We have a beautiful almost one year old female Golden that is available to be adopted.  She is already spayed.  She is from parents that have been genetically tested and cleared for hip and elbow dysplasia, eye cateracts, and heart murmurs.

She is a very healthy and loving Golden that has been owned by a family with several small children as well as older ones.  Because of the age and the vulnerability of the smaller childen this dog has become too good at stealing food from their hands, from the table, and then the counter.  She has mastered the art of food stealing to the point of opening up unopened packages with food in them. Fantastic nose!   She also chews on their toys. With all else that is going on in this lovely family's household, they feel they are unable to give her the extra time and training she needs to pull out of this behavior.  They love her very much, and say that otherwise she is a very good dog.  She is fully potty trained, accepts the doggie crate, and is trained well to an underground fence.   

We are thinking that she would be a good dog for anyone with time and willingness to watch her closely, get lessons on how to train her out of this, and carry it through.  These Goldens are very smart and will learn with the right time and training. She is definitely not too old to learn.  Because she takes advantage of small children with food or fun toys, I would not recommend a family with young children.  Maybe a single person, or a couple with older children or no children.  If grandchildren come to visit occassionally, she can handle being crated while they are visiting until her training is complete.

If you are interested in this female Golden, call or email me for further details as well as for pictures.  The price listed above is for puppies, not her.  Call or email me and we will discuss her price as well.
