How we came to be
Marsha & Eric Southern Utah Goldens
We are professional breeders who specializes in outstanding and intuitive, companion, service/therapy, European Cream Golden Retrievers. Our lines come from Multiple Champion European imports. We have 2-3 litters each year and one at a time in order to give our full attention to each puppy. We have puppies placed as close as Utah and as far away as New York. We use a pet service that helps with transportation. That too is a family-owned service. These are not just ordinary puppies! We breed for health and temperament and at 8 weeks of age our puppies sit at your feet when they approach you and know the command and hand signals for sit, stay, and instructions for, soft mouth, kisses, come, and best of all, how to be your best friend. They do not nip at hands or feet. They are well acquainted with the crate, and travel in a crate in the car. None of our puppies are barkers. They are very gentle and mild tempered. We are known for our connected, loving, confident, and non-barking puppies. We do all the work upfront to give you the very best start with your new companion.
Our puppies keep their sleeping area in the house clean even at night when they are locked in. They sleep all night from 10 PM TO 5 or 6 AM shut into the house. We have very few accidents during the night at 8 weeks. The puppies are trained to use a dog door during the day. Our lines are champion, working, hunting, and show lines. We are a recognized BRED WITH HEART, AKC breeder. We breed for temperament, health, and beautiful conformation. We do Advanced Cardiology testing on all our breeding dogs. We also do the Golden Retriever panel genetic testing through ANIMAL GENETICS on all our breeding dogs. CANCER in Goldens is at epidemic levels and we educate all our new families on successful ways to prevent it. We researched our lines to be as free of cancer as we can determine. All of our dogs are cancer free. Our first male, Jack, died of old age, cancer free.
Jack was from the Erdoskerti Kennel in Hungary and was the son of the 2X Hungarian Grand Champion, ERDOSKERTI ZORBA. He was raised by the Hunting Trial Judges of Hungary. This kennel produced the first Seizure Alert Dog in Hungary. All of our puppies carry this line. Our puppies are from Hungarian and Danish championship lines.
We use the Rule of 7 introducing our puppies to as many sounds, people, environments, and surfaces as we can.. Learn more about the Rule of 7.
