Puppies/Breedings Planned



All our girls are Topmast Goldens and follow the Avidog breeding program with their breedings.

 

When we have a litter, it may be raised with Pat Swallows at Topmast Goldens in Michigan or with our co-owners.    We have entered into co-ownerships with some of our puppy owners who share the same dream for the ideal hunting , performance, companion, and healthy Golden Retrievers. We do not believe any Golden should live in a kennel environment, we believe in the same breeding philosophy, and share the same dream for healthy, sound, athletic representatives of the breed.




Spring 2025

We are planning on breeding our girl Chili for the last time in the Spring 2025​ to Clipper.

Clipper is a hard running, biddable, lovable golden who should pass on great working ability and a partner that wants to work with you. Puppies he's produced have great biddability and work ethic. His titles speak to show what a great partner he is to his owner.

Chili has two previous litters with talented pups out there competing in field, agility, obedience, rally, FETCH, and scent work.

We have chosen a breeding to Clipper, hoping his working genes will be passed on with this combination.


These pups will only go to performance homes.

 

No reservations available.

Our Breeding Philosophy

Please keep in mind that our breeding program focuses on producing correctly structured performance and hunting, and a few breeding goldens. We seek to place most of our pups in working homes that compete in more than one arena--field, agility, obedience, conformation, tracking--or that work their dogs in hunting, or serious pet-assisted therapy. If you are interested in a performance or hunting puppy from one of these litters, or would like further information on a future litter, please contact us via e-mail at  topmastgoldens@gmail.com 



Typically, we have a litter every one to two years.

In the beginning, we co-bred with Gayle Watkins of Gaylan's Goldens. We are breeding under our own name now, but we are still breeding with her guidance and teachings. Our litters are whelped and raised here in our home, in the middle of all our daily happenings. They will be raised according to the Avidog  standards .   When they are old enough, they will spend the last 3 weeks walking in our fields and woods, swimming in our pond if weather permits, meeting lots of people and getting to know their relatives. We spend our time getting to know them so we can match them well with their new owners. 
Before contacting us about a puppy, please read the following portions of our website to be sure that we and our dogs are right for you: 

Our Breeding Philosophy and How We Raise Our Puppies 

All of our pups experience the following developmental protocol:

  • Bio-Sensor exercises from 3-17 days of age
  • Introduction to a different novel scent from 3-17 days of age. To learn about this, watch an interesting webinar Introducing Scents in Neonate Puppies by Gayle Watkins PhD, about this program she developed. 
  • Click  http://www.akcchf.org/news-events/multimedia/video/
  • Regular socialization with people of all ages and sizes
  • A physically and mentally stimulating environment appropriate to their age
  • Problem solving exercises, again, appropriate to their age
  • Socialization with dogs other than their dam
  • Introduction to solid food after 5 weeks of age followed by natural weaning, often not until 8 or 9 weeks
  • Daily walks in the fields and woods after 6 weeks (weather dependent)
  • Regular opportunities to swim (weather dependent)
  • Introduction to game birds
  • We do not remove dew claws. Click on the link to see Dr Chris Zink's article on why we don't.  Dew Claw Removal article
