Welcome to Pine Trace Gold. 
Happy AKC goldens from our home to yours let us help you with a great new friend

we also offer stud service to help folks wishing to create
     their own wonderful pups with good genetics and  temperament

We breed for very versatile people oriented dogs. All pups are born in and reside in the house. As such they are well socialized to the cats as well as non mom adults (p.s. the cat is boss). Our pups are handed every day of their lives, not just a quick hug but exposed to a wide variety of early stimulation - tactile and auditory.  they get the inside of their mouths touched - a tickle in the ear - belly rubs - feet handled.  a radio turned to a talk or classical station is on nearby.  they will hear some firecrackers at a safe distance a few times to help alleviate fears from thunder or backfire later.  The cat likes to sleep and wrestle with pups also!

 Our dogs get to enjoy 70 fenced acres with ponds and creeks to play in when outside with us. The big guys are always up for a run in the woods with the 4 wheeler. we offer a 1 year life threatening congenital defects warranty on pups as we are confident in the quality of the breeding and anything serious should show up by then.

 Temperament needs to be first and foremost. however, what good is a gorgeous dog if it is poorly bred and may suffer from a plethora of health problems.. Conversely a dog should be pleasing to the eye as you have to live with him or her as a part of the family. Thus we strive to maintain a proper look without neglecting health concerns. As such all our breeding dogs and or their parents are OFA cleared for hip concerns, Orthopedic foundation for animals - exam by x-ray.  All are DNA checked heart, eyes. bleeding disorders and much more,   Good bites ( correct teeth placement ). Basically we try to ensure the parents are the best all round dogs to create the next generation for you.  .
