All dogs enjoy indoors and outdoors time. Outdoor time is split between a grassy, walled backyard and in a large 15 x 42 foot chain link kennel. All outdoor areas have plenty of shade and cooling mist systems. The kennels are great for separating dogs during breeding and rest areas when it become necessary to work with dogs individually (grooming, training, etc.). The kennels are also useful for housing goldens in order for mommy and puppies to enjoy privacy during outdoor jaunts. Each golden is exercised daily. We provide toys and lots of company for entertainment and water tubs and a pool for recreation and cooling. Our special whelping room is located inside the house. It is clean, temperature controlled, and consists of a whelping box with pig rail for puppies' safety, and all the necessary whelping supplies including a scale for the daily weighing of puppies. The puppies are kept inside until 6 weeks of age and then allowed outside forays for play in the puppy area. They are allowed to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age.
