High Plains Goldens

Puppies first meal. 😄

25/11/2023

Pictures, nail trimming, and getting a clean pen (which is daily) makes for a long day. Puppies are tuckered out!

24/11/2023

4 week pictures. Growing and exploring lots. They are getting better at hitting the potty box which is nice. Starting to see structure emerge. Stacking at 4 weeks can be tricky because they are pretty sensitive to different surfaces under them still.

Probably my favorite outtake from this weeks pictures. She sure liked that wing!

Puppy update from Brian:

Been to Kansas once and my club twice. Crystal is a very good hunting dog. The best one i have had put of 4 goldens. And she has the rare quality of pointing birds. She is extremely good at getting into brush.

3 week pictures.

They are past sitting still for pics for now. Haha! They are people oriented, love to snuggle up for a nap, but interested in the toys as well. Lots of chewing on toys, fingers, whatever is available. 😅 They really like to follow their noses to check out new smells.

Update on a puppy from a few years ago. I love when these dogs get to hunt like they were bred for so many years ago.

Bodie and I just got back from western Kansas. I was pretty happy with Bodie's hunting skills in some tough conditions (dry, dusty and some very tall cover) especially since he has not done any hunting since last Feb. He shows good enthusiasm and has learned some pheasant habits that he intiates actions on. Also loves the opportunity to retrieve a bird for me.
Overall I could not be happier wtih him. Besides the hunting, he has been great with the grandkids and neighbors who walk by on the bike path next ot our house. Many stop to say Hi to him & give him an ear scratch.

Orange boy is sure liking the fox toy with the crinkly tail. :)

Night, night....

20/11/2023

Accommodation upgrade for the crew tonight! Added a bit more space and the potty box to start potty training this week. Size of the pen will increase as they get better at potty training!

They've grown and changed a lot this week. Everyone has teeth. Ears are open so we get to start exposing to different kinds of sounds! Fun times!

20/11/2023

Puppy update. Hunter is Rosie's sister and Katy's daughter.

She's not been trained to hunt but I love the natural instinct and soft mouth.

Thanks for the update!

18/11/2023

Puppy pictures will be a few days late this week due to family happenings. I will get them posted early next week.

V checking to see if teeth are coming in yet. She was being very gentle.

14/11/2023

Stuck a wing under their noses while they were asleep and they perked up pretty fast! They thought that wing smelled pretty good!

Cara is learning the fine art of popcorn catching. 😂

Victor recall!

I've been feeding Inukshuk, Merrick (ancient grains), and some Canidae along with daily raw if you need suggestions on other options.

Keep up with VICTOR company news, formula updates, events and so much more.

Practicing stay while I walk the rest of the way to the road to check mail. I don't want them thinking that going out to the county road is okay.

08/11/2023

Hello, world!

Life is about to get a whole lot more busy around here this week with eyes opening! 🥰

08/11/2023

Rosie and Cara decided to be snuggle buddies. They won't fit there together much longer. 🤣 Cara is stretching out.

05/11/2023

1 week pictures! The puppies are very solid and content. Katy is doing an excellent job taking care of them. I am very pleased with this litter.

After going through my waitlist over the past week, I have 1 male slot open. If you are interested, please contact me ASAP. They will be ready to go after Dec 22, 2023.

This litter has great potential to be excellent hunting dogs, agility and/or obedience prospects and active family companions.

All health testing done per GRCA standards. If you have a hard time finding anything, please let me know and I'll get it to you.

Rosie and Cara seeing what they can sniff up. Cara has her nose on the ground all the time. Rosie does a lot as well but more so once we started introducing tracking with her.

Rosie is a half sibling to this litter.

Roly poly little pups.

Eating, Nail trims, sleeping, more eating, and more sleeping on the agenda for today. 😄

31/10/2023

My cooking help this morning. 🤣 They think they are helpful anyways.

31/10/2023

The puppies are turning into little butterballs. Katy is giving them plenty of cream. They have started wagging tails at the milk bar already and they are less than a week old. 😄

28/10/2023

Katy had her puppies last night. 3 girls and 4 boys. They are doing beautifully!

EDIT: 1 male looking for his home come December

Out for an evening walk with Rosie and Cara. Didn't find any birds tonight but the wind is cold!

26/10/2023

Puppy update!

25/10/2023

Meet Cara. Cara is a derivative of the gaelic word charaid which means friend.

She has a beautiful sweet temperament... truly lives up to her name. Loves chasing birds... which my chickens don't appreciate so much. Her nose is always working and she's good at following it. We are very excited to have her here!

A friend of mine had the opportunity to import several puppies from Scotland and I jumped at this opportunity to add one of these puppies to my program. She will help me to meet my goals to reduce the overall COI of the litters I'm producing here at High Plains in an effort to increase longevity and decrease the amount of disease showing up in the breed. She also will bring more birdiness and scenting ability into what I'm producing.

Enjoying the Indian summer days before the cold hits this weekend!

24/10/2023

Haha!

Rosie swimming doubles and practicing honoring another dog today. They both got some good practice today.

15/07/2023

I had some folks asking about pulling. This is how I start teaching heel placement for dogs/ puppies. Then once they have this down, we add in taking steps.

Rosie got to be the demo dog for this video. It would help if I didn't drop treats. 🤪 Some days I need 3 hands. 😅
