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.
