Breeding Practicesing order to attain the goal of producing quality dogs that are healthy and sound in both mind and body, a breeder must give priority to the following:

1. Select breeding stock that conforms to the approved CKC Breed Standard to the highest possible degree.

2. Use dogs that are known to be of sound health and stable temperament.

3. Choose both a sire and dam that have reached such maturity that they can produce and raise a healthy litter.

4. Assure that all breeding documents and registrations are available for inspection and completely in order. (In our case we have 100% Golden Retriever without paper)

5. As the owner of a stud dog, ensure that the owner of the dam has the ability and the necessary facilities to successfully whelp, raise and assure the future well being of any resulting litter.

6. As the owner of the dam, ensure that the owner of the sire has the knowledge and experience to provide a safe and proper mating, including the diligent care of the dam.
