About Taraleigh Golden Retrievers
Health Clearances, Gentle Temperament, Born & Raised in our Home
Taraleigh Golden Retrievers, Niagara Region based, has been breeding Golden Retrievers for five years. As a young girl, I was very involved in breeding and raising small breed purebred dogs. I have been in love with Golden Retrievers as long as I can remember, and naturally I gravitated to breeding. Our main priority is ensuring the health and well-being of all our dogs.
​
All future females and pairing are CKC registered with Flower as our first female, was UKC Registered.
​
We health test our dogs and only breed if they pass their health clearances.
​
We will only breed our females for 3 litters. On occasion a female could breed a fourth litter when the female is healthy and no complications have occured in the past litters.
​
We are very selective in the pairing for our litters and will continue to better the breed.
​
Our dogs health is the most important to us. We are raising our puppies in our home, not a kennel. For this reason we will only have a few litters per year.
​
We will place our breeding females in a gurardian home as needed to continue the continuity of our breeding program. During this time we will always be connected to our girls.
​
We continue to provide support for our homes after they leave and respond to any questions you have as part of our family. Our dogs are a big part of our lives and we will be there for you and your dog from birth to that last day.
