2024 Fall/Winter Litter

Planned Litter UPDATE!

UPDATE FEBRUARY 2024. Piper just finished her heat cycle following her 2023 litter, which places her next heat cycle for breeding sometime in late July or August. 

Should the next breeding take, we anticipate the next litter of puppies to be available in November or December of 2024. This timeline may change. The heat comes when the heat comes!

We have already begun planning for the next litter and will be working once again with TalkAbout Retrievers and their handsome sire, Ledger, aka Master's Why So Serious. Ledger is the perfect blend you hope to find in a Golden, he is always ready to work yet has a gentle and affectionate temperament.

Puppies for our 2024 FALL/WINTER litter will be$3,000, AKC limited registration. Once we have approved your application, we will send you a puppy contract that outlines more details for the process of receiving one of our puppies.  Upon receipt of a signed contract, a $500 deposit will be required to hold your position.

Sire: Master's Why So Serious

AKC SR98771901

Ledger was born May 3, 2017 in Arizona. He came to TalkAbout Retrievers at 8 months old and quickly captured their hearts. He is easy going and gentle with children and the elderly, yet loves to perform and has a great field drive.  He is very birdy and watery and will never turn down the opportunity to go for a swim or get you play with him. His temperament is that great blend you hope to find when you are looking for a family dog that loves field work.

Ledger has a beautiful thick dark golden coat, deep chest and nice rear angles. He has a smooth topline, proper bite alignment and a very kind expression. He weighs around 70-75 lbs and stands approximately 24" tall.

Like Piper, Ledger scored Excellent on his OFA Hip tests and is clear of all common genetic issues that Goldens tend to have.

Dam: Piper Joy Davies

AKC SS08511505

Piper is the furry kid in our family. She was whelped in the rural hill country, just west of San Antonio, by a private family on November 8th, 2018. She has a playful, friendly personality and that well-known sweet "golden" temperament. Her coat is exceptionally soft with lovely rich dark golden tones. The only thing she loves more than cuddling is to trick you into playing ball with her. And with Piper, there is no bad time to play ball. Sun, rain, snow, and even in thunderstorms - she is always ready to give you the ball so you will throw it just one more time.

Piper is clear of all common genetic issues that Goldens tend to have and her results are publically available on the OFA website. She also received the rating of "Excellent" on her hips from the OFA. Only about 8% of all OFA hip x-rays on Golden Retrievers receive a score of excellent. 

HEALTH CLEARANCES

Our goal is to provide you with a healthy puppy that will be a blessing for your family for years to come. Below are the links for the OFA health clearances for both sire and dam.
