We Have Opened Our List and Have Reservations Available!

Our list is usually closed and all of our English Golden Retriever puppies are reserved. However, we’ve had a big gap between our litters and now all three girls have decided it’s time to have babies ready for new homes this winter. Read on to see what is available, how we raise our puppies, how we are staffed, and how we test our adults.

The Parent’s of Our Puppies

All of our girls have OFA excellent hips (final scores, not prelims and genuine OFA scores, not FCI). Our boys also have very good hips. We do eye tests yearly. We have our dog’s hearts examined by a board certified cardiologist. Summer Brook also does genetic testing. All details including links to proofs are on the individual dogs pages which you can get to through the Our Dogs Page.

We Do Not Accept FCI Hip X-rays Done Prior to a Year as Final

We do not import dogs with FCI hip testing that was done prior to a year old. This has become a very common practice in recent years with the imports. These misleading FCI x-rays are done by a European breeder’s personal vet. Then these older puppies are imported to the U.S. and breeders in the U.S. post these results as final.

Hip dysplasia is prevalent in Golden Retrievers in both American Goldens as well as English Goldens. We retired over half of the dogs that we imported initially because the health did not meet our very high standard. It is our commitment to health as a first priority that has enabled us to now be in a position to have lines with truly good health. In addition, and most importantly, to date, in the almost 12 years that we’ve been breeding, we have yet to have anyone report that their puppy has hip dysplasia.

For more detail on what is becoming quite a big trend with breeders of imported golden retrievers, see out page entitled FCI Hip Tested Golden Retrievers in the United States.

How We Raise Our Puppies

For our upcoming litters, there will be four experienced adults (a husband and wife and their two adult daughters who have now returned to live at home) working full time (around the clock) with our puppies. Our home is large enough for all puppies to be raised inside our home. We have six doggy doors to six different puppy play yards where older puppies freely live coming in and out of our home, almost a dozen fenced areas, and a total of nine acres fenced for our dogs and puppies. Younger puppies stay in our home 24/7. We have a very detailed and well thought out plan for How We Raise Our Puppies.

Skilled Puppy Raisers and Skilled Trainers

In addition, our two primary trainers are extremely successful positive reinforcement trainers having titled over a dozen dogs in AKC obedience trials, put a CDX on four of them, a UD on three of them, and a RACH on two of them. Also, Karen our primary trainer has even earned the most advanced obedience title of all: OTCH. The OTCH is so difficult to attain that it takes most trainers a dog’s lifetime to complete it. By far, most that try to earn it fail. Tara and Karen earned the required 100 points in less than a year and a half (including time off for Tara to whelp and raise a litter of puppies and for Karen to train dozens of other puppies). AKC only awards the OTCH to less than a hundred dogs nationwide per year. There were less than 70 dogs to earn it nationwide in 2021.

Karen has also recently won Combined High in Trial at a regional event. There are eleven regions in the U.S. and this is where the best competitors in the country compete to earn an invitation to the National Obedience Competition, the most prestigious event in the country. This event, the NOC, happens only once a year.

Positive Reinforcement Training Only!

Karen is one of very few trainers in the competitive obedience world who uses exclusively positive reinforcement training. Most importantly, Karen (and Jenna) use the same positive techniques with our puppies that have been used to create an obedience champion.

All Summer Brook puppies will have some degree of training, even those leaving us at 8 weeks. Read on for more information.

Beauty, Conformation, Temperament, Health

We appreciate and strive for beauty and good conformation. However, our primary goal as Golden Retriever breeders is producing the best of temperaments along with good health. The title of this paragraph has our priorities listed in reverse order. Health is our main priority, followed by temperament, conformation, and beauty. However, we focus on all of these qualities.

Parents of Our English Golden Retriever Puppies

The parents and/or grandparents of our Golden Retrievers have titles to prove their excellence in both the conformation ring as well as the obedience ring. All breeding dogs have excellent health clearances including cardiac clearances with a cardiologist, yearly eye clearances, excellent elbows, and very tight hips that are either rated good or excellent. See the Our Dogs page for more information, pictures, and proofs of health testing.

Then, the icing on the Summer Brook cake is our Focused Puppy Training program. See the many videos linked below to truly appreciate it.

Future Litters

We plan on raising three litters fall/winter/spring 2022/2023. See more about the individual litters below.

Our 11 week training program is very popular, but we may limit the number of puppies that we keep past 8 weeks from Paisley’s litter depending on the size of her litter. We have closed our reservation list for Sydney’s litter as we have reached our 6 reservation limit until after birth. However, we believe that London will be having a larger litter than originally expected and Paisley has a couple of spots available as well.

See our page on How Our Reservation List Works for more details.

If you are interested in one of our puppies, please read all of our page entitled Frequently Asked Questions including all the links that this page takes you too. After reading these pages, fill out our puppy questionnaire.

Future Changes

We will possibly offer some of our puppies with our new 8 Week program. For more information on when this program might be offered see our How Our Reservation List Works page.

See our Expectations Page for more information on the training we provide our puppies. Scroll down to see videos of puppies being trained in our 11 Weeks Program. See our newest page entitled A Successful Start in Positive Reinforcement Puppy Training for information and videos of the training we provide between 6 and 8 weeks. This page contains five different videos of five different puppies. These videos give a pretty good picture as to what we train in our 8 Weeks Program and they also show how we train all of our puppies during these early training sessions.

Even if you are leaving your puppy to 11 weeks, these videos will give you some clarity as to how we train. Each video is a typical training session with a puppy that is around 7 weeks of age. Scroll down to see videos of puppies that are a little older to see what they can do.

Health Clearances

Our dogs have extremely good health clearances. We are especially proud of the fact that all of them have generations of really good hips and elbows. All of our girls have OFA excellent hips. The boys have hips that are on the high end of good.

Elbows on all our dogs are 0/0 which is the best possible score. All of our dogs have eyes that are cleared yearly.

We also do DNA testing. Details on each dog are on the individual dog’s pages which you can get to by clicking on the dog’s pictures above.

Our Requirements

We have more requirements than most. The biggest requirement that keeps us from being a match for most is that someone must have considerable time for the puppy. If everyone in the family works away from home full time, we wouldn’t be the breeder for you. Even if you work from home, you must have considerable time to devote to a puppy. Golden Retrievers thrive on human companionship and it is important to us that our puppies have the best possible life.

More Videos of Past English Cream Golden Retriever Puppies

The video below demonstrates the training of each of the seven puppies in a past Piper litter. We accelerated the training for the seven puppies in the video . This degree of training is exceptional. However, it is not our norm for puppies at barely 9 weeks of age. This video exemplifies the training at 10-11 weeks of age.

If Interested in a Future Summer Brook Golden Retriever Puppy

If you are interested in a puppy from Summer Brook, see our How to Reserve a Puppy page, as well as our FAQ pages for more information. Also, see our page on How Our List Works for more information on how our waiting list works. If not interested in a Summer Brook puppy, you might enjoy our page on English Golden Retriever Breedersfor some interesting information on choosing another breeder.

Puppy Questionnaire

It has recently come to our attention that at least one person has sent us a questionnaire that we did not receive. We are always prompt to email people that send us questionnaires to let them know that we have received them. It is extremely rare that you won’t get some kind of response from us within 24 hours.

Therefore, please check with us if you don’t receive a response from us as this likely is an indication that your questionnaire didn’t go through.

How We Raise Our English Golden Retriever Puppies

We raise our puppies inside our home with a very well thought out plan. Our plan builds on the genetics that our puppies are born with. We’ve planned and scheduled every detail at every age. See our How We Raise Our Puppies page for more details.

Training Program

See our Focused Puppies Training Program for the details. You must see the videos to appreciate what we do with these very young puppies. Our training goals go beyond training behaviors. We train puppies to WANT to engage and work with a person. Therefore, training focus and a good work ethic is first.

For the past two years, over 90% of families getting puppies from us have chosen to get our training program. Many of these initially planned on picking up their puppy at 7 1/2 weeks and then decided to leave their puppy for the training after looking more into it. For this reason and more importantly because we believe it is in every puppy’s best interest to stay with us until at least 10 weeks, all Summer Brook English English Cream Golden Retriever puppies starting with our fall 2020 litters will leave us with a start in training. Families love our program and so do our puppies.

For more information, see first of all our Raising Puppies, Trained Puppies, and Trained Puppies Expectationspages for how we raise and train our puppies. Then, go to our About Us pagewhich gives information on our family and who will be working with the puppies. Also see our After Puppy Pick Up page for additional videos and how to continue the training that we start.

Our Trainer’s Accomplishments

Karen (Darrell’s wife and the primary trainer at Summer Brook) is a very competitive trainer in the AKC obedience ring. She has put a UD on three dogs and went on to complete a UDX and even completed the very challenging and advanced title: OTCH (Obedience Trial Champion) on our Tara. In addition, Karen has completed two RACH titles (Rally Obedience Champion) as well as numerous CD’s, CDX’s, HIT’s (High in Trial) and Combined HIT’s on many different dogs.

Our Training Page

We discuss more about Karen’s accomplishments and skill on our training page. There is also a link to a video of her at an AKC obedience trial in the Open obedience ring as well as the Utility Obedience Ring. These videos demonstrate Karen and our now retired Jack doing the most advanced AKC obedience exercises.

White english cream golden retriever puppies for sale

How much is an English cream golden retriever?

Due to their rarity, this breed is very expensive to adopt. You can usually only find them at breeders, where they're going to cost you around $3,000 to $5,000, not including any extras.

Is an English cream golden retriever rare?

This pale-coated dog IS NOT a new and rare breed. In fact, the English cream and your typical golden are the same dog breed but with different breed standards. While the platinum golden retriever looks slightly different than your neighboring golden, this isn't a new rare breed as some breeders claim.

Are white Golden Retrievers rare?

Are white golden retrievers rare? Sorry to disappoint you, but white golden retrievers aren't actually rare! While some golden retrievers may have a light golden coat, they aren't actually pure white. In fact, golden retrievers as a breed don't carry the gene for a white coat, so they can never be truly white.

What is the difference between a golden retriever and an English cream golden retriever?

The primary difference and the main thing that sets English golden retrievers apart from American golden retrievers is that they only come in a cream or white coat, while American golden retrievers are found in yellow and red coloring.
