What's Special About Our English Cream Golden Retrievers Puppies?

2-Year Genetic Health Warranty

Health is a top priority for any new puppy parent, and at Golden Paw Puppies, I take this seriously. That’s why I offer a 2-year genetic health warranty with every puppy. This reflects my confidence in my breeding practices and the care I take to ensure that each puppy begins life in the healthiest way possible.

You can rest assured knowing your puppy”s parents have been health-tested and comes from strong, healthy breeding lines. It’s my commitment to the quality and care that goes into every English Cream Golden Retriever I raise. We health clear through Embark. We complete hip, elbow, heart and eye evaluations.

Health cleared dogs are a little more expensive when you purchase them, but they will likely save you hundreds or even thousands over the lifetime of your dog.  Genetics are cleared through Embark, and the breeding parents are not carries of any of the 250+ genetic diseases that Embark can test for in Golden Retrievers. 

A Head Start on Potty Training

Bringing home a new puppy can be daunting, especially regarding house training. The good news is that at Golden Paw Puppies, we start the potty training process for you. From an early age, I teach the puppies to relieve themselves outside or on puppy pads, giving them a head start before they even enter your home.

This proactive approach results in less stress for you and makes the transition easier for your new puppy. While you’ll need to continue reinforcing the training, many families appreciate knowing that the foundational work has already been laid. It’s all part of my preparation to help the puppies thrive in their new environments.

Personality Testing for the Perfect Match

Golden Paw Puppies stands out because of the care we take in matching each puppy with the right family.  We understand that each puppy has a unique personality, just like people do, and what works for one family may not suit another. That’s why I conduct personality testing for all my English Cream Golden Retriever puppies.

Whether you’re an active family looking for a lively companion or prefer a calmer dog, I make it a priority to understand each puppy’s temperament. By the time they’re ready to go home, I can provide thoughtful recommendations about which puppy will align best with your family. This thoughtful matching leads to a happier puppy and a smoother transition for everyone involved.

When the pups are close to 7 weeks old we put them each through 8 personality tests that result in them getting a score which reveals their personality.  Personality Matching involves you completing an Owner Questionnaire so we can be sure your puppies temperament suits you well.  This allows us to better match owners with what me know about the puppy to try to ensure the best fit and we do our best to try to ensures that inexperienced owners or those with very small children don’t end up with boisterous, high-energy dogs. That is why we personality test and make recommendations, but of course we do try to honor your puppy of choice.

Our Puppies are Crate Trained

Crates can serve as a valuable tool for new puppy owners. They offer a safe, cozy space for puppies to rest and assist with potty training, in addition to providing a quiet retreat when needed.

At Golden Paw Puppies, I introduce crate training early on, so puppies are familiar with it when they join your family.

This early exposure helps prevent crate anxiety, allowing your puppy to view it as a positive, comforting space. By the time they arrive at your home, your puppy will be more prepared to settle down peacefully at night, making the initial weeks easier for both of you.

First Grooming Session for a Smooth Start

English Cream Golden Retrievers require regular grooming due to their beautiful coats, so I ensure every puppy from Golden Paw Puppies has grooming sessions before going to their new homes. This includes a wash, weekly nail trims, and gentle handling to acclimate them to the grooming process.

Introducing puppies to grooming early on helps reduce anxiety during future appointments. By the time your puppy arrives, they will have already had a positive experience with bathing and brushing, making future grooming much easier.

Lifetime Training and Support

My dedication to you and your puppy doesn’t end when they leave my home. At Golden Paw Puppies, I provide continuous support throughout your puppy’s life. Whether you need advice on training, feeding, or have a quick question about puppy care, I’m always here to help. I also offer lifetime access to online training resources to equip you with the tools and knowledge necessary as your puppy grows.

We are excited to include with our pups a Lifetime membership to Baxter and Bella’s training school.

Even if you are a experienced dog owner, you will find this program so valuable.  This program provides you with as many one-on-one sessions with a dog trainer as you need for the lifetime of your puppy.   Plus, so many classes, videos, and so much more. You can retake the classes or watch the videos a often as needed, or several individuals in the family can compete the courses at no additional cost. This means they will guide you through early training and also be available to speak with you in person at any time in your puppy’s life when you need training  or behavioral support. NO question is too small to ask them.  You will also get this program purchased for you as soon as you place a reservation deposit. Allowing you to complete the courses on preparing for you puppy, and the first week with your puppy, before you puppy even comes home.  I am telling you, you much get this program.  Retail cost is $238.00   Check them out at: Baxterandbella.com.  If you are just visiting us here, you may use our discount code for 25% off: GOLDENPAW

We begin behavior training, work on noise desensitizing with daily noises, fireworks, vacuums, door bells and many other items.

Puppies Raised in a Family Environment

One of the key points I emphasize to prospective puppy owners is that all of our puppies are raised in our family home. Growing up in a nurturing and active environment makes a remarkable difference. My English Cream Golden Retrievers puppies are exposed to the daily sounds, sights, and interactions of family life. From the clatter of dishes to the evening TV noise, they become accustomed to everything they will encounter in your household. Other big dogs, kids, and visitors to our home (when they are old enough).

By the time they are ready to join your family, these puppies are well-adjusted to everyday noises, ensuring a smoother transition for everyone involved. Additionally, being surrounded by people from a young age means they are socialized right from the start. You can be confident that we do all we can do so that your new puppy will be friendly, adaptable, and eager to fit into your family dynamic.

They are raised right with us 24/7.

Early Neurological Stimulation

We put them through a series of specific types of touch daily using well researched strategies such as ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation), ESI (Early Scent Introduction) and noise exposure from day-three on: to make them comfortable, less anxious and more resilient pups. Puppy socialization starts with the breeder with early neurological stimulation.
