Our primary
goal at Dances With Dogs
Retrievers is to breed the best quality bloodline and temperament
and produce healthy,
happy, hand-raised
puppies, to breed the perfect companion, the perfect
addition to any family or working/service environment. Our
puppies are bred for wonderful dispositions and
temperaments to provide great companionship. Socialization
and attention at a young age is vital and we live by this
standard at Dances With Dogs Retrievers. You will not find
more loyal, affectionate, trustworthy companions.
In every litter, in
every breed, there are a multitude of personalities. Every
puppy displays certain personality traits from only a few
hours old. The general temperament of the Labrador
Retriever and the Golden Retriever is that of loyalty,
devotion, love and friendship. In each litter there is the
dog best acclimated to a family setting, and there are
those with more energy that are best suited for the hunting
companion, contrary to popular belief, not every retriever
is accepting to loud noises or likes to swim. Some dogs
enjoy the competition of Field Trial, Hunt Trial and Show
events, others do not like to travel. There are those
select few that are best suited for the service industry,
for police work or a companion for the disabled. We at
Dances With Dogs Retrievers select one puppy a year to be
donated to the service organization that the puppy is best
suited for. Because of our philosophy on whelping we know
each and every puppies strengths and which environment they
would be best suited for so we can assist in each
individual persons selection.
We strive to match each
puppy to the buyer, whether it is a family pet, show dog,
hunting dog or service dog. Not every puppy is suited to
any and all jobs; they have traits that make them better at
one thing or another. Our role in placement is to help
determine which puppy fits the needs of the buyer. We want
every placement to be the right fit, the best fit for the
dog and the new owner.
We are a
hands-on-kennel; each puppy is hand-raised until eight
weeks of age. During that time they are
introduced to a variety
of situations, other dogs, traveling and moving from place
to place, clapping, noises and swimming as well as being
socialized by our experienced trainers and breeders. When
our puppies go to their new home they are well on their way
to a happy, socialized start to the next key stage of their
long-term socialization skills formed between the ages of
8-weeks and 18-weeks.
The adult dogs that are raised at Dances
With Dogs Retrievers and Dances with Wolfhounds are all
part of the family, they each get in house time, fun time,
and retrieving time, toys and balls, and lots of praise and
attention.
Because of our deep love for each of our
puppies that we sell, we are extremely careful to make
certain that our puppies are placed in good homes.
Potential buyers must posses the knowledge, ability and
resources to provide a clean, safe, happy, healthy home for
their new family addition.
We also want to insure
that our dogs will be given plenty of training, playtime,
love and attention.
We do reserve the right to deny any potential buyer for any
reason.
After the puppy leaves our kennel and goes to its new home,
we are available for the life of the puppy for any advice
or questions that may arise. As well as in the event the
buyer can no longer keep the puppy due to a change of
living situation, a move or financial reasons, even after
growing into adulthood, we will take the dog and place it
in a good and loving home, for the life of the dog.
