Pierce Ridge Golden Retrievers Welcomes You With Open Paws

Welcome to
Pierce Ridge Golden Retrievers

Now over 10 years ago we bought our first pure bred Golden Retriever dog with the idea of breeding in mind. Each individual puppy has brought much joy to every new owner as they first pick up their new family member to take home. Our family creates a home that prepares your puppy for your home.

​

Many breeders build a cage or doghouse, and pretty much just leave the puppies there. They often only go out to feed the puppies two or three times a day. Our puppies are enjoying a very different experience. They are held almost half their life while in our care! Giving them baths, holding them above our heads at arms length, clipping their nails, and just cuddling them most of the time will make them good with the vet, very sweet, and unafraid (especially of young children).

​

We saw this introduction to dogs on the Monks of New Skete’s website New Skete, and thought it to be very fitting to our thoughts. (They raise German Shepherds, we raise Golden Retrievers):

"For many of us, love for creation deepens through the relationships we form with our pets, particularly our dogs. By their very nature and need, dogs draw us out of ourselves: they root us in nature, making us more conscious of the mystery of God inherent in all things. We cannot but delight in recognizing God’s mystery in the length and breadth of our daily life."

​

Golden Retrievers are great family dogs. They love to be with children and adults.  Golden Retrievers have many talents and areas of excellence, such as: family dogs, police dogs, seeing eye dogs, search and rescue, hunting, and, of course, retrieving.

The temperament of these dogs is sweet, they love to obey their masters, they are quick-witted, gentle, trusting, docile, and very friendly. Because of their friendly nature, without training they do not make very good guard dogs, but they will bark at a stranger giving you warning and them a caution.
