We picked up one of the Generation P puppies born 2/5/25 last week. You can tell Daniel Stoltzfus takes pride in his puppies and adult dogs. The puppies have very nice temperments, so does their mom. I would recommend these puppies to any potential buyer. I am very excited to watch my puppy grow and mature into a future therapy dog and would definitely consider Daniel Stoltzfus the next time I am looking for a 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
