FLODEN FARM FIELD GOLDEN RETRIEVERS
Golden retriever puppies for the field ready about June 1, 2018! Bella's pups have whelped April 5 & 6! - All pups reserved at this time, however let us know if you would like to be included on our wait list in case of a cancellation.
Note: We have a couple people with deposits who only want ichthyosis-clear pups. We'll know by about four to five weeks of age if those reservations pass on carriers and we again have pups available at that point. (Carriers can still be bred and are not affected by Ichthyosis; to avoid producing affected pups they are, however, to be bred to clear mates. Those with deposits on Clear-only may already have dogs as carriers they intend to breed to, so it is just not a good fit otherwise.)
7 boys, 5 girls

We anticipate pups to be intelligent, engaging with their owners, and good in the field with a lot of drive. Coloring will likely be medium to darker red.
We temperament test pups using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test to help new owners make an informed choice as to the best fit for their family, and pups are reared in our home with our family and children.
Puppies have arrived! Above is a female pup from the current Bella x Ike litter. Please visit "Bella Floden" on Facebook for more litter photos as they grow!
6 boys, 5 girls for 11 total.

Our female golden retriever, Bella, is OFA Good in hips, and passing for elbows, eyes and cardiac. She is clear for PRA-prcd, PRA1, PRA2, DM, and Ichthyosis. You can click on her name above for a a listing of all of her clearances.
Our pups come with
- 4-year health warranty for genetic defects
- first vaccinations
- microchipped
- ongoing training support
Please view our website for more information about our health warranty.
Please check our Upcoming Litters to bookmark that section for potential golden retriever litters.
If the timing of our litter if not the best for you, we highly recommend Jackie Mertens of Topbrass Goldens. We received a pup from her years ago that was trained to a master hunter (a full aunt to our Bella, dam of our current litter) and are very pleased with this breeder's knowledge and her experience. Her website is www.topbrass-retrievers.com
You can also call us to refer you to litters T-Rex or Scout may be siring as well at 218-458-2217.

Our philosophy is to keep an open mind ... Genetic testing and overall health is important while balancing genetic diversity within the golden retriever breed as more DNA tests to attain the 'perfect dog' are continually added. Knowledge is power, however we can grow along with diversity to work toward balanced results with health, temperament and trainability. It is important, too, to keep our golden retriever gene pool diverse while reducing genetic disorders. Keep in mind that in general, carriers, so long as not bred to other carriers or affecteds, will not produce a puppy affected with a certain disorder and can help expand the retriever gene pool while producing other clears in the same litter. Many other considerations such as trainability, temperament, conformation and how dogs compliment each other also go into the breeding process. If we only breed clear to clear, especially as new recessive mutations as discovered, our gene pool will be small and the chances of developing more mutations from higher COIs in the long run grows.
