Eden Kennels Home to multi-purpose Golden Retriever's
Eden is a home-based, Canadian Kennel Club registered, Golden Retriever breeding and sporting kennel located 1/2 hour south of North Bay in the Nipissing/Parry Sound district. I have been active in this wonderful breed since 1998 and I am a member in good standing with The Canadian Kennel Club and The Golden Retriever Club of Canada for over 20+ years. I have also served for a number of years on the Board of The Nipissing Kennel Club 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. My husband actively participates in Belly Rubs, Spoiling and Naughty Habits with our dogs.
At Eden our purebred Golden Retrievers are bred towards the English Style using the genetic diversity of Canadian, United Kingdom and American lines. To ensure we are producing high-quality purebred puppies we use carefully selected, health tested, physically and temperamentally sound parents. Our main focus is on breeding sound, healthy Goldens so we do not purposely breed for any one specific colour. Our puppies can range in all the glorious shades of golden colour from a very, light cream to a rich, lusterous dark gold. We take great pride in that all our puppies are raised in our home with full attention to all the little details that are important to their physical and mental well-being. When our puppies are whelped they are raised in a quiet, comfortable spare bedroom so that I may sleep with them until their eyes are open and they are up walking on all 4 legs. We then move them right to the Kitchen so that they may fully experience the hustle and bustle of everyday family life. At this time puppy visitation will start in order to build up the puppies life skills and socialization skills. All our puppies are Canadian Kennel Club registered on a non-breeding contract, micro-chipped, and Vet-examined with their first vaccinations. We provide a puppy package which includes: a 2 year written health guarantee, 6 weeks of PetPlan puppy insurance up to $750.00 as well as feeding instructions, health care information and training information.
When raising our puppies we follow... The Rule of Sevens -- By the time a puppy is 7 weeks old, it should have: 1.

EDEN:any place of complete bliss, delight and peace Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring — it was peace. Milan Kundera
