Description

Meadow 🤍 is a beautiful and healthy female puppy! Benji and Abby are the parents, they have both passed OFA’s for eyes, and heart. Benji has his hips and elbows through OFA and Abby passed her PennHips test. Abby only has one carrier gene in her genetic panel. It’s for ICH-1 she is clear on the rest of her genetic panel. When we purchased Benji 1.5 years ago, he was supposed to be Clear on all of his genetic panel. Both his parents have their clearances, we saw that before we bought him. We have the records. When clear dogs mate they can only produce clear puppies. We paired Abby and Benji based on this knowledge, thinking that Benji was all clear. After we had bred them, we received Benji’s genetic test results from Animal Genetics and he had a carrier Gene for the same thing Abby has, ICH-1. The Breeder that we bought him from must have had a faulty test on either the mom or dad… we actually retested Benji to make sure he really had a carrier Gene for ICH-1, and he really does. After getting Benji’s 2nd results back we decided that we would have to test the puppies to see if any had ICH-1. 6 puppies came back either clear or carriers. 4 puppies Merrigold 🤍 is a beautiful and healthy female puppy!

Pros

America's quintessential family dog — ranked #3 in AKC registration for decades, with an unrivaled reputation for gentleness with children
Exceptional versatility: guide dogs, therapy dogs, search and rescue, hunting retrievers, AKC titling competitors — all in one breed
Golden Retriever Cancer Foundation-backed health research makes this one of the most scientifically studied breeds for hereditary cancer
Social and adaptable — reliably friendly with strangers, other dogs, and animals with appropriate socialization

Cons

Cancer is the leading cause of death in American Goldens, affecting over 60% of the breed — genetic testing cannot currently screen for this
Shedding is prodigious and year-round, intensifying dramatically during biannual coat blows
The puppy phase is extensive — Goldens are frequently described as puppies until age three
High exercise requirement; separation anxiety is common in the breed when owner interaction is insufficient
