Mountain Golden - Golden Retrievers We’re now located in Richmond VA and enjoy living in the suburbs of this fun city. The doggies are enjoying a huge yard and a great neighborhood for walk.

We’re just a few hours away from NC. Our puppies are raised in our home, and stay in our bedroom until they are 4 weeks old. From the beginning of their lives there are many things we do to help stimulate and support the development of healthy and confident pups. I pay close attention to the unique needs and opportunities that each week of their lives presents. At 4 weeks the puppies are moved to

our large kitchen, where they have a large area to run around and play in, and which has direct access to our yard. A number of times a day they go outside to explore the world, and begin their house breaking. At 7 weeks old, we will assess each puppy using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test. Through this series of tests we can see how easy-going, sociable, alert, trainable, and reactive each pup is. Once we have evaluated the puppies, we will make sure the puppy you have either picked out, or hoping for, is a perfect match for you and your family. Puppies will have been wormed twice, vet checked, and, based on their immunity level, may have had their first shots.

About Mountain Golden

Since the beginning of my breeding practice, I have had the good fortune to work with a nationally well-known Golden Retriever breeder, judge, geneticist and oncology researcher. Through her guidance, I have decided to focus my breeding on “out breeding.”

Breeding my Field Golden, Juni, with Show Goldens – those bred for the Show Ring – is called “out breeding.” “In breeding” is the purposeful breeding to repeat desired features or traits in one’s breeding line. My hope in “out breeding” is to help the gene pool of this wonderful breed to be more diverse and robust. Generations of inbreeding to produce a certain look or quality in a dog reduces the richness of the Golden gene pool, condensed all those desired traits along with undesirable health issues too.

Our dogs are family members, sleep on our beds with us, and take frequent car trips, walks and other fun adventures. They are regulars at our favorite restaurants and are known by name all over Asheville.

Each of our dogs has at the least taken basic classes, some of them additional classes including obedience, agility and even some dock diving. We are breeding family members that will be happy, healthy, and have the potential to perform well in all areas of competition and work.
