A big thank you to our past, present and future South Branch customers! We wouldn't be here without your love and support. 

 South Branch customers are individuals and families looking for the best quality pet available. At South Branch, we take every step possible, from proper nutrition and exercise, to seeking out top international bloodlines for our breeding program, to ensure our puppies are genetically sound and healthy, with mild and gentle temperaments. Our goldens are bred to be consistent with the Golden Retriever Breed Standard.

Current Litters: We have puppies ready for homes in August 2009. Please contact us via email at southbranchgoldens@yahoo.com for more information. Reservations are currently being accepted for males and females. Puppy selection is determined by date of deposit receipt.

Pictured below under the blooms and on the green blanket are South Branch Puppies currently available. Pictures of the sparkling little beauties were taken the last weekend of June, 2009 at just a few days old! They are very cooperative at this age:) These puppies will be ready for homes mid August, 2009.

One thing we hear from potential customers over and over is...I don't want to show my dog, I just want a quality pet. Here is our reply: As you can see from our site, our South Branch goldens can be shown if a customer desires, however, our main goal is to provide the best golden pet possible to our customer. This is one reason the "titled" Champion goldens produce such nice puppies. They have been proven compliant in the show ring, of superior intelligence, stature and in excellent health. This results in a golden puppy of a more "perfect pet, excellent disposition and trainable" variety than those goldens specifically bred to hunt, for example. 

Regarding health and well being of our South Branch puppies: Our goal as golden retriever breeders is to supply our customers with a puppy in excellent health at pick up. Our puppies are well socialized and worked/played with and handled every day. They get lots of love before they leave South Branch. They come partially potty trained and are used to going outside to romp, play and, of course, eliminate, prior to pickup. Our breeding concentrates on providing our customers golden pups with an excellent temperament; sound genetics, well nourished body and soul and with a clean bill of health, checked direct by our favorite vet, Dr. Al of We Care Animal Hospital. Both South Branch golden parents are always on site, and you can see from our testimonials that we have very satisfied customers. Also, we guarantee our puppies and provide new owners with health, feeding and training recommendations at time of pick up. That is our responsibility. Once the pup leaves South Branch, we have to rely on the new family to provide the love, nurturing, support, proper diet, exercise and socialization required to produce a healthy, well-tempered adult golden. Still, we do our very best to prepare our families with the necessary knowledge to be successful in this role. We also recommend reading, “I just got a puppy, what do I do?” by Matthew Margolis, which is among many excellent books available on training and preparing your household for a puppy. I just got a puppy is a quick and easy read for the entire family. Consistency is key!! A well-behaved golden who knows and understands basic commands is the happiest pet, and a true joy to be around.

God bless and many thanks to our South Branch families and their goldens!

The European Crème pups below (and the one pictured above) have all gone to their new homes but are shown for reference. These pups were sired by our Polish Champion male Travis (aka Karvin Travolta) and our exceptional Romanian female, Hannah. We are expecting pups from this same cross to be available for homes in late August/early September 2009. Please email us for details.

Welcome to the South Branch Family! Below is a picture of one of Hannah's puppies with his new family...off to see the world!

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) 

And...also for our wonderful Goldens and South Branch customers...
