Here at 3rd Coast Goldens we believe in helping others by spreading The Love of Golden Retrievers one dog at a time. Our puppies are family to us! We breed responsibly paying special attention to minimizing the known hereditary diseases by having all our parents' Genetically tested.
Our pups come to you up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations and worming. Pups are microchipped. We start ESI (early scent introduction) and ENS (early neurological stimulation) at day 3. We start potty training at 3 weeks old, and they are introduced to kennel and crate training between weeks 5-8.
All of our puppies are temperament tested at 7 weeks old. Temperament testing shows us the individual personalities of each puppy. This testing helps us to identify which pups would be better suited as therapy or service animals. This also helps you understand the behavioral traits of each individual puppy as bringing one home is meant to be "Fur-Ever!"
Our pups are sold with Limited Registration. A deposit of $500 is required for names to be added to the reservation list. The remaining balance is due in cash at pickup.
Full Registration is offered if approved based on information provided about your breeding program at an additional cost of $500
We specialize in breeding top-quality Golden Retrievers and reserve the top spot on our reservation lists for several reasons. If a puppy does not exhibit the necessary nerve strength, resilience, or optimal health to thrive in a new home, we reserve the right to retain that puppy as our pick of the litter. Additionally, we may choose to hold back a top pick to contribute to our future breeding program. This process ensures that our clients bring home healthy, well-socialized, and highly trainable puppies for years to come.
Spend time with them, and you’ll be amazed by their intelligence and the Golden Retriever’s inherent desire to love you. Your adoration and affection fuel their spirit.
