Experience in the area
Through my volunteer work with a large dog guide school, I know a little about all the breeds they use including Goldens. I have extensive experience with the closely related Labs. The service dog schools have acquired a wealth of knowledge about raising well behaved, healthy dogs with long, active lives. They do not share it with the general public, but pass on the best of it to those like me that raise puppies for them. I am part of a group that has raised dogs for 6 different service dog schools. We meet monthly for training and share information.

2011-09-23 FEEDING:
If it was eating a commercial puppy chow such as Pedigree, I would continue it. If not, see if you can find the Pedigree and start replacing what it is eating with the Pedigree until after a week or more
2011-08-24 2 5 mo.old golden puppies--help!:
