We wanted to share a quick update on Roo. She is enjoying the dorm life in northern Minnesota. For those that don't know us well, Roo is our daughter Mickenzi's service dog.

Roo recovered very well from her spay and had no issues what so ever. She did great at the Anoka County 4H dog shows and then went on to win Grand Champion in showmanship at the Minnesota 4H state dog show. Unfortunately next year Mickenzi ages out of 4H, so she was very excited about their win. Mickenzi has plans to do several AKC sports with Roo in the near future and hopes to earn some titles.

Although we weren't able to pass on her wonderful personality and abilities to puppies, we are still so glad we had the chance to learn from her and that she continues to help Mickenzi every day.

If you want to hear more about their adventures, go give them a follow on Instagram.

We are happy to introduce Cinnamon Maple Mayhem "Flare"

We chose her from Maple Dreams Golden Retrievers outstanding litter at the end of July. Born 6/29/21, she is nearly 6 months old. We delayed to make this post until we had decided on a registered name...and we have! It will be shared as soon as she is officially AKC registered.

She has been such a sweet puppy and was fully potty trained after only a month home. She went through a chewing and biting phase, which has calmed down now that she is just about done teething. We love to watch her mind work as she learns new things. She has great drive but also a very calm, even temperament.

Flare loves hanging out with our other two girls and spending time at the cabin. Her favorite things to do are swim at the cabin, hang off the spring pole rope, and cuddle with the family.

She has been introduced to water, wings, and throwing dummy's. We are excited to start her in the field, sports, and the 4H dog project. We can't wait to see where she takes us.

More pictures to come soon! 💕

Roo was spayed yesterday afternoon and is doing very well. We made the tough decision because she has juvenile cataracts that are most likely genetic. She will continue to compete in sports after she has healed.

We will have some exciting news to share soon.

Rhubarb Delight CGCA TKI "Roo"

https://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=964319

Roo is a 3.5 year old golden retriever. She is a rich golden color with a moderate coat. She weighs 56 lbs and stands at about 21 3/4". Her lines are a blend of field and show. We currently compete in agility, dock diving, obedience, and rally, but hope to try out more sports and earn more titles soon. Roo loves learning new tricks/commands and has more than 75 in her repertoire.

Although she hasn't done many AKC events yet, Roo has been a great 4-H dog. She has won many grand champions and reserve champions in various events, starting at a young age. Her most recent award was a grand champion at the 2019 Minnesota State 4H dog show in elementary agility.

Roo also has a great nose and good instinct. She is excelling in her field training. She works to please, has amazing trainability, and is always willing to try new things. We don't currently plan to get any field or hunt test titles with her, but instead we will continue to use her in our own hunting adventures (mainly pheasants and grouse).

Unfortunately Roo has Juvenile cataracts that are likely genetic, but luckily do not appear to be progressing. She is being spayed in June. We will continue to post fun updates about her on this page as she competes in more events and earns titles.

Sweet Treat Retrievers is a small, in-home breeder of AKC registered golden retrievers. We strive for dogs that are healthy, smart, and capable of thriving in a multitude of settings. We want to set our puppies up for success so we start socialization as soon as they are on the ground. We use a variety of programs including ENS, ESI, and Puppy Culture. For more information on these programs I highly recommend reading Galody's informational page. http://galodygundogs.com/puppy-culture-avidog

Our puppies are only available to active or working homes, including but not limited to: dog sports, hunting, service work, and therapy work. However, some exceptions may be made for active companion homes.

Before being bred, we perform various health tests and achieve titles on each dog. Titles range from sports, field trials, and trick dog/canine good citizen. Health test results and pedigrees are available upon request, but may also be viewed on K9data.

Feel free to comment or message us with any questions.

Avidog offers a comprehensive programme via their Litter A-Z course. It starts before pregnancy and includes optimal nutrition and an 'Early Scent Introduction' programme.
