English Golden Retriever Puppies

If you are willing to wait for one of our English Golden Retriever puppies (sometimes referred to as English Cream Golden Retriever puppies), we don’t think you will be disappointed. We appreciate and strive for beauty and good conformation. However, our primary goal as Golden Retriever breeders is producing the best of temperaments along with good health.

The parents of our Golden Retrievers have titles to prove their worth in both the conformation ring as well as the obedience ring. All breeding dogs have excellent health clearances including cardiac clearances with a cardiologist, yearly eye clearances, excellent elbows, and very tight hips that are either rated good or excellent. See the Our Dogs page for more information, pictures, and proofs of health testing.

Then, the icing on the Summer Brook cake is our Focused Puppy Training program. See the many videos linked below to truly appreciate it.

Current Litters

We don’t have anything currently born and available.

Future Litters

We plan on raising three litters fall/winter/spring 2022/2023. See more about the individual litters below.

Most likely, all of London’s puppies will go home with our 11 week program, all of Sydney’s will go home with our 11 week program, and most of Paisley’s will go home with our 11 week program. Depending on the size of the litters, after ultrasounds, we may offer a few of Paisley’s with our 8 weeks program. However, we are only currently accepting deposits from those wanting our 11 weeks program.

See our page on How Our Reservation List Works for more details.

If you are interested in one of our puppies, please read all of our page entitled Frequently Asked Questions including all the links that this page takes you too. After reading these pages, fill out our puppy questionnaire.

London/Jake

London has been bred to Jake. If all goes as planned, her due date will be November 22 and puppy pick up days at and just before 11 weeks of age will be around February 5th through the 7th.

Currently (as of September 29), all three male reservations for this litter are filled as well as two females. We have one position available for someone who wants a female.

If you are interested in a male with similar timing or if you are interested in a puppy a little later, see Paisley’s or Sydney’s litter below.

Paisley is also in season. Her puppies should be about a week behind London’s: born in late November and ready for new homes in mid February.

Currently (as of September 29), we have reserved the first two female position puppies as well as the first position male puppy. We have one female reservation available and two male reservations available.

Future Changes

We will possibly offer some of our puppies with our new 8 Week program. For more information on when this program might be offered see our How Our Reservation List Works page.

See our Expectations Page for more information on the training we provide our puppies. Scroll down to see videos of puppies being trained in our 11 Weeks Program. See our newest page entitled A Successful Start in Positive Reinforcement Puppy Training for information and videos of the training we provide between 6 and 8 weeks. This page contains five different videos of five different puppies. These videos give a pretty good picture as to what we train in our 8 Weeks Program and they also show how we train all of our puppies during these early training sessions.

Even if you are leaving your puppy to 11 weeks, these videos will give you some clarity as to how we train. Each video is a typical training session with a puppy that is around 7 weeks of age. Scroll down to see videos of puppies that are a little older to see what they can do.

Health Clearances

Our dogs have extremely good health clearances. We are especially proud of the fact that all of them have generations of really good hips and elbows. All of our girls have OFA excellent hips. The boys have hips that are on the high end of good.

Elbows on all our dogs are 0/0 which is the best possible score. All of our dogs have eyes that are cleared yearly.

We also do DNA testing. Details on each dog are on the individual dog’s pages which you can get to by clicking on the dog’s pictures above.

Our Requirements

We have more requirements than most. The biggest requirement that keeps us from being a match for most is that someone must have considerable time for the puppy. If everyone in the family works away from home full time, we wouldn’t be the breeder for you. Even if you work from home, you must have considerable time to devote to a puppy. Golden Retrievers thrive on human companionship and it is important to us that our puppies have the best possible life.

More Videos of Past English Cream Golden Retriever Puppies

The video below demonstrates the training of each of the seven puppies in a past Piper litter. We accelerated the training for the seven puppies in the video . This degree of training is exceptional. However, it is not our norm for puppies at barely 9 weeks of age. This video exemplifies the training at 10-11 weeks of age.

If Interested in a Future Summer Brook Golden Retriever Puppy

If you are interested in a puppy from Summer Brook, see our How to Reserve a Puppy page, as well as our FAQ pages for more information. Also, see our page on How Our List Works for more information on how our waiting list works. If not interested in a Summer Brook puppy, you might enjoy our page on English Golden Retriever Breeders for some interesting information on choosing another breeder.

Puppy Questionnaire

It has recently come to our attention that at least one person has sent us a questionnaire that we did not receive. We are always prompt to email people that send us questionnaires to let them know that we have received them. It is extremely rare that you won’t get some kind of response from us within 24 hours.

Therefore, please check with us if you don’t receive a response from us as this likely is an indication that your questionnaire didn’t go through.

How We Raise Our English Golden Retriever Puppies

We raise our puppies inside our home with a very well thought out plan. Our plan builds on the genetics that our puppies are born with. We’ve planned and scheduled every detail at every age. See our How We Raise Our Puppies page for more details.

Training Program

See our Focused Puppies Training Program for the details. You must see the videos to appreciate what we do with these very young puppies. Our training goals go beyond training behaviors. We train puppies to WANT to engage and work with a person. Therefore, training focus and a good work ethic is first.

For the past two years, over 90% of families getting puppies from us have chosen to get our training program. Many of these initially planned on picking up their puppy at 7 1/2 weeks and then decided to leave their puppy for the training after looking more into it. For this reason and more importantly because we believe it is in every puppy’s best interest to stay with us until at least 10 weeks, all Summer Brook English English Cream Golden Retriever puppies starting with our fall 2020 litters will leave us with a start in training. Families love our program and so do our puppies.

For more information, see first of all our Raising Puppies, Trained Puppies, and Trained Puppies Expectations pages for how we raise and train our puppies. Then, go to our About Us page which gives information on our family and who will be working with the puppies. Also see our After Puppy Pick Up page for additional videos and how to continue the training that we start.

Our Trainer’s Accomplishments

Karen (Darrell’s wife and the primary trainer at Summer Brook) is a very competitive trainer in the AKC obedience ring. She has put a UD on three dogs and went on to complete a UDX and even completed the very challenging and advanced title: OTCH (Obedience Trial Champion) on our Tara. In addition, Karen has completed two RACH titles (Rally Obedience Champion) as well as numerous CD’s, CDX’s, HIT’s (High in Trial) and Combined HIT’s on many different dogs.

Our Training Page

We discuss more about Karen’s accomplishments and skill on our training page. There is also a link to a video of her at an AKC obedience trial in the Open obedience ring as well as the Utility Obedience Ring. These videos demonstrate Karen and our now retired Jack doing the most advanced AKC obedience exercises.
