Lil’ Blue girl picked up her first pheasants this year. It was such a blast watching her quarter a field by instinct and follow her mom around learning to track birds.

Happy late first birthday to Mag’s Blue girl and the rest of her litter mates.

Lil’ girl Blue picked up her first birds on the dove opener this weekend. So awesome to watch a young pup learn the ropes from her mom, Mags.

Still momma’s girl.

This pup’s got wheels. Blue from our most recent litter.

Working those retrieves with Blue girl!

It’s late by a week, but happy Mother’s Day from Mag’s and two of her daughters from the latest litter.

You need to be working fetch everyday even if you can only squeeze in 5 minutes. It’s a great energy outlet for the pup and your consistency will pay off.

We’ve been away for a couple of weeks and have not been able to add new elements of training until today. Having normal elements of training woven through the fabric of your busy days will get you through those periods. But today we did some work. She’s a quick learner and her focus is good… when she’s not being a puppy.

Double training. I’m not sure which one is harder to train but they’re both getting the hang of it.

“For family and field,” in a couple of pictures.

Retrieving is in the blood.

Lil’ Blue is learning about the wonderful things to be found on walks.

Off leash work.

Whether you plan to run your dog in the field or not, it must behave well off leash. Here’s a bit of foundation work. The goal is simply for the pup to stay with me.

Mags and lil’ Blue went on a big, cold adventure this morning.

Kennel Training

Dogs are 12 weeks now. They should know how to go into their kennel on command. They should also be capable of 6-7 hours through the night without messing in the kennel. Here’s just a little video showing how we got there.

Having an old dog to help reinforce good training is incredibly helpful. Watch as Mags helps set an example for Blue. Blue is learning to only leave her seat when her name is called. Needless to say, the success gets me excited.

Stay Training

When the dog has a good understanding of "sit," you can move to "stay." Be sure to reward the dog only if she stays, not if she got close to staying. When the dog fails and breaks, take her back to the spot she failed and make her sit again.

Sit Training

I will try to post some short training videos as we work our Blue girl into shape. It's amazing how much these dogs can learn at an young age. The last of her litter mates went home at 9 weeks, so that's when we were able to dedicate some time to train. None of us probably have as much time as we'd like to work our dogs, but don't let that be an excuse. If all you do is train at meal time for 5-10 minutes, you'd be surprised what you could accomplish.

There’re big plans for this little girl!

Meet, ”Blue,” the next generation of Pike’s Peaks Goldens. If you’re wondering why a “red” Golden is named Blue, just know that it helps when a toddler has been calling her Bluey for the last couple of weeks.

Little Yellow (purple here) went home. As the last two of the litter, these two bonded well. There are no puppies available. I want to say a big, “Thank you,” to our current dog owners who helped spread the word about these awesome pups. I can’t wait to see how these turn out!

04/02/2023

I almost missed National Golden Retriever Day. If you have old or new pics of pups from us, share them in the comments!

They grow up so fast. One female available.

This little girl got a new collar. We started basic sit, kennel, and lead training. Her instinctual retrieving is clearly present. She still needs a good home. I’ve had several inquiries, but none of them followed up, so she’s still available.

30/01/2023

Now that we’re down to one puppy left I get to spend some more dedicated time with her. Last night she did several retrieves back to back like she was bred for it. This is the little girl we have unreserved.

29/01/2023

There’s only one little girl left. She is ready to go home now. Her puppy eyes are not very fair so don’t look too closely. Check out the AKC link pinned at the top of our page for all the pertinent info.

There are two little ones left that are ready to go home now. They are 8 weeks and a few days old. Check out the AKC link pinned at the top of our page for all the pertinent information.
