Our Philosophy

At ALL 4 PAWS of Pheasant Run, our philosophy centers on responsibility, heart, and lifelong partnership. We are more than just a breeder — we are stewards of the English Cream Golden Retriever breed, dedicated to producing dogs that are healthy, well-tempered, and true to the breed’s loving nature.

Deliberate, Responsible Breeding

Our breeding program begins long before a litter is born. We carefully select parents with strong health clearances, excellent temperament, and sound conformation, choosing dogs from champion bloodlines that exemplify the best qualities of the breed. This thoughtful selection helps reduce the risk of genetic issues and promotes pups with balanced minds and bodies. Health testing is a cornerstone of our program. Every breeding dog undergoes comprehensive evaluations — including hip and elbow assessments, eye certification, cardiac checks, and DNA panels — to help ensure the puppies we raise start life with the healthiest possible foundation.

Raising Happy, Social Puppies

We believe that great dogs are made, not just born. From day one, our puppies are nurtured in our home environment with plenty of gentle handling, socialization, and positive experiences. They are introduced to various sounds, surfaces, and interactions with people of all ages as well as other animals, setting the stage for confident, adaptable pups ready for family life.

Before going to their forever homes, each puppy receives age-appropriate veterinary care, including vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and a complete health check. We provide documentation of this care as part of our commitment to transparency and responsible stewardship.

Finding the Right Homes

Our commitment extends far beyond placing puppies — we want to ensure every dog ends up in a loving, committed home where they can thrive. We work closely with prospective families, answering questions, offering guidance, and helping match each puppy with the home environment that suits them best.

We value communication and support throughout your puppy-raising journey, from initial inquiry to years down the road. Our goal isn’t simply to sell puppies — it’s to build relationships and foster joyful, lifelong companionships between families and their dogs.
