What is included with a Desert Gold Puppy
Health Warranty
Health warranty included for the first year for genetic issues. Of course any sickness or injury occurring after the puppy is yours does not apply.
Feeding
We feed the highest quality dry food for the lifetime benefits of a healthy diet. We will send home starter food so you can transition to your preferred food or continue on the same diet. We will provide the food we feed and the instructions for the age and weight when your puppy goes home.
Vaccination
Your future puppy will be up to date on vaccine but remember he/she will need a few more booster of there distemper/parvo vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, and Rabies vaccine and have the complete vaccine series before going out in public.
Dam and Sire information
Your puppy will go home with their parents paperwork such as pedigree, Health certificates, full DNA results, OFA testing, and anything else that you will need.
Training
Your puppy will be desensitized for there age but it is always a work in progress. It is important to socialize them at a young age and introduce them to new sights, sounds, and smells while also making sure they don't contract any diseases when they are not up to date on vaccines. We play white noise sounds such as dogs barking, door bells, vacuums etc so they will be used to it. We also play with their mouths, paws, ears, and limbs as to get them used to that for exams and vet visits. Making them walk on new terrain is also important to get them acclimated to different locations.
Potty training is hard and long but golden retrievers are some of the easiest breeds to potty train. I will write a article on training and other important things before getting a new puppy so stay tuned.
Important Puppy Information
Spay/Neuter contract
We do require a spay/neuter contract unless you get breeding/show rights but that is only for handpicked puppies and owners. A Spay/Neuter contract is to keep the breed standard alive and control over population and over breeding.
Nutritional Facts/Information
Golden Retrievers can be very healthy dogs and live long lives if fed high quality food. Our dogs are fed high quality dry dog food starting at 3 weeks and onward.
If you are too feed dry good do research on good food that starts with real meat in the ingredients. Purina Pro Plan is a good price and quality. If that isn't a food you want to feed please contact us and I would love to assist you in finding a good food. I am a Veterinary Technician and have had nutritional training on canines.
Vaccination's
I know you will have the cutest polar bear puppy that you will want to show off but please don't. Your puppy will be needing vaccines up too 16 weeks and then you will need an extra week to make sure those vaccines have made it into your puppies immune system before you can take them on walks, to public places (on the ground), and too meeting other dogs. Parvo is very serious and as a vet tech I have seen the worst of it. As we don't let anyone in our homes while we have puppies to make you don't get a puppy with Parvo we ask you keep them safe to make our hard work valuable.
* Your puppy will go home with 1 series of the DAPP (Distemper/Parvo vaccine) in which it will be given every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks. The Distemper/Parvo will be given by a vet at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks, and 15-16 weeks and then 1 week after that they are safe.
* At 16 weeks your puppy will be given the Rabies vaccine by your vet.
* Optional but highly recommended is the Bordetella vaccine from 8 weeks or older and given once a year. This is an oral/nasal vaccine given by your vet to prevent kennel cough. This is honestly recommended for any puppy that will be leaving the house and seeing other dogs.
Microchip
Microchip's are very important as dogs run away or get lost sometimes. Dog ID tags on collars work but as English Cream Golden's are valuable dogs someone can easily remove and discard a dog id and resell them. I recommend the AKC microchip which can be bought online for cheap and you can ask your vet to administer it, it is like a large vaccine needle. They offer a one time fee for lifetime coverage as some microchip companies make you pay monthly/yearly to have your pet found if lost.
Training/Socialization
English Cream Golden Retrievers are more calm than the American Goldens whom are the more vibrant golden/red color. They are still large breed dogs so I recommend some puppy classes for socialization and manners. Please don't bring your dogs to a dog park, Working at an ER vet I have seen so many accidents and illnesses come from dog parks. Dogs parks can even cause aggression/Reactive dogs as you can't control other peoples dogs. Having your dogs play with dogs you know in a controlled setting or going to parks on a leash where there are other dogs is a suitable form of socialization.
Since the first few weeks when you bring your puppy home is the prime time for socialization and getting your puppy acclimated to the world you can carry your dog to stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Ross, etc... or put them in a cart with a large blanket just please be careful and make sure to take them potty at home before and after so they don't have to go on the ground at any time.
