JerseyGold Retrievers
AKC Golden Retrievers
Thank you for your interest in our golden retrievers. We strive to produce goldens that are sound, healthy, good looking and have an easygoing personality. Along with this, we choose our breeding to produce dogs that will perform in the field. We look for owners that are serious hunters or hunt test people. Our dogs need and want to be worked and played with. This does not mean that they are hyper. They are just in need of adequate room and attention. Our goal is to find a home for them in which they will be happy as well as their owners.
Please read the following:
General info: Pups will be raised in a family atmosphere. They will be introduced to duck wings, pheasant wings and or pidgins. They will begin the early stages of discipline, retrieving and house training and will be tested and graded at 49 days. Our pups will be released after the 50th day. They will have their 1st set of shots and dew claws removed.
Limited registration will be provided until we receive OFA or PEN clearances on hips and eye certification.
We require that the “JerseyGold” prefix be on the registration of your dog.
Our pups come with a limited two-year replacement warrantee.
If you have any questions please E-mail Mark Mulhollem at Jerseygold@comcast.net
