Passion for Gold is a small, Home-Based Kennel, located in Clarksville, TN.
Since 1992, we have been involved in training, showing and breeding Golden Retrievers.
.
At first, our Passion was towards competing with them in Obedience Trials.
Heike's "Novice A Dog" Goldie, earned her UD at just 3 years old. As of today she has trained and shown 4 of our Goldens to the UD title.
Robert enjoys the Agility Competitions and has done very well with "Blitz", earning her MX, MXJ!
No doubt though, the beauty of CH Goldens performing in the breed ring, strengthened our Passion for Golden Retrievers. Heike is actively showing our Goldens in the breed ring and Owner-Handled Mister DJ to his Champion Title and CDX. Robert got him his OA,OAJ., so far...
We are active members of our local All-Breed club, the Clarksville Kennel Club.
Also member of the Golden Retriever Club of America.
At Passion For Gold, we average 1-2 litters per year. We only use parents with proper health clearances, great temperaments and that have proven them self in the "Dog Show World".
You will see that our breeding program includes a nice blend of titled dogs out of several competition fields. Creating beautiful puppies with the capabilities to perform.
Passion for Gold Puppies are strutting their stuff in obedience, agility, conformation and field events. But when not working, are loving family pets.
Not every puppy in a litter is destined to become a show dog. Many of them thrive on being the best companion a family could ask for.
Our Puppies are whelped and raised inside our home.
Aptitude testing and Conformation evaluation are done between 7-8 weeks of the puppy's life. At that time, a puppy is a mirror image of the adult dog they will grow into. They undergo the Aptitude/Temperament test to help us pick the right pup for the right family.
"When a family receives a puppy that fits perfectly into their life style, the puppy will live a happy life." This is most important to us.
Puppies will be Vet. checked, wormed and have their first shots before going to their new homes.
