Here at Barleycroft, we have bred Golden Retrievers for almost 20 years, and it's always been a family affair. George and I , and our son, Cameron are involved with the care and socialization of our dogs and puppies. We have an excellent reputation with our dogs for temperament, disposition, and health. Our Goldens and Poodles have their hip and heart health clearances. Our breeding dogs are selected on their temperaments and health.

Socialization:
We ensure that our puppies are very well socialized by raising them in our home with us. We give them plenty of love, attention, and gentle handling from the moment they are born, till the time they go to their new homes. Our puppies are usually born in our bedroom, and when they're just minutes old, I have them against my face talking to them in a soft, soothing voice. They get that type of attention the whole time they are with me. The impact of this handling is very obvious, because even when all the puppies are running around playing, no matter which one you pick up, it will immediately calm down in your arms and snuggle into your face and neck waiting to be loved.

Our Guarantee:
Our puppies are sold with a two year health guarantee for debilitating genetic health problems. It includes either replacement of the puppy, or refund up to the purchase price of the puppy. Our guarantee comes with a spay/ neuter clause. In order for the two year guarantee to remain in effect, the puppy has to be spayed or neutered on or before 6 months of age. We must be provided with verification by 7 months of age.

We also offer lifetime support for our puppies and their owners. Our responsibility as the breeder doesn't end when the puppy leaves our home. We are a source of support for people who have our puppies, and are happy to answer any questions or concerns about the raising of your puppy. If, at anytime in the dogs life, you are unable to keep the dog, and you can't find an adoptive home, we are a safety net. Your puppy or dog always has a place to come back to. We will take it back and find an adoptive home.
