Country Pearls Golden Retrievers is a small, professional family breeder of English Cream Golden Retrievers raising one to two litters a year; we strive for excellence. Our farm is our own piece of heaven and is shared with our three wonderful children, farm animals and beloved dogs. Our Golden Retriever puppies are exposed to the sights, sounds and smells of the farm, played with by our children, and are well prepared for a family environment whether you’re in the city or out in the country. We start our puppies out right with the puppy culture program. Our dogs are very much a part of our family and we would never raise or keep them in kennels. Our puppies are no different. They are raised as our own in our home until they go home to their new families. We like to know all about our Golden Retriever puppies future family and what activities they like to do so we can expose them to it, if possible, before they go home. By the time they are ready for their new families, they have already started to learn how to interact with children and are learning manners while interacting with their littermates and other qualified dogs. Our Goldens make wonderful family pets and many have gone on to be great therapy dogs. Our girls are treated like family and bred once a year at the most. We retire them at the age of 6 years old and they go on to live wonderful lives as family pets. They are always checked and cleared by our vet before they are bred.
Country Pearls Goldens focus is raising quality AKC registered Golden Retriever puppies to qualified homes. Our goal is to raise happy, healthy, smart puppies for great people. Our dams and sires are all meticulously screened and meet OFA, AKC and GRCA requirements. Dams and sires are also voluntarily genetically tested through Animal Genetics Inc. to ensure there are no dangerous genetic traits that could effect the health of our puppies. We strive to improve the English Cream Golden Retriever breed and provide families with healthy puppies with wonderful temperaments. We reserve the right to choose each puppy for the right family. We are with these puppies 24/7 from the moment they are born until they go home. They are raised in our kitchen in the center of our home. We socialize, train, bond with, and record their every moments and therefore we believe we are most suitable to choose a puppy for each home. We get to know each family/ individual as much as possible and then match the perfect puppy to that home. We never let anyone come in and pick a puppy from our litters period. It would be a lot less work if we did, but we believe it is our job to match each puppy with their perfect family. They will steal your heart and give you many years of blessed memories. Please don’t hesitate to call or text if you have any questions or would like to come meet us. Breeders should never have anything to hide and should always make you feel comfortable knowing you are getting a wonderful puppy from a qualified non-puppy mill operation. We only have a couple dogs because we believe in making sure there is quality time for everyone, people included! From our family to yours, thank you for choosing Country Pearls Goldens!
Attention puppy buyers!!! Responsible buyers only. I hear a lot of the following…”adopt don’t shop” and buying from a breeder leaves a dog in the pound. And you know what, I agree…mostly. There are a lot of bad and irresponsible breeders out there. What is a bad and irresponsible breeder to me? If you don’t…AKC and OFA certify your breeding stock, genetically test your breeding stock, continue education annually, thoroughly vet puppy buyers, limit the amount of times your bitch is bred and ask a veterinarian to examine bitch’s before they’re bred or if you have the knowledge to examine yourself, retire bitch’s at a reasonable age (between 5-7 years old), take a puppy back no matter the reason (no dogs left behind), help a buyer choose a puppy so they get the right one, treat your dogs like family instead of keeping them out in kennels….the list goes on but you get my drift. I breed to better the breed in health, conformation, and especially temperament. None of my puppies will ever sit in a shelter, rescue, or pound. Never! My puppies are all microchipped before they leave my home and my contact information is permanently attached to them forever. If for whatever reason they find themselves in any of those places for any reason, I’m there to bring my dog home. My puppies will never stay there. Now, I believe irresponsible pet buyers are the real problem! If you are looking to buy a puppy from a breeder, a good, reputable breeder, you will never be able to just walk right in and buy a puppy with very few exceptions. You will 95% of the time, have to wait at least 6 months. Puppy mills and bad breeders are funded and supported by irresponsible buyers who don’t want to wait. Those bad breeders would be out of business very fast if bad buyers would quit supporting them. So, if you are looking for a “right now” dog or puppy, please go to a shelter or pound or rescue and get one there. Those dogs are there at no fault of their own. They didn’t have a breeder like me and my friends who love their dogs and would never let that happen. They came from bad breeders who let their puppies go to a home that was either not a good fit, or not a good home. Not from a home like mine. If you are a new buyer and have questions, ask me. Even if you don’t get a puppy from me, I will help you. My friends will help you. But stop blaming the good breeders, the excellent breeders. Blame the ones who fork over the cash. Buy from and wait patiently for a puppy from a good, responsible breeder or adopt.
