Information + FAQ
Our Promise and Mission
We are committed to providing a healthy, genetically sound, well-rounded, beautiful English Cream Retriever to your home. We hope each new fur baby addition will bless your family with love, loyalty, and companionship for many years.
Our Health and Care Standards
All of our dams and sires are tested for genetics, hips, elbows, eyes, and heart. This process allows us to ensure that not only are you purchasing a puppy that is loveable and loyal, but undeniably healthy and ready to live a long and happy life.
All dams and sires also fall under either an AKC (American Kennel Club) or CKC (Continental Kennel Club) certification, ensuring a pure lineage that you can count on.
Puppies are dewormed and vet checked at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks and will receive their first round of vaccinations.
As primarily family dogs for our clients, we also take immense care in their socialization around other dogs here on the farm. Our family and extended family (including children) help care for and socialize each puppy and aid in acclimating them to various noises. We are ready for however much love and affection you’ve to offer.
All of our puppies (and parents) are fed a premium food when they’re weaned, and given NuVet supplements to begin the 2-year health guarantee held by Gracie’s Goldens for our puppies.
