 More Information About AB Golden Puppies

This page is for more information about the general details of how we raise puppies and conduct ourselves. 

Please note: we do not conduct business through this website. This means you will NOT find information regarding golden retriever puppy sales prices, buying or selling puppies, or anything of that nature. This website is for documenting the life journey of our puppies and for informational purposes only.

If you are interested in owning a puppy, please feel free to contact us through this website for more information. We would be happy to discuss further with you. 

Are you a registered Dog breeder? 

• No

We are not registered dog breeders, we are not registered with the CKC. We have two family pet golden retrievers that we love and care for and love to share their puppies with others who are looking for great family dogs. This is not a business for us, it is a labor of love as these dogs are family pets.

There is more information here about our dogs.

Where are you Located?

•  1 Hour South of Calgary
  

We are located approximately 1 hour south of Calgary, Alberta. We live on a acreage with plenty of room for our Golden Retrievers to play, run, and jump. We do not let them roam when they are outside unattended. We have a extra large dog run to keep them from venturing off the property. 

Can we visit the puppies or parents at your location? 

• Not advisable.

We avoid having people on the property for the sole purpose of viewing the pups. This is for everyone's safety. We are on a working acreage and not set up to have customers around the property.

We prefer to bring the puppies to you for viewing, or do a video call so that you can see the puppies you are interested in.

What is the Temperament of your Dogs?

• Mild
• Friendly

Our dogs are mild mannered and friendly. We've never had any incidences of biting, scratching, or aggressive behavior. Our dogs do get excited to see people when they've been alone for a period, so they may lick and jump for a few minutes. They calm down quickly. 

Tell me more about your Dogs' and puppies' environment?

• Extra Large Dog Run
• Indoor/Outdoor
• Fenced Areas
  

We have an extra-large dog run that the dogs run in. it is approximately 60ft x 120ft. There is also a smaller fenced in area for the puppies so that they can be separated from Dozer (the sire) while they are young. 

We do allow our dogs indoors, especially during the winter and at night. Both our dogs do very well indoors and enjoy close company with us. 

What do you feed your dogs and puppies?

• Mostly Meat.
• Occasionally supplement with dog food (brand varies)
  

We are fortunate to be able to feed our dogs a steady diet of meat. We feed them beef, chicken, pork, and fish. We do occasionally supplement with adult dog food as well, but most of their diet is meat. 

Are your Dogs Socialized?

• Constantly around young children
• Constantly around cats
• Used to indoors and outdoors
• Occasionally with other Dogs
  

We are a family with young children. All of our dogs and puppies are well-socialized with people of all ages, cats, and farm animals. We occasionally have visitors over with dogs so that our dogs can socialize with them.
