Every breeding dog at One Golden Moment undergoes rigorous specialist screening. We do not breed on preliminary clearances or self-attestations — all certifications are recorded in public OFA registries.
Radiographs evaluated by three independent veterinary radiologists at 24+ months. Rated Good or Excellent.
Screened for joint dysplasia, osteoarthritis, and developmental anomalies. Confirmed 100% Normal.
Annual CAER ophthalmologist evaluations examining for hereditary cataracts, retinal dysplasia, and PRA.
Echocardiogram and auscultation by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist (not general practitioner).
Zero carriers for DM, Ichthyosis (ICH-1), NCL (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis), PRA1, PRA2, and prcd-PRA.
Our puppies are whelped in the middle of our home — not out in an outdoor kennel run or commercial facility. From day three to day sixteen, each pup undergoes Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises.
By week four, they are accustomed to vacuum cleaners, kitchen chatter, dropping pans, and visitors. By week seven, they have made their first retrieves on grass, explored varied terrain, and ridden in a car.
"We raise dogs we want to live with — steady in the living room, unstoppable in the field."
“He arrived like he'd always lived here. Two years on, I still can't picture the house without him.”
