Quality Rearing

  • Chrysus Spirit Golden's receive the best of care. 

  • Raised naturally, nursing as long as the mother will allow.

  • We expect to remain in contact with our puppy owners throughout the dog’s life

What We Expect From You

We expect you to have thoroughly read and studied the Golden Retriever  to ensure that they are the right breed for your family.

Right Pup Right Time

  • Puppies will need to be personally picked up. We do not ship puppies.

  • Focus on socialization and training for the first 2 months. This is the most critical time for their development and cannot be recaptured. 

  • You've evaluated your circumstances and have the time and energy to add a puppy to your family. 

Researched

  • You have studied the Golden Retriever and their Standard. 

  • You read through our website and have an understanding of the Golden Retriever we strive to produce. 

  • You have completed an application honestly.

Family Priority

  • Your puppy will be a beloved and important family member.

  • They will live in your home and receive premium food, medical care, and lifelong training/work.

  • Ideally will have formal training for up to 2-3 years of life. (Titles such as CGC are reimbursed by us!) 

Genetic Testing

  • In order to continue to improve our breeding program we collect genetic and behavioral information. 

  • Will be expected to complete C-BARQ regularly throughout the dog's life

  • Request that any testing such as OFA hips, elbow x-rays, eye exams, or heart exam is done during the dog's life be forwarded to us for data collection.
