Pine Grove Farm: Field Goldens from the Heartland

The Pine Grove Farm Commitment in Detail

Passionate About Goldens, Backed by Experts

• We've been captivated by the intelligence, loyalty, and companionship of Golden Retrievers for over 20 years.

• We are deeply connected with top Golden aficionados across the country.

• Our dog Teddi came from Jed Packer at Windmill Farms, a world-renowned Golden steward and trusted friend.

• We ensure we are constantly learning and growing, relying on local friends and experts willing to lend a hand.

Driven, Versatile, Always Golden

• Field & Sport: Our Goldens are natural athletes that excel in diverse activities, including upland and waterfowl hunting, dock diving, lure coursing, and Fast-CAT.

• Compassionate Companions: Their gentle nature shines through therapy work, visiting hospitals and nursing homes to comfort those in need.

• Health Transparency: We prioritize health with breed-specific clearances and genetic testing. Each dog earns a Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) number at two years old.

• Public Records: All test results are publicly available on the OFA website, and we provide access to all pedigrees through k9data.com.

From the Start: A Loving Foundation for Life

• Whelping Environment: Puppies are born and raised in the house, immediately welcomed by our hands and soothing voices. We monitor everything around the clock, staying close by in the whelping room.

• Early Training: Training starts early using Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), gentle handling, and positive human interaction to support their emotional development.

• Structured Development: After weaning, they move to our heated and air-conditioned dog room where we begin housebreaking and crate training.

• Exposure: They receive crucial exposure to new experiences, including bird wings, water, and outdoor activities, while observing the "big dogs" training to learn valuable skills for life.

Born into Our Family, Bound for Yours

• The PGF Switch: Our dogs embody the best of both worlds, transitioning seamlessly from focused hunters in the field to the perfect companions by the fire.

• Family First: All our dogs are cherished family members who thrive on companionship and enjoy quiet moments after a day of adventure.

• Commitment to Structure: We carefully preserve the ideal traits of the Field Golden Retriever, ensuring proper weight, proportion, and sound structure.

• Practical Traits: Our Goldens feature traits essential for both work and home, including easy burr shedding and a naturally waterproof coat.
