Every Pairing Has a Purpose

Our breeding decisions begin long before a litter is born. Each pairing is planned with consideration for health, temperament, working ability, structure, pedigree, longevity, and versatility.

We look at the strengths and weaknesses of each individual dog, the dogs and generations behind them, and the qualities we hope to preserve or improve in the next generation.

Below, you can learn more about our current and planned breedings—including why we chose each pairing and what we hope to learn from it.

Cruz × Dorado

This pairing was thoughtfully planned to bring together retrieving instinct, temperament, versatility, structure, and pedigree diversity.

Cruz brings the biddability, athleticism, natural retrieving desire, and versatility we value in our Goldens. She enjoys working with her handler and has demonstrated her abilities across field, performance, and companion activities.

Dorado was imported from Argentina and was specifically selected for Cruz because of the qualities we believe he can contribute to this pairing. We particularly value his structure, coat, and pedigree, and his different ancestry gives us an opportunity to introduce greater pedigree diversity and reduce the expected coefficient of inbreeding (COI) in the resulting puppies.

Our goal with this breeding is to preserve Cruz's working desire and versatility while complementing her with Dorado's strengths in structure and coat and broadening the pedigree behind the next generation.

As these puppies mature, we will continue evaluating their health, temperament, structure, working ability, and overall quality to learn what this combination contributed and how it can inform our breeding decisions moving forward.
