Individual Pictures of Puppies and Descriptions.
Below you will find pictures and descriptions of each of the puppies to help the families get to know each of them better. At around 6 weeks of age, we will do temperament testing and write up a description below of how each puppy is developing. After this, we will be picking the puppy that we believe best fits your family based on information given on your application as well as during chatting and getting to know each other.
Please keep in mind that these descriptions are how we currently see the puppies developing. Color-wise the puppies will likely continue to get lighter as they get their puppy fuzz in and once they get their adult color, I find they almost always end up darker than their color as a puppy. The ear color is said to be a good estimate of their future color. It will take them around 2 years to develop their adult coat and color. As for personality, this is never a guarantee and can develop and change as they grow in their new environment with new people, new things, and a routine, boundaries, and set of rules.
We believe it is very important to keep an open mind and spend lots of time getting to know your own puppy and start socializing when they come to live with you so that you can learn to teach it in a way that they will thrive!
Thankfully all of our puppies are raised here in a positive and interactive setting so we believe that no pick is a "bad" pick! We provide them with a lot of socialization and positive experiences to get them off to the right start, it is up to you to continue that. Your puppy will be introduced to new sounds, places, experiences, kids, other dogs, cats, and other animals around our place. The quality of experiences is more important than the quantity. Meaning for example, your dog may grow up around kids but if those experiences are negative then the dog may not like kids. So making sure the experiences are positive is key!
Goldens naturally make great family dogs and fit in great with an active lifestyle! They are typically easy to train and eager to please their owners. They do need regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep from being bored and developing negative behaviors.

Yellow Female
Physical Description;
Yellow is dark golden in color. She is one of the darker puppies of the entire litter. I expect she will mature similar to Brewer's dark color. She is currently the largest female weight-wise and in the middle of the pack for the entire litter. I expect she will mature 55-65lbs.
Temperament Description; Scored mostly 3’s (with lots of 4's) on the Volhard Puppy Test. "Can be a high-energy dog and may need lots of exercise. Good with people and other animals. Can be a bit of a handful to live with (as all smart dogs can be). Needs training, does very well at it and learns quickly. Great dog for second time owner. Titbits: The puppy with mostly 3’s and 4’s can be quite a handful, but should be good with children and does well with training. Energy needs to be dispersed with plenty of exercise."
Yellow is naturally confident, has good energy, and is very engaging. She always approaches me happily and follows me around wanting attention. She is quiet and calm when being picked up and does not struggle. She loves to be held but is also ready to be put down to go run around and explore. She has a very curious nature and loves to go exploring on her own. She likes to wrestle with her siblings. I would consider her a leader within the pack.
Purple Female
Physical Description;
Purple is dark golden in color. She is one of the darker puppies of the entire litter. I expect she will mature similar to Brewer's color. She is currently the smallest puppy in the entire litter. She is technically still at a normal weight for her age but she is a few pounds smaller than her siblings and growing at a slower pace. I expect that she will likely mature on the smaller side around 45-55bs.
Temperament Description; Scored mostly 3’s (with lots of 4's) on the Volhard Puppy Test. "Can be a high-energy dog and may need lots of exercise. Good with people and other animals. Can be a bit of a handful to live with (as all smart dogs can be). Needs training, does very well at it and learns quickly. Great dog for second time owner. Titbits: The puppy with mostly 3’s and 4’s can be quite a handful, but should be good with children and does well with training. Energy needs to be dispersed with plenty of exercise."
Purple's smaller size does not hold her back in the slightest. She is naturally confident, has good energy, and is very engaging. She always approaches me happily and follows me around wanting attention. She can be quite needy with wanting attention, moreso than some of her siblings. She is quiet and calm when being picked up and does not struggle. She would be content to be held all day if it were her choice, though she does like to get down and go explore. She has a very curious nature and loves to go exploring on her own. She likes to wrestle with her siblings. I would consider her neutral within the pack.
Pink Female
Physical Description; Pink is dark golden in color, though on the lighter side of the dark golden color spectrum. She is the lightest of the litter and I expect she will mature closer to Laika's color. She is currently the second smallest puppy in the entire litter. She is technically still at a normal weight for her age but she is a few pounds smaller than her siblings. I expect that she will likely mature on the smaller side around 45-55bs.
Temperament Description; Scored mostly 4’s on the Volhard Puppy Test. "The kind of dog that makes the perfect pet. Best choice for the first time owner. Rarely will buck for a promotion in the family. Easy to train, and rather quiet. Good with people, children, although may need protection from the children. Choose this pup, take it to obedience classes, and you’ll be the star, without having to do too much work! Titbits: The puppy with mostly 3’s and 4’s can be quite a handful, but should be good with children and does well with training. Energy needs to be dispersed with plenty of exercise."
Pink is my lover puppy of the litter. She is naturally confident, has good energy, and is very engaging. She is the most mild when it comes to energy. She approaches happily, eagerly follows me around but is not always pushy for attention like most puppies. She is quiet and calm when being picked up and does not struggle. She would sit and be held all day if it was her choice. You will usually find her following a pal when exploring. She likes to wrestle with her siblings. I would consider her a follower within the pack.
