Sires and Dames

Flint is our proven AKC Golden Retriever stud. He has a vibrant, deep red coat color with the dreamiest brown eyes that just pull you right in. He is very energetic with a wonderful and curious disposition. He loves being outside, hunting for gophers, and watching the skies for intruding birds. He adores the other animals on our property and loves to give them a little jump scare through the fence occasionally to keep them on their toes. He is amazing with our small children and continues to be an incredible addition to our breeding program. 

*Flint has completed his OFA Exam for hips with “good” results (the second highest result) and his OFA Elbow Exam elbows with “normal”, negative for elbow dysplasia, results. He also had his yearly OFA Cardiac Exam with “normal” results along with his 2024 OFA Eye Exam with “normal” results. 

We are currently awaiting his OFA CHIC number. Both of Flint’s parents are CHIC certified as well as one of his great grandparents. (Not all great grandparents were OFA tested as testing has recently become more popular with Breeder’s who now realize the importance of OFA testing and it wasn’t common knowledge or popular in the past). Flint is genetically tested through Embark and is “clear” of all currently testable genetic conditions.*

Fiera is the smallest red coated Golden Retriever in our program. She is currently pregnant with her final litter before her retirement. She is the biggest snuggle bug and often shows her affection through gentle nibbles on whatever skin she can find while wagging her tail and whining in happiness. You will find her with a ball of some sort in her mouth at any given time and would love to play fetch for hours if we let her. Her coat has a beautiful, deep red intensity that produces dark red coated puppies when paired with Flint, our stud.  

Fiera has completed her 2024 OFA Eye exam and her 2024 OFA Cardiac exam with normal results. She is genetically tested through Embark and is clear other than having the Ichyothis skin condition. She is purposefully bred to a clear stud to prevent directly passing two genes to her puppies. All of her puppies will be carriers but will never have Ichyothis themselves. Only AKC Pet Homes will be granted with Fiera’s future litters to prevent future generations of potentially positive puppies with the skin condition. 

Fiera is clear of all other currently testable genetic conditions. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding her genetic results. 

Sage is a happy go-lucky girl who loves any animal she comes into contact with. She is also on the smaller size with an athletic build, a sleek shorter coat in the summer and a plush feathered coat in the winter. Her coat color has a medium-dark red intensity that when paired with Flint, produces varying shades of medium to dark red coated puppies. She is such a sweet Golden who always looks forward to playing fetch as soon as she sees you. After throwing the ball for her, she will bring the ball back and gently drop it at your feet for you to throw for her again. Sage continues to blossom and show us her fun and loving personality and we have no doubt she will pass along those traits to her future puppies as well. 

*Sage has completed her OFA prelims for her hips and elbows with normal results. She has completed her 2024 OFA yearly heart and eye exams and has normal results as well. Sage is clear of all current testable genetic conditions through Embark.*

Dusty and her sister, Lucy are some of our newest “Hopefuls” in the Red Valley Retriever pack. These sweet girls play a very important part in the legacy of Red Valley Retrievers. Even though Lucy and Dusty are sisters, we are raising them in different homes while they grow up to prevent “littermate syndrome”. Until they are old enough to complete all of their health testing to prepare for their future role as mamas in the RVR breeding program, we are focusing on training them and having lots of play dates and ensuring safe exposure to the world around them. They have both currently completed their Embark Genetic testing. Dusty is clear of all currently testable genetic diseases and conditions. Lucy is a carrier for the skin condition Ichyothis. As a carrier, this means she does not have the condition herself and will never pass the condition to any of her puppies due to the fact that she will only ever be bred to a genetically clear stud.  

Lucy has completed her AKC Star Puppy Certification and is moving on to training for her AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification, and eventually a working service dog for her guardian, Cady. We can’t wait to see what their future holds. 

Sunny is retired in her Guardian home located in Arizona. She will be spending the rest of her life being spoiled rotten by her owners and retrieving water fowl during the hunting season. We thank Sunny for her beautiful puppies that she was able to bless our Red Valley Retriever families with while contributing to our mission to create healthy, happy puppies. 

Shadow is the patriarch of our whole program and the very reason we decided to venture into the path of breeding quality Golden Retrievers. When we were told we would get a few months with him at the most, he proved everyone wrong and held on for almost an entire year after his diagnosis.

He was the most patient, kind, smart, and loving dog you could ever meet. Very wise beyond his years and helped raise every dog in our program… and even our human children. Although we can never replace him, we wanted to be able to bring the joy and happiness we were so fortunate to have experienced and share this breed with the world while doing it in a healthy, ethical way. Doggy Heaven is so lucky to have such a good boy.
