     Treasured Golden
American Golden Retrievers

since 1998

 

 

 


 

Located in Charlotte, North Carolina Treasured Golden - American Golden Retrievers was founded in 1998. Breeding Golden Retriever puppies  for over 10 years we understand the need for testing all our dogs for hips, elbows, heart and eyes.  We are proud members of the Golden Retriever Club of America. 

 

We only breed cleared dogs and select only the dogs with friendly, fun loving temperaments to produce our healthy happy puppies. To do this we have decided to keep our kennel small.  This allows us to raise all our dogs in our home and to truly know what type of temperament each puppy has.   This also allows us to evaluate each puppy for a particular family type (level of activity and what not).


Our priority is to breed only the best and to produce sound minds and bodies. Our dogs are not only house pets but are also our best friends and we consider them family. We have their hips and elbows cleared by OFA eyes and heart are also checked and registered.  All of our dogs are raised on AAnco/Orijen dog food as we feel this is the best available food for the Treasured Golden family.  You may find this food a little more pricey but the old saying "you get what you pay for" is very true.  AAnco/Orijen does not seem to waste a lot of money on advertising only to lack quality in the food itself  (please do your research on dog foods and find your own truth).  We also use a vitamin offered by NuVet labs anyone can purchase this product by calling 800-474-7044 or using my code 94723 orhttp://www.nuvet.com/94723 

 

 

 

 
 
 
History of the Golden Retriever the American love!
 
In the early 1800s game was plentiful in England and Scotland, and hunting was both a sport and a practical way of obtaining food. Retrievers came into prominence because of the desire for a medium-sized dog that would do well in wild-fowling, both waterfowl and upland game. During the 19th century, gamekeepers at the Guisachan estate of Lord Tweedmouth at Inverness-Shire, Scotland, kept records of the development of the Golden.

Lord Tweedmouth bought his first Yellow Retriever in the mid-19th century. The location of Tweedmouth's estate on the Tweed River had a direct bearing on the program pursued by the Lord to produce the characteristics he desired in his Yellow Retrievers. Along the shores of this river was the light-colored Tweed Water Spaniel, the hardy type of spaniel used for retrieving and known for their intelligence, courage and ability. The Tweed Water Spaniel had tremendous influence on Tweedmouth's developing breed, as he bred his original stud "Nous" to "Belle," a Tweed Water Spaniel, to produce four yellow puppies. Later on down the line, cross-breedings integrated Irish Setter, Bloodhound, and more Tweed Water Spaniel to obtain the Golden Retriever we recognize today.

Yellow or Golden Retrievers became popular in England toward the end of the 19th century, and they were first shown in England (listed as Golden Flat-Coats) in 1908. In 1913 they obtained separate status when the Golden Retriever Club (of England) formed, and the breed arrived in North America in the 1920s. The first Golden was registered by the AKC in 1925, and the breed flourished in the 1930s and '40s. Used predominantly as hunters, Goldens proved strong in the show ring also, although unlike today, the darker gold colors were initially favored over the light. Over the years, the Golden Retriever has grown to become one of the most successful, recognizable, and popular breeds in history in all areas.
