Hunter's Goldstrike - Golden Retrievers

Our professional breeding program consists of twenty eight years of intensive work to provide top quality puppies to our clients. Every dog in our breeding program is a dog that doesn’t have hip dysplasia, heart defects, skin problems, or serious behavioral problems. We put our dogs through clearances for heart, hips and eyes and we are adding elbows, thyroid and other tests to provide even better quality of pups. All our Dogs are cleared for eyes (CERF), heart (SAS), and hips (OAF or Penn Hip) before breeding them and this is what we base our guarantee on. These puppies are beautiful, healthy and mellow tempered ( not to be confused with a new puppy behavior).

They are all registered with the American Kennel Club and in most cases they are registered with the United Kennel Club and paperwork is always provided on all the dogs on the breeding background. Pheasant or quail wings are introduced at an early age. We have them vet checked at three days of age and also have their dew claws removed. They are vaccinated at 6 to 7 weeks of age and again at 9 or 10 weeks of age if needed before placing them. We are extremely proud of the puppies that we produce.

They are whelped and kept in special areas to provide them with the best start in life. Puppies are socialized and given individual attention to ensure that they will make a wonderful new family member. We do not allow individuals to come in and handle the puppies until they several weeks of age. This is for disease control purposes. Our careful protection of the puppies guarantees that you will have an incredibly healthy puppy when you take them home.

We provide support and recommend training to all individuals and families purchasing a puppy to help them in the transition as they bring the new puppy into the home. Obedience training is very important! You will like your puppy better if it is obedient! In addition, we offer ongoing support for the lifetime of the puppy/dog with regard to behavioral problems and general consultation. We encourage you to contact us with any health issues as this will provide us with future decisions in our breeding program.

Puppies are available on a regular basis and are sold on deposit unless pups are old enough to take home. We encourage our clients to visit our kennels and see the condition of it and meet our dogs!


Deposits are required to hold a pick in a certain litter for a particular sex. $300 will reserve your puppy! Most of my pups are reserved before they are born. I try to place a hunt test dog first if the occasion arises as we like to encourage our dogs in this area! I will take six deposits on each litter , three of each sex. Under some circumstances I will take more. At 6 weeks of age we will make the picks in order of the deposits because at 6 weeks we can microchip them. Besides at this age you can really see their personalities more. If for some reason there is not a puppy available for your particular sex or litter requested, then you have the option to go to another litter or take the opposite sex if available. I do not bump you into the next litter above those who have already made a deposit and chose a particular litter. All pups are sold on Limited registration for $1700 (see below for more information on what Limited Registration means) however Full registration can be purchased for an additional $500 to the prices below on each litter. You can also check back to see what is available once the litter is born and reserve a pup at that time because in most cases there are more than the 6 pups. Please email me at laheldt@hotmail.com first to discuss what is available before sending a deposit! For Deposits send Cashier checks or money orders to: Lee Ann Heldt or Hunter's Goldstrike Mail to: 33681 County Road 13 Windsor, CO 80550 Cell 970-231-6657 Please fill out the puppy questionnaire. This helps me to know more about you. You can scan it and email it to me or copy and paste it into an email or mail it to me with your deposit. Puppies can no longer be shipped by United Pet cargo. If you are out of the area you will need to either drive to get your pup or you can fly in and fly it home with you under your seat. This is the best and safest ways to make sure you get your puppy home safe and sound. NOTE: 2019 Price for limited registration will be $1800 with a $300 deposit Golden Retrievers are a very popular breed! Expect to wait as they are well worth waiting for!
All pups will have Colorado Sales Tax of 2.9 % added to your invoice! All pups will have an additional $25 for the Microchip registration to be entered by Hunters Goldstrike. The microchip and life time registration is a $65 value and we are happy to register your pup for you.
Disclaimer on planned litters: If for some reason we decide to change the sire and you have a deposit down, we will notify you and you can make a decision to leave your deposit, change litters, or get a refund. In some instances we may need to do this for various reasons!

A lot of socialization goes on around here with all this puppy love!	r

Limited Registration means that the dog is registered but no litters produced by that dog are eligible for registration! You can go back later to the breeder and get their permission for full registration after obtaining clearances for breeding thus litters produced are then eligible for registration. It is an AKC form that must be processed with a fee. I do sell on Full Registration for a higher price if you so want to obtain that breeding right up front. It is our intent and highly recommend that if you do so, before breeding this animal you will be a responsible breeder and obtain the clearances.
