Experience the Golden Standard in Retriever Breeding

Golden West English Creams

Our animals are not a business to us - they’re family.  We breed responsibly and pay special attention to eliminating known hereditary diseases and conditions.   Puppies are raised in our home and receive constant care and attention.  Our breeding pairs are DNA tested with 100% clear results for the standard and extended suite of breed specific tests.   Further, they are evaluated by veterinary specialists for qualitative and quantitative assessment for joint health (Orthopedists), pulmonary health (Cardiologists), eye health (Ophthalmologists).

​Ellie (AKC #SS09400706) was born January 2019 and comes to us thru a sire at world renowned Tramin Kennels formerly in Ukraine, temporarily in Poland, with literally dozens of grand champions, international champions, best of breed and junior champions in her lineage.   She is laid back, loves to chase the ball (and the occasional squirrel), and is great with kids of all ages.

Ellie has all of her health clearances from Pawprint Genetics, with an "Excellent" preliminary OFA hip score and "Good" final hip score, along with normal elbows; normal cardiac and eyes (pending update).  Ellie is 100% DNA clear for the standard and supplemental Golden Retriever test panel.   She is not affected by, nor a carrier of: Degenerative Myelopathy; Ichthyosis; Progressive Retinal Atrophy #1 or #2, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration; Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa; Exercise Induced Collapse; Muscular Dystrophy; Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 5 and lastly Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

Chomsky

Chomsky (AKC SS26194501) born January 2021 is a certified service dog, and is working most days with his handler at the local hospital, visiting patients and brightening everyone's day.  Chomsky comes from long line of Serbian, Spanish and Hungarian champions and is a resident sire at Stage Gulch Goldens in Petaluma.  We are so excited to have Chomsky as the stud for this litter.  Chomsky is stoic and regal; intelligent and eager to please.   He truly is perfection.

He too has all of his clearances with PennHip score of .36/.40 for hips,  normal elbows, heart, and eyes.  Chomsky has tested 100% DNA clear for all of the same tests as Ellie.

What it all means

All of these test results are quite a mouthful, but it means that puppies from this litter are clear by parentage for these tested hereditable conditions, and needn't be tested individually for them.    


Most importantly, it means that we can offer the health guarantees that we do.
