Eden Kennels
Home of multi-purpose Golden Retriever's

   

Eden is a family home that is locally licensed as a sporting and breeding kennel of Golden Retrievers through the township of Powassan / Trout Creek and registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. We are located 1/2 hour south of North Bay Ontario on the Nipissing / Parry Sound district border.

We have been active in the Golden Retriever breed since 1998 when I decided it was time to follow a childhood dream and purchased Willow our very first Golden Retriever and registered purebred dog. Willow helped open the door to an amazing lifestyle and education. I am a member in good standing with The Canadian Kennel Club and The Golden Retriever Club of Canada. I am also very active in The Nipissing Kennel Club and have served for a number of years on the Board as Training Director.

As the Golden Retriever was originally bred to be a sporting dog, we strongly believe today's Goldens should still maintain this working ability. To ensure our lines retain the proper Golden Retriever characteristics I actively participate in Conformation, Obedience, Hunt Tests and Tracking with our dogs. Please be sure to check out our  BRAGS  page for results and stories about our various dog related activities. Here  I hope to show you how special our GOLDEN RETRIEVERS really are to us and I really hope you enjoy this page as much as I did reliving each moment while creating it. Other links are also posted for information on dog related issues and current events. An informed puppy buyer and dog owner is a dog breeders treasure! 

 


 

At Eden Kennels our puppies are very important to us. To ensure we are producing high-quality purebred Golden puppies we use carefully selected, physically and temperamentally sound parents, which are hip/eye/heart certified. We use carefully selected stud dogs of both American and English type which are known to us or come highly recommended from kennels whose opinion we value. Puppies will range in all shades of gold from light cream to dark gold.

Initially when our puppies are born they are raised in a quiet bedroom until their eyes and ears open. We then move the puppies to the kitchen so that they may fully experience the hustle and bustle of everyday family life and to build up their socialization skills. By six weeks of age we begin to introduce the puppies to a crate so that we may re-inforce their crate training as being a positive experience prior to going to their new homes. We take great pride in that all our Golden puppies are raised with attention to detail!

All our puppies are C.K.C registered on a non-breeding contract, micro-chipped, and Vet-examined with their first vaccinations and second de-worming. We provide a puppy package which includes: written health guarantee, 6 weeks of PetPlan puppy insurance up to $750.00 for emergency Vet care, copies of the parents clearances, 4 generation pedigree, puppy birth data sheet, feeding instructions, a copy of the C.K.C. Golden retriever breed standard, as well as health care and training information. To ensure the perfect puppy is matched to the right family our puppies are temperament tested at seven wks of age by an independent person in a place that is foreign to the puppy. We then go over this in detail with the new family and provide them with a copy.

As we strongly encourage any activities, which will promote the well being of purebred dogs, we insist on formal obedience training and also include applications forms to the Canadian Kennel Club and the Golden Retriever Club Of Canada

Continuing Education:


Although I have several years experience as Training Director and Obedience Instructor for the NKC I still enrol all my personal dogs in regular obedience and various other training classes from puppy to adult. For me learning about dogs is a lifetime commitment and such classes are an excellent opportunity to ensure the dogs are properly socialized on a regular basis.
We also continue to educate ourselves by regularly attending seminars on temperament, structure, health and training. These education seminars have included;

- "Born To Win, Breed To Succeed" presented by renown author Patricia Craige Trotter.

- The Iams Dog Breeder Symposium on: "Breeding Better Dogs" with guest speakers: Dr. Carmen Battaglia (Evaluating structure), Dr. Robert Van Hutchison (Canine reproduction), Dr. Martin Coffman DVM (Health/Genetics) and Mr. Stefan Massimino (Nutrition expert.)

- "The Breeders Secret Codebook" a multi-media seminar presented by Brian Beninger.

- "Introduction To Tracking Seminar" presented by Susan Coutts.

- "Introduction To Search And Rescue" presented by Kim Cooper, Search and Rescue Dog Handler.

- "Footwork and Handling Clinic" presented by Top Obedience handler Guy Touchette.

- "NKC Handling Seminar" with professional conformation handler Graeme Burdon
