Please email us for more information and reservation details at southbranchgoldens@yahoo.com

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.

Below are some pictures of our brand new South Branch Winter 2010 puppies! Very small now...but we grow fast. We'll be ready for our new homes soon!

See us...below on the red flannel blanket? We're just a few days old in this picture...stay tuned!!

Our partners in crime are just below on the Blue Clouds blanket. They are just one day old in those pictures. We're almost twice their size already and keeping Mamma very busy! At this age we like to drink milk and sleep. Pretty much in that order...

Please email us for information on reserving a puppy from one of the litters pictured above.

All the puppies pictured below have gone to their new homes and are shown for reference only...

Big Hugs are the best hugs...and, really, some of the best things in life...

 

I'll wait if you want to give me another hug...

Now everyone wants in on the action!

Usually, it's Lawson giving the kisses!

Trading pets for wags...Laine & Sunny

No, really, I can sit on the other seat...c'mon, Mom!

 

Lawson practices his balance while Sunny hopes for a small pet and not a big CRASH!

I love you, too...and thanks for not falling on me...how 'bout another smooch?

 

"Hey Lainey...last one down the hill's a rotten egg!"

Hey guys...come check out this awesome hiding place under the stairs! Mom will never find us here!

Race you guys to the swings!

"Sunny, I'll let you push me on the swings...but NO UNDER DUCKS!"

Sunny stretching her legs and expanding her horizon...

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.
