AS STARTED MY BREEDING AMATEUR GOLDEN RETRIEVER

My first golden Geneva I bought in 1998 in Geneva with one of our parrots on her head, the inseparable Falpalà,

my amateur breeding CODE DI ZUCCHERO was just born. Before starting to breed I chose to wait for my golden breeding grow well and reach the optimal maturity. I also waited to get permission to breed and the official results of preventive health examinations that certify the health of my golden and security policy and any hidden disease (Journal of reading and even elbows and control of hereditary oculopatie).

For those who read the pedigree and is not expert golden retriever, I precise that my golden come from the best blood lines in Europe and they are all subsidiaries of Champions of beauty and work. All their ancestors have always been monitored, as can be read in the schedules of individual dogs, a witness immunity from displasie hereditary race.

The golden that I favor, are scheduled to blood English, who also attitude to work, "dual purpose", and these lines of blood that I always will try to select.

The choice of my dogs have been close and careful, I selected pedigree with very sophisticated and selected, they are beautiful and healthy and is derived from healthy relatives, all certificates and with good attitude to work. The same criterion was used in the choice of husbands for pairing with my "girls".

Male dogs, as well as titles in the ring, free of hidden diseases,dogs very beautyful, especially having a wonderful character to do from Dads, dogs must be resolutely gentle, docile, not quarrelsome with other males, because this will be the best guarantee to achieve a balanced puppies (especially puppies who do not inherit balanced changes outside the standard character) to be delivered at a future family.

Since the characteristics of quarrelsome are transmitted genetically as any other tare hereditary and that a golden should never be aggressive, it is better to take the puppy from herds amateur managed by competent people, rather than to buy it in stores.

It is unusual in fact, I happened to accommodate young golden males who showed very unbalanced characters, all coming from commercial breedings or breeding locateded abroad (never recognized by the club official), or had been purchased through Internet..

Everybody like me loves this race, they are fighting to maintain the peculiarities of Retrievers, thus avoiding the spread of individuals affected in their nature, unbalanced, aggressive and difficult to manage. Always trying to select only dogs who have ancestors certificates in all generations to prevent the extension of hereditary diplasia and other diseases of the race, subject to obtaining excellent shape. My golden live with me, at home, along with other members of the family pets, so between me and them it has established a complicity. With great enthusiasm I verify that their character is genetically well determined in their puppies.

It fills me with satisfaction and pride seeing their eyes upon me waiting for a nod, and entrusted totally confident, follow my directions even in situations totally new for them. We should not raise your voice to obtain their obedience, with golden constancy just use a calm tone and a lot of consistency, how can confirm all those who have a "real" golden.

My litters are born at home, in the home peace I can follow lovingly mothers and pups.

At the appropriate time puppies start socialization with so many animals in the family (cats, parrots, dwarf rabbits, horses), with guests in the farm and with their owners. Every day many come and go from "Animal House" to know us or visit us.

Each golden puppy in my farm, when delivered to his new family, will have extensive and varied experience (dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, parrots, horses, sports, music, various noises) that many dogs do not even experience in a lifetime.

Besides all my golden, like all puppy purchased from us, have the chance to come back and visit us to develop harmoniously during growth. Also puppies that are bought from residents in various regions of Italy, have the possibility of a continuous contact in various periods of the year, I try to hold strategic meetings to let puppies play together, or organize for those become adults wonderful naturalistic walks inside the adjacent forest "park of Veio."

All my dogs living in the farm or those entrusted to the new masters can take advantage of our swimming pool built specially for dogs such as waterfowl retriever, and the huge green space that characterizes the property.
Whoever buys one of my puppy, will have been certainly selected so that he will be an aware master, and automatically, together with his puppy, will become an external component of our family, so that we will follow and support him with attention. The golden puppy will always have the opportunity to come in Our pension "THE ANIMAL HOUSE "to spend his joyful holiday.

IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND IF THE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS FIT YOU

It is a wonderful friendly dog, easy trainable, without behavioral problems, whether born with a right selection, it is never aggressive so that it is extremely suitable for family life and even has an elegance unmatched.

These Dogs are named golden not only for reflection "gold" of their hair but, above all, for their incredible virtues, especially for working with disabled people and in situations of civil emergency.

The character of the golden is affectionate, docile, very affectionate to the family. It a dog enterprising but educated, his body is sturdy but well-proportioned. It is a good hunting dog and for work, but also a family and friends unparalleled dog.

Those who have already had dogs of other breeds and decides to take a golden, must change the criteria and modalities of approach.

It is unnecessary and counterproductive to teach education with the golden attitudes of rigidity and hardness, we must teach the golden things with sweetness because it is a dog who does not like to be reproached, humiliated or subjected, and it is ready to learn whatever we want and responds with docility if we deal it with patience. It is very determined in carrying out the tasks assigned, sometimes even with some of stubbornness.

It is a brave and very possessive dog.

His lack of aggressiveness and fighting makes it not a dangerous dog, or a watchdog. Being also an excellent companion dog, is also well suited to city life, at home moves with grace, taking into account that it needs to do much moving daily. It would be appropriate to submit to a proper training, not necessarily professional, to bring out all the capacity for which it was selected.

We must remember that the golden poorly motivated can become lazy and fat and, if is abandoned in a garden, after having marked its territory, it remain countless hours to idle in front of the door.

Their greatest desire is to stay comfortable in the midst of their human family, but seeing you to enter home, they suddenly light up and become a condensate of joy and truly inexhaustible vitality

The golden is an eternal joyful puppy even in old age.
Usually who becomes master of a golden and lives with him, tested their sweetness and balance in living together, quickly realizes that they could not do more for less and becomes a "fan of a golden lifetime".

When you have to choose a puppy, it is convenient to trust the farmer, who will assess, on the basis of character, which is the best puppy for you. There are tests as that of Dr. W.E. Campbell, who can test the character of the dog already about seven weeks of life.
It is clear, for example, that for a family full of exuberant children will be more useful a strong an strong outstanding male, which can effectively play and interact with children, while the puppy is intended for an adult, perhaps a no longer young lady, will be a more suitable female not dominant, more reflective and less exuberant.

Bea is our condensed of sympathy, sweeps with her incitement, friends visitors to the house of animals in her games
If you decide to buy and share your life with this dog, you should know that the golden fit: a people that loves sports, walks or swims, in any season

Indeed, the golden has a daily need to get into the mind and body through so much physical activity, doing one or two hours walk everyday.

Who loves working with dogs in hunting competitions (EVEN WITH DUMMY) and sets forth, and the versatility of a golden work is unparalleled and capable of giving great satisfaction.

Who does not need to be protected or defended by a dog, there would not be surprising if a golden bring the ball to the thief wagging its tail;

Who wants to give and receive a world of affection;

Who has children and wants them to grow safely with a dog, a nice companion games (but children must be educated in advance to respect the dogs);

Who has a family member who needs to learn to deal with a dog, because he fears and has phobias as a result of bites received in the past by other dogs. The golden goodness is in flesh and bones, and will be the right tool to overcome these fears;

For disabled. The dog chosen and trained by experts in pet therapy (requires a long and thorough preparatory work in its first year of life) can really change the lives of those who have physical or mental disabilities;

To those working in civil protection, or serving volunteers. These dogs are brave, they don't save themselves at work with their beloved masters, they agree to be set by helicopters in inaccessible areas to help humans, with their excellent sense of smell, in the search for missing people in the bushes or in any other condition of danger.

It is important to be preparated to deal with serenity and patience the first months of life golden. It is a dog that grows very quickly in its first year and easily donned in danger, it does every tipe of pranks.

It will be useful to seek to prevent the occasions that may put them in trouble. For example, you must absolutely avoid stairs, racing and other small things, to prevent environmental dysplasia.
Once the period of its turbulent adolescence is over and when the golden will have completed the first year becoming an adult, suddenly everything will change and you can finally enjoy the pleasure of his presence: the elegance of his poise, the serenity of its muzzle and the sweetness of his way to be, his sensitive company will make you forget the initial effort.

Often who takes a golden after a while tries to take a second, just because of a golden puppy, albeit very challenging, is an adorable little bear and a real pull kisses.
I remain at disposal of those who buy a puppy from me, to help to grow them healthy and strong. It is good thing that "Code di zucchero" are and will remain a large extended family, who like to see and meet its members always even those who live elsewhere.
