We have some exciting breeding coming up that we expect to produce good-looking goldens that live to work. There are performance reservations available for two of 2009 litters: Risk and Skye's. There are also pups available from very nice litters sired by our boys.
Typically, we have two to four litters a year, some co-bred with Gaylan's owners and some bred here. Our own litters are whelped and raised here at Gaylan's. Co-bred litters usually begin their lives with their dam's owner being raised according to our standards. The litter and dam come here at around 6 1/2 weeks of age. They will spend 2-3 weeks with us, walking in our woods, swimming in our creek, meeting lots of people and getting to know their relatives. We'll spend that time getting to know them so we can match them well with their new owners. We are thrilled to partner with our co-breeders on these litters.
Before contacting us about a puppy, please read the following portions of our website to be sure that we and our dogs are right for you:
- About Us
- Our Breeding Philosophy
- How We Raise Our Puppies
- Expectations: Yours and Ours
- Gaylan's Contracts and
Warranty
- BioSensor exercises from 3-17 days of age
- regular socialization with people of all ages and sizes
- a physically and mentally stimulating environment appropriate to their age
- problem solving exercises, again, appropriate to their age
- socialization with dogs other than their dam
- introduction to solid food after 5 weeks of age followed by natural weaning, often not until 8 or 9 weeks
- daily walks in the woods (weather dependent)
- regular opportunities to swim (weather dependent)
- introduction to game birds
- For more about how we raise our pups, check out How We Raise Our Puppies.
A few pups in each litter will go to pet homes but we usually have standing reservation lists years in advance for pet puppies. If you are willing to wait a while for a pup, drop us a note now. We will post a notice on this page if we have pet puppies available. We cannot answer all of the e-mails that we get regarding pet puppies so please just check back here to see if we have pets available.
In the meantime, to find a quality puppy, contact your local golden retriever club or rescue. Club and rescue listings can be found on the Golden Retriever Club of America website at http://www.grca.org, click on either the Puppy Referral or Rescue link. If you are looking for a loving family companion, please consider a rescue dog!

I've started the blog for Risk's litter. Follow it at gaylansgoldens.blogspot.com.
Risk has been bred and her litter is due in early July. We are very proud of this lovely young bitch. Before 18 months of age, she earned her SH in four straight tests, her first Master leg the day after she finished Senior, her WC and WCX the same day and then went on to earn a Judges Award of Merit in the Derby Stake at the GR National Specialty.
Before she turned 3, she finished her MH and qualified for the 2008 Master National. Most recently, she WON the 64-dog Qualifying Stake at the Golden Retriever National, the first Qual she has run. From start to finish, she has earned all of her hunt test titles with only one failure. This young girl is a dog to watch.
We have selected 7-year old Push as the sire of her first litter. Push is the only living Dual Champion in North America. He sired our Derby litter, which includes MACH JH, UDX TD AX AXJ, and MH WCX titled dogs. Clearly, Push is producing pups that are achieving in all areas. You can read more about Push on the Ambertrail website.
Risk is much like her dam, Una--high-drive, high-intensity who lives to work. At the same time, she is very sweet and biddable. She loves to cuddle and loves to retrieve birds, our idea of the perfect golden.
She has a stable temperament, unphased by whatever life throws at her, getting along with dogs and people of all sizes and shapes, and handling the rigors of upper level field training with aplomb. She is lovely to look at too, with a wonderful head, correct coat, moderate bone and correct structure. She maintains excellent muscle tone and moves like the graceful, athletic animal she is.
Her littermates include:
- Gaylan's High Roller Can. MH TD Am-Can WCX (Canadian Master National Qualifier)
- Gaylan's Royal Flush MH WCX** (Derby JAM)
- Gaylan's Bet On It At Terrevern AX AXJ OF
- Gaylan's Ace in the Hole OA OAJ OF RA CCA
This litter will be raised and placed here at Gaylan's using our puppy raising system.
There are performance reservations available for this litter. If you are interested in a Push x Risk puppy, contact Gayle at gaylans@optonline.net.
Fall/Winter 2009
Dam: Gaylan's Winning Colors MH WCX OFA Good hips (90th percentile PennHIP), Normal elbows, eyes, heart and thyroid
Sire: TBD
Skye will also be bred for the first time in 2009. She is a talented young dog who finished her Senior Hunter title in four straight tests. She finished her Master Hunter title at the 2008 Golden Retriever National Specialty and earned her WCX on her first attempt with her co-owner Charlie handling her in his first ever dog event. Sired by the Canadian Dual Champion AFTCH Firemark's Push Come to Shove out of one of our fine multi-purpose dams, Gaylan's Into the Wind CDX AX MXJ WC OD, Skye shows talent in many areas. After her field career, we'll be running her in agility and maybe dabbling in obedience.
We have not selected a sire for this litter but will post it as soon as we have.
Like her cousin Risk, Skye is a high-drive, high-intensity girl who lives to work. She is sweet, loving and biddable, working well for a number of handlers and adapting well to many living situations. Clearly, she has a stable temperament.
Skye is nicely built with a nice front assembly, powerful rear, nice prosternum and forechest, excellent spring of rib and a solid topline. She has light-moderate bone with correct feet. Her coat is medium gold with a correct texture, density and length. She has lovely dark eyes and a pleasant head although I'd like to see more breadth of skull and muzzle.
Her littermates include:
- MACH Gaylan's Gallopin' Jet Pilot MF JH EAC EJC ECC WV-E TG-E TN-E NADAC Elite Versatility Award
- Gaylan's Lady Omar Khayyam VCD2 UDT RAE3 AX AXJ XF
- Gaylan's Dark Star's Ryder CD CGC
- Gaylan's Behave Yourself RL1
There are performance reservations available for this litter. If you are interested in a Skye puppy, contact Gayle at gaylans@optonline.net.
