It’s a glorious fall day here in Bradford, where we are Maine breeders of AKC Golden Retrievers, and we and our Goldens are enjoying it to the full! Two of our adorable young Goldens, Independence (“Indy”) and Liberty (“Libby”) are having a blast “helping” us stack wood amidst vibrant autumn colors, cool air, and brilliant sunshine.
In just ten days time, they’ve already grown tremendously! Often, we’ll find them snuggled in a cozy bundle snoozing, but as they start stirring, a chorus of adorable little squeaks can be heard, and all those little bundles start eagerly and strongly routing around for their next meal – right near by from mother Daisy! Take a look at some of their sweet faces in the photos below!
Their father, Teddy, is a handsome, calm English Cream male, with a loyal, loving, and fun personality, while their mother, Dory, sports a beautiful wavy, white coat, and processes a gentle, friendly, and unassuming personality and has her roots in Europe.
Their adorable pups are pure white with the cutest little pink faces – and at a week and a half old, are experts at nursing, snuggling, and cuddling up in a cozy heap to sleep with no particular worries over who sleeps where or how – as long as they’re all together! Their little eyes are not open quite yet, but it won’t be long until they are catching glimpses of the fall world around them! Our six year old daughter, Elizabeth, says that these are her favorite pups. All of these little cuties are already spoken for – we’re looking forward to keeping two of them right here with our family!
Florence and Teddy’s adorable puppies were born less than two weeks ago on September 18th – a healthy, robust litter of four males and four females! 
As these lovely, soft white, plump canines approach two weeks of age, their beautiful, soft blue eyes have opened to the world around them – a warm, cozy world of snuggles, nursing, napping, and tumbling over one another for the best position curled up against Mama’s warm, safe side
Just like all our other little Goldens, each of these pups go through our puppy biosensor therapy each day – a five step process that promotes and enhances healthy, stable neurological and physiological development that provides a great foundation for the rest of a dog’s life.
We love watching each of these little Goldens grow and develop in all ways each day (Esther, one of our daughters, says that this is currently her favorite litter!) and hope you enjoy a little glimpse through these photos!
Goldie is a beautiful first time mom to this crew of four boys and one girl – and all her faithful mothering has resulted in some record breaking chubby pups!
Each week finds these rolly polly little ones growing cuter, stronger, and more mobile! Now, if they are not busy napping, nursing, or being snuggled, they love to toddle around, exploring!
With our handsome, friendly, loyal English Cream Teddy as their father, and beautiful, sweet, honey colored American Golden, Goldie, these pups will mature into gorgeous, lovely Goldens.
Good night, sleep tight!
Watch for updates of several other new litters coming in the next couple of days!
With autumn colors starting to show in the trees; summer flowers nodding in the meadow; eagles circling the peaceful, blue sky; puppies growing fast with games of tackle, chase, and tug-o-war, life here in Maine is worth living. Puppies at our new farm in Bradford, Maine have had the wonderful distinction of growing up with daily playtime in our beautiful warm and sunny pastures.
As you can see, they are about as happy as can be as they get individual attention each day by us and our children. They even get to practice navigating the stairs leading up to our front porch. Hint: click on each picture to enlarge it.
While each of these beloved puppies have already found their new homes, we have additional golden retriever puppies going home this fall and early winter with only a few openings left. We’ll post updates of each new litter that has recently been born!
