At Promise Land, reservations for our high-quality puppies are filled strictly in the order in which we receive them, ensuring a fair and transparent process. From birth, each puppy is assigned a distinct colored collar, allowing us to closely monitor and document their unique personalities as they develop. While we welcome and consider your preferences for a specific puppy, the final decision rests with us to match each puppy with the family best suited to their temperament and needs. This thoughtful approach helps guarantee that every dog finds a loving home where they can thrive, reflecting our commitment to responsible breeding and long-term well-being.

At Promise Land, the timing for picking up your puppy depends primarily on the breed and the puppy’s readiness, particularly their weight and overall health. We ensure each puppy is fully prepared for transition; typically, larger breeds like Golden Retrievers may be ready earlier, while smaller breeds might require a longer holding period to ensure they are robust and well-developed before leaving our care. This careful approach guarantees that every puppy meets our high standards and is healthy for their new home. We also highly recommend that when you bring your puppy home, the environment remains calm and stable. The first few days should be relaxed with minimal chaos and a consistent routine. This helps your puppy adjust smoothly to their new surroundings, reducing stress and supporting their emotional and physical well-being. Establishing a peaceful atmosphere and schedule right away lays the foundation for a happy and confident companion.

At Promise Land, we recognize that the first three weeks in a puppy’s life are crucial for establishing a strong foundation of trust and positive behavior. During this period, each puppy is held frequently, loved, kissed, and gently touched to foster secure social bonds. We incorporate Early Neurological Stimulation and Touch Desensitization techniques, which are proven methods to enhance neurological development and build resilience to future handling experiencesOur well-maintained, fully heated and A/C indoor facility provides a safe and comfortable environment that supports the puppies’ physical health and emotional well-being. This comprehensive approach ensures that our Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles, and Boston Terriers mature into well-adjusted, confident companions. At Promise Land, we prioritize early socialization as a critical part of our puppy care program. From a young age, our puppies are gradually introduced to a variety of common life experiences to help them become well-adjusted adult dogs. This includes exposure to different footing surfaces to minimize fear and build confidence, interaction with stimulating elements such as slides, and the incorporation of noise desensitization using vacuum and household sounds into their daily environment. All these are woven into their daily lives here, giving them numerous opportunities to learn the art of encounter and adjustment, and to ingrain in them the confidence that something or someone new is not meant to be a source of fear, but of delight.We use the rules of seven.. The Rule of 7 was adapted from Dr. Carmen Battaglia’s guide for increasing puppy’s exposure. Make sure your puppy is current on all shots before taking them out into a strange area. The Rule's of 7 in Puppy SocializationBeen on 7 different types of surfaces: carpet, tile, linoleum, concrete, wood, vinyl, grass, dirt, gravel, and wood chips.Played with 7 different types of objects: rope toys, plush toys, big balls, small balls, soft fabric toys, squeaky toys, paper or cardboard items, metal items, and sticks.Been in 7 different locations: front & back yard, basement, kitchen, car, garage, laundry room, bathroom, kids room, living room, hallway, Vet’s office, groomers.Met and played with 7 new people: include children and older adults, someone walking with a cane or in a wheelchair or walker, someone tall, someone in a hat.Been exposed to 7 challenges: climb on a box, go through a tunnel, climb steps, go down steps, climb over obstacles, play hide and seek, go in and out of a doorway with a step up or down, run around a fence.Eaten from 7 different containers: metal, plastic, cardboard, paper, human hands, pie plate, tin pan, frying pan, Frisbee, elevated bowl.Eaten in 7 different locations: crate, yard, exercise pen, basement, laundry room, living room, bathroom, back yard.Each new, positive experience will help your puppy flourish into a confident companion. Allow your puppy to learn passively by letting them to explore on their own, but make sure they are 100% supervised and that it is a controlled environment. Do not use any harsh training methods with a puppy, because you will break the bond of trust. Training should be fair and fun. We start feeding puppies in crates at 7 weeks. They learn a dog door around 4 weeks. We have a small trampoline to teach footing. It helps with car rides and being on boats. We think all puppies should go through the “Rule of Seven" socialization process. The rule of 7 is a trick we learned to help introduce our golden retriever puppies to new environments and get them used to many different things they may encounter in their lives. Rule of seven introduces the pups to small stresses that will help boost confidence, social behavior, and their trainability.Puppies are washed on a regualr basis to include body handling protocol, including sitting still for grooming, cleaning ears, bathing and trimming nails

What I have learned over the years.​Over the years, I've learned a lot from conducting X-rays on dogs of various ages, particularly focusing on those that have been on NuJoint compared to that haven't. I've observed that dogs on the supplement tend to have healthier and tighter hips throughout their lives. For instance, our 14-year-old dogs can still navigate stairs effortlessly and run around the yard.Introducing NuVet Joint for your dogs at just 8 weeks old is a proactive choice for their health. ​NuJoint Plus is enriched with Vitamin C, which plays a vital role in ensuring ligaments and tendons remain pliable. If a puppy's long bones grow too quickly, it can create tension on the hip joint and it is like a rope pulling the hip out of socket, potentially leading to lameness. Tight ligaments can cause long-term damage to developing joints, increasing the risk of conditions like hip dysplasia later in life. For older, maintaining pliability in ligaments and tendons is essential for preventing stiffness and promoting movement.​NuJoint Plus is packed with MSM, which helps eliminate harmful free radicals In simple terms, if a puppy has an injury, this supplement can prevent arthritis from developing by reducing joint inflammation and protecting cartilage. For older dogs, it works to keep arthritis at bay helping them stay active and comfortable in their golden years.​NuJoint Plus is formulated with Glucosamine, an essential ingredient that supports animals in synthesizing new cartilage, especially in cases of wear and tear. This powerful supplement not only aids in the regeneration of cartilage but also helps prevent its breakdown, ensuring your furry friends maintain their comfort as they get older. Keep your pets active and healthy with NuJoint Plus!​NuJoint Plus is formulated with Chondroitin, which plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining fluid in cartilage tissue. This helps to lubricate joints and enhance mobility, making it an excellent choice for maintaining joint health.For our older dogs, we transition NuJoint DS when they reach 8 years of age, ensuring they receive the support they need as they age. Keep your friends active and comfortable with the right care!​​​It’s essential to start your puppy on the right path to ensure healthy joints and overall well-being. By prioritizing joint health early on, you can help your dog enjoy a longer, more active life filled with play and joy.

How we screen our parent dogs. Each bred has slightly different testing. This is due to each breed has their own health issues.Testing on a parent dog is specialized to that particular breeds problems. HipsPennhip ( Most accurate in the world for testing hips on dogs) Preformed by a specially trained veterinarian. A series of films with and without pressure on hips. Controlled dog must be microchipped and sedated when exam preformed. It is a measurement. It looks at the ligament strength plus for other abnormalities Osteo Arthritis, Femur head remolding, Hip dysplasia, Shallow Acetabula's, extra.Can be done as early as 16 weeks. Very seldom does the results change unless something has happen to the dog. Like the dog became obese. OFA Hips is for the benefit of customers this test is not as detail or accurate.This is a one X-ray view. Anyone in a vets office can perform that is trained. The dog doesn't need to be sedated or microchipped. Positioning depends on vet techs training. Three radiologist look at the film. The two that agree is what the hips are called. They say not accurate to two years of age. OFA Elbows fairly accurate. However if there is an abnormal reading a dog is done under 3D Cat Scan to get a better view and see if the OFA reading is accurate. OFA does make mistakes. OFA Hearts are checked by our cardiologist on all dogs for abnormalities. OFA Eyes are checked by our ophthalmologist . However since the breeds are run for genetic eye diseases. This enables us to avoid breeding abnormalities into the eyes of dogs. So eliminates most major eye problems.OFA Dentition helps keep the bites of our dogs in line. OFA Patellas are done to make sure they are not loose and connected by the ligament in the correct position.Goldens get OFA Thyroids due to they can have problems in the breed.French Bulldogs we check their airways with xray to make sure parents don't have a narrow trachea. This is to try and avoid narrow airways in offspring. We also check the soft palates on our French Bulldogs to make sure they are not over lapping the  trachea causing the dog a breathing problem. Genetics the breed specific traits are run for each breeds problems. As well as the non specific general health conditions on the parents.

Hip Dysplasia is a combination of problems which we try to educate our buyers to reduce the chance of your dog ever having it. ​ *Genetics (Make sure parents of your puppy have had some form of clearances in there life time.) *Removing hormones to early. Goldens should not be neutered or spayed until 16 months of age when finished growing. Smaller dogs such as Cavalier King Charles can be neutered or spayed early. They complete growth by 11 months of age. *A poor diet and lack of Vitamin C ( Help lubricate the tendons and muscles making them more elastic helps joints from pulling out place. *Keep your puppy a little lean while it is growing—overfeeding causes rapid growth which is a major contributor to hip dysplasia. *Exercise your dog regularly to strengthen the muscles that hold the hip joint in place. Don't however do extreme excercise (The stresses and strains placed on the vulnerable growing joint by extreme exercise are believed to be a contributory environmental factor in the development of inadequate hip joints) The puppies growth plates can also fragment pieces and this in turn casues arthritic conditions as they get older in their joints. *Don’t let them get overweight (at any age)!! This places stress on the joint and contributes to the dislocation of the joint and accelerates arthritis formation.Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for all dogs bred by Promise Land, including our Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Boston Terriers. Overweight dogs face significant health risks because their bone structure and ligaments are not designed to support excess weight. For small dogs, carrying an extra 20 pounds is comparable to a human being 160 pounds overweight, placing extreme strain on their joints and increasing the risk of arthritis, mobility issues, and decreased lifespan. In large dogs, an additional 20 pounds equates to about 130 pounds of extra weight for a human, which similarly stresses their skeletal system and can lead to serious orthopedic problems. At Promise Land, we emphasize responsible breeding alongside guidance on proper nutrition and exercise to ensure your puppy grows into a healthy, strong adult dog, capable of an active, happy life free from the detrimental effects of obesity.Help Prevent Hip Problems​Even with the highest quality dog, with all of the clearances and a dysplastic-free family tree, a dog that is not maintained with proper nutrition and exercise can still develop hip dysplasia in their later years. It’s important to remember that the sex hormones do play a synergistic role in your dog’s growth and development and their removal will create imbalance in the body. We support spaying and neutering that are not part of a breeding program at the appropriate time. The top dog was purchased and received at 1 year of age for breeding purposes. He was never used in the Promise Land breeding program. These films were taken when the dog was 1 year of age. Which clearly shows genetic vs a developed condition. To help others recognize health issues in dog's. This dog had Moderate Hip Dysplsia, Moderate OA, Subluxation and Shallow Acetabula's. The Elbows showed Grade 3 Elbow Dyplsia and DJD at 1 year of age.​The bottom dog has Excellent Hips and Elbows and is in the top 5% of breeding Golden Retrievers. He is one of our Male breeding dogs (Dakota). The top films are to help show others a genetic condition with Golden's. When you evaluate a film to help decide wether the condition is genetic or caused by environmental problems. You look at both hips or elbows. A injury would develop on one side of the body not in both elbows or hips. Unfortunately if the dog is to old we can't identify abnormal wear and tear from over running vs genetic. This is one of the reasons Promise Land does prelims. We don't just x-ray at 2 years old for OFA. You need the entire picture of development of the breeding dog. We were taught this by an orthopedic surgeon for dogs.

When picking up your puppy from Promise Land, we recommend bringing a travel crate or arranging for someone to securely hold the puppy during transport to ensure their safety and comfort. Additionally, bring a large bath towel to provide warmth and cushioning. It’s important to prepare for any unforeseen accidents by having paper towels and garbage bags on hand to manage messes easily. Lastly, bring water and a water dish to keep your new puppy hydrated, especially during the trip home. These preparations help ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for your puppy into their new environment.

At Promise Land, we are deeply committed to the lifelong well-being of every puppy we place, including Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles, and Boston Terriers. If, for any reason such as a move, financial difficulties, or other circumstances, you find yourself unable to care for your dog, it is our policy that you must give us the opportunity to rehome the dog in a loving, quality home. We do this to ensure that no dog sold by Promise Land is ever sent to an animal shelter or placed in an unsuitable environment. Our priority is that every dog enjoys a safe, caring home throughout its entire life.
