One of our priorities at Windy Knoll Goldens is to provide puppies that will be excellent, healthy, friendly companions, and pets for life. The foundation to achieving our goal is making sure the parents exhibit those qualities. As caring golden retriever breeders, we test our dogs for common golden retriever genetic points including DM, GRPRA1, GRPRA2, MD etc. and have them certified with the Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA) or PennHip to ensure our breeding dogs and their puppies are not prone to genetic weaknesses. X-Ray tests and screens are performed when the dogs reach an appropriate age – usually 2 years old (OFA) and usually around 1 year old (PennHIP). As responsible golden retriever breeders we always research our pedigree for optimal breeding lines.
Patsy and George’s litter arrived on the first day of 2023. Talk about starting the year off right. What could you want more than 8 beautiful dark red puppies with 1 female and 7 males? Well, probably a few more females. Patsy produces such soft, cuddly, and plump puppies! George adds the little white spots on the foreheads and a splash of white on some of the paws.
George and Ellamae produce our darkest red golden retriever puppies because both parents are dark red. Both parents have been tested for many genetic weaknesses and matched based on the results. Both go through further hip testing with PennHIP which is a superior, scientific based hip test. Of course the parents’ personalities play just as much a part of our selection process. Both are friendly, confident, playful, and loving. George’s energy is a little higher than Ellamae’s who is a bit quieter and more “mature”. With that, both produce easy to train, family friendly puppies
Daisy and George have the most “colorful” golden retrievers with cute little splashes of white. See if you can spot them! The are the smartest puppies on the block, learning things much quicker than all the other litters that we have. After one time through the doggie door, most of them figured out how to get right back in. They not only learn well, but they are also very outgoing and friendly.
Available!
Apart from the recent litters listed below, we occasionally have older puppies available (3-9 months) that have already gone through preliminary training. At times we also have retired goldens that we are looking to re-home.
