is a passion and labor of love for the Golden Retriever breed. I am a proud member of:
Golden Retriever Club of America
Maine Golden Retriever Club
Yankee Golden Retriever Club
Dog Tracking Club of Maine
Penobscot Hunting Retriever Club
Maine Retriever Trial Club

Through my breeding program I strive to promote the health, temperament, work ability, and the beauty of the breed by adhering to the Golden Retriever Breed Standard as defined by the Golden Retriever Club of America. Each breeding involves in-depth research into the parent's pedigree, genetics, health history, longevity, structure, work ability, and temperament. I adhere to breeding practices as recommended by the GRCA.

UPDATE: This pup has been snatched up by a family who has a dog from one of my previous litters. My next litter will be ready in March/April.

I had a last minute cancellation on this beautiful 9-wk-old male Golden. Please PM me for more information.

Please, for the health and life of your dogs (and kids), please please please do not use pesticides on your lawn (2, 4-D and glyphosate are known carcinogens). These chemicals drift 1/8 mile up to 2 miles!

For those interested in some data from the MAF GR Lifetime Study, an update, dated 6/1/21 was posted in the FB Supporter Group, as follows:

Of the initial 3044 enrolled 11.4% are deceased, with 70% of those deaths from cancer related diagnosis. There have been 45 deaths since March 1. There were 3.6% of the initial enrollees who had withdrawn.

Current Ave age of dogs in study 8.3 yrs
Youngest: 6 yrs
Oldest: 11 yrs

The following is the breakdown of cancer dx both living and deceased.
Hemangiosarcoma: 116, with 19 deaths since March
Lymphoma: 82, with 7 deaths since March
Histiocytic Sarcoma: 20, with 4 deaths since March
High grade MCT: 12, with 3 deaths since March
Osteosarcoma: 8
Other cancer dx:
Low grade MCT: 81
Cancer subtypes: 34
Soft tissue sarcoma: 25

Spay/neuter status:
Spayed F: 39.7%
Intact F: 9.7%
Neut M: 35.1%
Intact M: 15.5%

I find it interesting that 75% of those diagnosed with cancer have been spayed/neutered.

Thank-you to all the participants in the study (including KD and Romeo from my A Litter) and to those who support ongoing research for the health and integrity of our beautiful Goldens.🐾
