Clinton Oaks Promote Your Page Too A well bred Golden Retriever is one of the most popular family dogs there are. A Golden Retriever acquired from an experienced reputable breeder they will be intelligent, easy to train and they will have sweet, loving dispositions. They are the perfect family companion. Here is the description of the "perfect" Golden Retriever set forth by the AKC. Breeders aspire to meet these requirements. GoldenRetriever Standard In my opinion you cannot go wrong with any Sporting Dog. There are differences between the Pointers, Flushing Spaniels and Retrievers. While you might like the appearance of one over another, you should "not judge a book by its cover". You must be aware that even well bred individuals of some breeds have personality traits that may not be appropriate for a family home. There are also different 'factions' within the breed. For instance, breeders of Obedience dogs and Hunting dogs selectively breed for certain traits in certain pedigrees that make them better in the obedience ring or field. Some pedigrees are "run hot" or "high energy" so they have snappy performances, these traits may not be compatible as a house pet, the dog may be difficult to live with. Whatever the case, we match the perfect dog to your home from our litter. If we do not have what you are looking for we will refer you to a another breeder that we are confident will meet your needs and expectations. A well bred Golden Retriever is eager to please and "grows up" at about 1 1/2 years of age as opposed to later for some other breeds. Key words in the above paragraphs...well bred. It is not hard to breed dogs, anybody can do it. However, doing it the right way is very time consuming and expensive. Reputable breeders rarely if ever advertise in the paper...they receive inquiries by referral from other happy owners who have one of their dogs and want another, friends, family, other breeders, Veterinarians, the AKC website or breed clubs. Over the years we have matched many puppies to great families, countless owners have come back for their 3rd or 4th companion. All of our dogs have had their hips exrayed and evaluated for Hip Dysplasia, Eyes are dialated and checked for abnormalities by a Board Certified Canine Opthalomologist. Hearts are given a Cardiac Evaluation and certified by a Board Certified Cardiologist. We also warranty temperaments, in writing. In 2002 we changed our spay or neuter requirements. We no longer require spaying or neutering at 6 months of age. We recommend waiting for at least two years. This was a HUGE reversal of a self imposed mandate that is standard operating procedure amongst our peers. Some have criticized our beliefs, maybe even your own Veterinarian may disagree with my thoughts. However there is significant data to support early sterilization dramatically impacts the health of pets. My suggestion is to ask the Vet this question "What harm is there in delaying the surgical sterilization?" Pet owners and breeders are now paying attention, they want as many years with their pets as possible. Additionally, in the last few years there are numerous studies, one as recent as Feb, 2013 By UC Davis, CA. Visit this link http://www.angryvet.com/spaying-and-neutering/ It appears we have seen evidence that premature spaying and neutering has caused a host of issues. Aside from major appearance changes in males and females alike, there is a reduction in life expectancy. In our opinion, there are some unintended consequences to altering a dog prior to physical maturity. As a precaution we request our clients delay the procedure. Who wouldn't want to give their pet every opportunity to live a long and healthy life? Some of the negative side effects are:- Increased instances of long bone and hemangiosarcoma cancers.
- Increase in thyroid issues
- Food allergies
- Increase in Skin allergies & Ear infections.
- Unsightly appearance. Too tall, fine boned and coats that are incorrect.
- Obesity
