This is not our business, but it is our passion. Not only do we try to provide the best possible puppies, but we have been active in many areas of the dog fancy. We have travelled much of Canada to compete in dog shows and exhibitions such as Super Dogs. We have been active in obedience training with both our own dogs and as regular instructors. Flyball racing and retriever trials and therapy dog visiting are other areas where we have enjoyed working with our canine companions.
As a breeder, we are interested in finding quality homes for our puppies, and if you are looking for an exceptional puppy we are now taking reservations. We are a family operation, and the word kennel does not apply to our situation here. Our dogs (7 generations of Goldens) live with us in our house where they are part of our everyday family life. Our puppies are born in our house and lovingly raised with interaction from the entire family. From 3 weeks of age onward, the pups are provided with a stimulating and active environment to help them grow mentally and physically. The proper socialization and development of the pups is our principal concern during this time. When the pups are ready to go home, we use recognized behaviour evaluation techniques to ensure each new owner gets a puppy that is well suited to their lifestyle and requirements
Once the puppies have gone to their new homes, we believe in strong follow up service. We are available for any questions or concerns you may have and are prepared to help you with any difficulties that may arise. As well, we can arrange holiday accommodation for our puppy buyers so that their dogs can remain in a happy home environment while the owner is away. A lot of our regulars think of it as time away at the "Labyrinth Spa" for their pets. And for those of our puppy buyers who want to enjoy the company of other Golden owners, we have a Puppy Reunion Party each summer at our home. The day includes games for the dogs, a swim in the pond and a great BBQ. It is wonderful to see 40 or 50 dogs having as much fun as the humans at our party.
Our dogs come from a strong background of obedience and field work, and they all have the lovely, gentle and affectionate personality that makes them such terrific family members. This personality is combined with intelligence and an eagerness to please that makes Labyrinth Goldens a delight to train and own. All of our girls are checked for known health defects (hip, elbow, heart & eye clearances) and come with a written guarantee, CKC registration and microchip identification.
If you are interested in an outstanding Golden Retriever puppy, and think you have a suitable home for one, we would look forward to hearing from you. Please call to arrange an appointment. We are located just outside the Greater Toronto Area, an easy one hour drive from downtown. |
