Like Father Like Son

Wow - what a GORGEOUS boy Mr. Blue has grown into! This is Jackson, fresh and clean after his bath. He is a Moses/Tessa boy and aside from having Moses' beautiful head, he also got his Daddy's silly personality (his owner regales me with humorous stories of Jack's escapades - he is a clown to the core!).

Because I spend a ridiculous amount of time looking at puppy pictures, I might as well share Brix too! He is from a different Moses/Tessa litter and he is truly a blend of the two - another beautiful "Momossa" boy...

BREEDING PHILOSOPHY

All our puppies are of the highest quality with champion bloodlines. They are sold with AKC registration (limited) and are raised in our home and socialized with tender loving care. They are available to their new families 8 weeks after they are whelped. We believe it is critical for new puppies to be surrounded by their siblings, mother, other dogs and our family until they are 8 weeks of age. We do not push them out the door earlier as we feel this is a very important time for development and that it is not in the puppy's best interest to leave earlier than that.

At Nicholberry Goldens, we care deeply for our dogs and their puppies. We make sure each puppy is touched and petted from the very first day. After a couple of days, we handle each puppy a little bit more as this gets them used to being handled and starts their socialization with people. This also helps them adjust and bond to their new owners much more easily. As they get older, we continue our one on one time and also increase our time playing with the whole litter. We also socialize them with our other dogs, an important part of becoming a well-adjusted puppy. All puppies are weaned from their mother completely by 6 weeks, at which time they also go for their first vet visit and appropriate shots. When the puppies go to their new home at 8 weeks, they are current on their shots and de-wormings.
