We Take Pride and Passion of all of Our Mamas and their Litter
All of our dogs are given yearly exams and vaccines with our personal Mobile Veterinarian. As a family we decided this because it helps eliminate unnecessary exposure to possible contagious illnesses when visiting a clinic.
Chapels Goldens are not just our pets, but they are part of our family in our everyday routines. We make sure they each get a special time during the day to be spoiled with extra amounts of love. |
History of the Golden Retrievers
American Golden Retriever
AKC Coat Characteristics: Dense and water-repellent with good undercoat. Outer coat firm and resilient, neither coarse nor silky, lying close to body; may be straight or wavy. |
Golden Retrievers were believed to come from a couple of circus dogs from Caucasus in late 19 century. Lord Tweedmouth was believed to have been so charmed by these dogs that he bought them all and started a new breed. However, it was proven later that the breed did not start this way.
In 1952 the breeding records of Lord Tweedmouth were published by his grand nephew, revealing the real story. Tweedmouth met a cobbler whose dog gave birth to a slightly unusual Retriever. He was yellow. Lord Tweedmouth bought the puppy and later crossed him with Tweed Water Spaniel female dog. The cross resulted in four pups that became a starting point for a breeding process that included sandy-coloured Bloodhound, black Retrievers, Irish Setter and St. John's Water Dog. The result was Golden Retriever breed as we know it. The breed was first acknowledged by The Kennel Club in 1903 and first exhibited in 1908. Golden Retrievers survived the WWII when many dog breeds became extinct. We are lucky to enjoy the beauty and loyalty of this breed. |
English Cream/European Golden
KC: Flat or wavy with good feathering, dense water-resisting undercoat. English Creams have relatively shorter coats and tend to be wavier. |
We Use the Following Brands
Bathing your pets is very important, but did you know that bathing too much will damage their skin and take out the shine and vitamins of their coat?
Vets recommend bathing your doggie child once per month with a delicate and quality shampoo. The best shampoo for not only puppies, but also adult dogs must include "oatmeal" Here is what we use. Here at Chapels Goldens we make sure everything is natural as possible to help with skin irritation. |
Even when it is not puppy season and mamas are resting, we continue feeding them this formula which has a very high quality of protein needed before, during, after puppies.
