Information About Tanglewood Breeding and Puppies

At Tanglewood Goldens we plan 1-2 selective breedings
per year using only OFA (hips and elbows), eye, and heart
clear parents. We actively pursue conformation points
towards a show championship prior to breeding. Each
breeding prospect must be a quality representative of the
Golden Retriever breed – especially possessing a true
Golden temperament – confident, outgoing, gentle and
responsive.  

1)  Our puppies are sold on a reservation basis only to
approved homes.  

2) A personal interview in person or by phone (with
references) is required before a reservation will be
accepted.

3) Puppies are raised in our home from birth until they
leave for their new homes and highly socialized with
children, cats, horses, household noises and with lots
and lots of love.

4) Each puppy is examined at 6 weeks by our veterinarian,
given it’s first inoculation, wormed, and a health
certificate is issued.

5) Our pet puppies are sold on AKC  
“limited
registration”
basis and a 2-year warranty covering
health.

6) We highly suggest a limited vaccination schedule, weight
limits and provide each family with a comprehensive “how
to care for your new puppy” packet.

7) We begin paper training at 3 weeks to help initiate
housebreaking and starting at 5 weeks are exposed to
wire crates.

8)  Each pup goes home with our puppy packet which
includes:
a)  training tips
b) copies of all pertinent health clearances for sire
and dam
c) pictures
d) certified pedigree
e) feeding recommendations
f) AKC registration papers

9) We pride ourselves on our after sale support and are
always available to offer assistance by email, telephone,
or in person for the life of your dog.

10)  In every litter, Tanglewood Goldens reserves the
right/option to pick a pup for ourselves. Most of our litters
are bred with the intent to keep a show/working prospect.   
After our selection, show/working pups are determined, and
family companions. We also reserve the right to offer a full
refund on any funds exchanged if we decide placement of a
pup within a specific family situation is not in the best
interests of the pup or the family.

I highly recommend the following book for parents
with children who are considering adding a dog to
their family:
"Please, Oh Please, Can We Get A Dog?" : Parents
Guide to Dog Ownership
by Cheryl Peterson
ISBN: 0-7645-7297-0

Other excellent books on raising puppies correctly
and dog behavior include:
