Garrett County Goldens is where love for Golden Retrievers transforms into a commitment to providing exceptional puppies for families across the country. Founded by Ben and Joanna Peight, our small, family-run breeding operation is dedicated to nurturing Golden Retrievers with the utmost care and attention. Nestled on a picturesque farm in Swanton, Maryland, our mission is to breed happy, healthy puppies that will bring joy and companionship to their new families.
The Story Behind Garrett County Goldens
Our journey began with a deep-seated passion for Golden Retrievers. Ben and Joanna Peight, the founders of Garrett County Goldens, have always admired the breed for its friendly temperament, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty. Our love for Golden Retrievers inspired us to share these wonderful dogs with others, and thus Garrett County Goldens was born.
Our farm in Swanton, Maryland, provides the perfect backdrop for raising Golden Retrievers. The serene environment, coupled with ample space for play and exploration, ensures that our puppies grow up in a stimulating and nurturing environment. This setting allows us to focus on what matters most—providing each puppy with the best start in life.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Garrett County Goldens, our commitment to quality begins with the careful selection of our breeding dogs. We prioritize health, temperament, and genetics to ensure that our puppies inherit the best traits of the Golden Retriever breed. Each dog in our breeding program undergoes rigorous health testing and screening to confirm that it meets our high standards. This dedication to quality ensures that our puppies are not only beautiful but also possess the friendly, outgoing personalities that Golden Retrievers are known for.
Our breeding process is designed to produce well-rounded puppies that are ready to become loving companions. We believe in raising puppies in a family-oriented environment, where they receive daily socialization and interaction with our children and other pets. This approach helps our puppies develop into confident, well-adjusted dogs that adapt seamlessly to their new homes.
The Golden Retriever Breed
Golden Retrievers are renowned for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and versatility. They are medium-sized dogs with a sturdy build and a dense, golden coat that gives them their iconic appearance. Originally bred for retrieving game, Golden Retrievers are natural athletes with boundless energy and a love for outdoor activities.
Their friendly and outgoing personalities make them excellent family pets. Golden Retrievers are known for their patience with children and their ability to get along well with other animals. Their intelligence and eagerness to please also make them highly trainable, whether they are serving as guide dogs, therapy dogs, or participating in search-and-rescue missions.
At Garrett County Goldens, we specialize in both Standard and English Cream Golden Retrievers. Each variety has its own unique characteristics but shares the same fundamental traits of loyalty and affection. Our English Cream Golden Retrievers are known for their striking, light-colored coats and their calm, gentle demeanor, while our Standard Golden Retrievers are admired for their rich golden coats and energetic, playful nature.
Raising Golden Puppies
From the moment our puppies are born, they are raised with love and care. Our farm provides a safe and stimulating environment where puppies can explore, play, and interact with their surroundings. They receive daily attention from our family, which helps them develop into well-socialized and affectionate companions.
We start socializing our puppies from a young age, exposing them to various stimuli and experiences that help them become well-adjusted dogs. They play with our children and other pets, which helps them learn how to interact positively with people and animals. This early socialization is crucial for ensuring that our puppies grow up to be confident and adaptable.
Our commitment to their well-being extends beyond their early weeks. We provide our puppies with all necessary vaccinations and a thorough veterinary check before they leave for their new homes. Each puppy also comes with a one-year genetic Health Guarantee, giving our clients peace of mind knowing their new furry friend has received the best possible start in life.
