Our mission started in a class project by one of our children on how we can help make a difference in the world. So we created our program for huskies. Our mission is to bring affordability and families with home bred puppies to new puppy friendly homes. We are proud to be a part of the solution in the elimination of puppy mills and the mistreatment of puppies in stores. We strive to be the preferred solution. We are a cost sharing program, meaning, all the rehoming fees are based on the costs associated with that litter and to maintain our programs. Disclaimer: This is a family owned and run program. The proceeds go to continuing the program and its future growth. We are not provided grants or government funding, nor do we accept public assistance or donations for this program. We are a group of breeders working together to fight for a cause. We believe that animals deserve better and a better chance than what they are being given at stores. We are very proud of this program and will continue our best to provide affordable puppies to families. We simply incur reimbursement of what the litter cost us. This is a program/hobby run by a family and their children, it is not a business enterprise at this time.
As our future goals for the program are being achieved, we plan to build a facility to train golden retrievers to become service dogs for children with disabilities. Add an answer to this item.

It has become a habit that people overlook the health guarantee conditions and wait until after their guarantee expires to make necessary decisions. Please make sure to follow your health guarantee in order to take advantage of its reimbursement benefits. Once it expires, we are no longer responsible. This action is a deliberate disregard to the health and safety of your puppy and we should not be held responsible for owner negligence

Do not give up, things will get better, the key is to stay consistent. Also, schedule a vet visit right away, it is important that nothing is left overlooked. Please understand, puppies are new to everything around them in the first few weeks in your home. A new environment is very stressful, please make sure not to overstimulate or attempt to over stimulate a puppy. If signs of stress appear, diarrhea, crying or excessive shyness, give them space with a quite room with less activity from your home to give them the time to adjust. Some puppies adapt better than others. However, it is important to be mindful of these things to make the transition process smooth for all types of puppy personalities. Patience and understanding is key.
Puppies are like people, new environment with strangers is very stressful. Stressed puppies have a tendency to display this by having diarrhea. You should also expect that once a puppy is separated from its litter it will cry, especially at night. To reduce the hard nights. Try to have the puppy sleep in close proximity to you. They need to feel that you are their new family and will protect them. Puppies are also expected to have many accidents in the home.

Potty training a puppy is very challenging and requires a lot of patience and care. Many people give up way too quickly. With time and consistency, your puppy will learn. They follow your lead. Make sure to give them a treat when they do the right thing (Petting them and praising "good potty" is very useful and a stern "bad potty" not when they do it wrong.

Any person(s) who do not show up to their scheduled appointment and does not call to cancel will not be permitted to reschedule. A lot of preparation is involved and we have a packed schedule, it is extremely inconsiderate to not show up and not call.

All applicants are under review from the start of the process to finish. A puppy is a major responsibility. How one conducts themselves says a great deal. If we don't feel comfortable, we reserve the right to refuse a given person an animal if we deem that person unfit.
It is important to note, that the puppy process is not an easy one and is expensive. A puppy is like an unexperienced child in a world they don't understand the expectation of them. It is important to consistently show them what is expected of them. In time, they can change their behavior as they grow and becomes acclimated within a new environment and its habitants. Like a child, if they are not properly taught, they will develop bad behaviors and/or tendencies. Disciplining an animal is not an easy task and must be done properly and consistently. However, if an owner feels the challenge becomes too great, hiring a professional trainer will become necessary. Sooner rather than later is best. Don't wait until its too late to fix. As we have stated previously, a puppy and its up keeping is a very costly endeavor. If an owner is not able to afford the potential upcoming disciplinary challenges that may arise during its youth, we strongly recommend to not acquire a puppy at this time. Also, trainers have a tendency to blame everything on genetics. Just for clarity, there is no such disorder that is genetically tested to determine behavioral traits during the OFA or Any other genetic testing panel. The parents pass their personality traits to their children. Predominately the mother's personality. As puppies grow we socialize them with our family and monitor their behaviors for abnormalities and if necessary assist in guiding our puppies as they grow within our care. Periodically, we get requests for us to pay for an extravagant rug or a sofa that the new owner's puppy damaged. Once you purchase this puppy, he or she is yours and your sole responsibility. You the buyer, become fully responsible for the actions of your puppy upon the date of purchase. We cannot guarantee, their behavior to be a certain way to anyone's liking. They have a mind of their own and will react accordingly to their new environments. If you do not properly and consistently train your puppy, the consequences of those actions are on the owner, NOT the breeder. Any damages your puppy does is the responsibility of the owner on record. again, NOT the breeder. We cannot control what the owner does or the puppy once they leave our premises.
We used to do Siberian Huskies, however, presently we only do pure breed Golden Retrievers. This decision was not an easy one.
