We chose this breeding to produce outstanding field-bred puppies. Denver and Archer are both fun to run and handle. They have great attitudes, love to work, are birdy and have talent!!

These puppies should be extremely suitable for many venues!! Puppies will be gold to dark gold (red) in color and weigh approximately 55-70 lbs. as adults.
This will be a great litter for anyone wanting a dog with a lot of go but also an off-switch in the house!!

Litter Highlights

Archer [Thunderstruck Like None Otter QA2 MH WCX OS x Pendragon's Little Red Monster QA2 MH] is a very talented young dog. He will be running Master Hunt Tests and Qualifyings this winter. We are excited for his career as a Hunt Test/Field Trial/hunting dog, as we feel he has gotten a ton of talent and personality from his parents. as a Hunt Test/Field Trial/hunting dog!!

Denver [FC Thistle Rocks Red Ike MH QA2 WCX x HR Bally's Only Wanna Be With You SH] is energetic, talented, birdy and loves the water!! We bought Denver fall of 2022 and we are getting her ready for Qualifyings. She should be a fun competition dog in the future. She has a lovable personality with an off switch but loves to get out in the field and work.

These puppies will be intense retrievers; great markers; and exceptional hunting companions, while still being extremely trainable, sociable, and loving. Both Blaze and Preacher are great to handle because they both posses that strong desire and drive.

 

All puppies come with the following:

Individual neurological stimulation from 3 to 16 days Dew claws removed undecided
Individual Socialization from 5 to 7 weeks Wormed
Written Health Guarantee DHAPP vaccination
AKC Trovan Microchipped AKC Litter Registration

Price and Deposit

Puppy price is $3800 (plus Minnesota and county sales tax) and reflects the quality of breeding; the resources we have invested in training, trialing, and testing our dogs; our continual attention to health clearances; and improvement of our breeding stock. We strive for quality--carefully selecting our breedings. We will do our best to steer you to the breeding that will best meet your needs; our breedings are geared towards all-purpose dogs, but because of the various characteristics and genetics of our dogs, some of our breedings may lend themselves to being extremely strong field trial litters.We require a deposit of $300 to reserve puppies in advance of whelping or after litter is born to ensure you are on the final list.

The puppies we sell are AKC registered with the "Thunderstruck" prefix. Our health guarantee is null and void if the registered name does not begin with the "Thunderstruck" prefix. Puppies are sold under limited registration until buyers have proof of health clearances for hip, elbow, heart, thyroid, and eyes, at which time full registration will be transferred. See puppy warranty link for more information.
Puppy Buyer Information

Our puppies are carefully raised: receiving early neurological stimulation, well-balanced socialization, and exposure to birds and crates. They are individually stimulated daily from 3-16 days. As they grow they will be problem-solving, playing, interacting with people of all ages, exercising, and beginning retrieving when ready. We are true believers of the benefits of early individual stimulation and socialization to maximize puppy potential.

These puppies will act as if they have been part of your home from the moment they transition from our home to yours. Pups experiencing these early benefits grow into mature, well-adjusted adult dogs. Before leaving Thunderstruck Retrievers, we do final testing and evaluating of our puppies using behavioral methods to best determine which puppies match with which prospective homes and to make final puppy placements.

We feel strongly about placing puppies in homes that best match their behaviors, personalities, and potential rather than having a "pick of the litter" system. Because of the stimulation, socialization, and exposure all of our puppies recieve from an early age, starting at Day 3, all puppies are highly desirable. We place puppies at approximately 6 1/2 weeks of age after observations and Puppy Aptitude Testing that analyzes areas such as retrieving, sensitivity, dominance, etc.; thus, it is important for clients to fill out the puppy application in its entirety and give us as much information as you can. We want you to be happy with the puppy we place in your home.

Choosing the right puppy for you is an important decision that lasts the life time of the dog and we are available to ensure you have the information you need to make that choice. We would like to give you as much information as possible and answer any questions you have. You may also fill out and submit a puppy application form. Another useful reference in your choice is the Golden Retriever Club of America.

Why buy a Thunderstruck puppy????

We are here to ensure that you receive the highest quality puppy with the healthiest start possible. Not only have we bought our own dogs out of proven stock, but we have continued that tradition by actively training our dogs and competing/testing/hunting with them.

We are active constantly in social, as well as working situations, with all of our dogs, so we are able to constantly assess their personalities and abilities. We use this knowledge when breeding, rather than just their pedigrees. We have a limited number of litters from each of our females because our dogs are not just used for breeding.

We have benefitted from breeders before us that have developed methods which have sent puppies to our home that immediately fit into our family and are eager to learn. Because we have had this experience first hand, we value that when sending a puppy to your home. When a confident, friendly, lovable, crazy-to-retrieve puppy arrives the first day and acts like it has never known anything different, it is an amazing experience! You will know that it has the start it needs to become a well-adjusted adult dog that you can enjoy for years.

We will make sure your puppy has socialization every day, has been introduced to birds and retrieving, and learns how to play. We want it to be ready to become a part of your family. We also know the value of health clearances and DNA testing. Our puppy warranty is our guarantee that you will have a healthy companion. We have a 26-month guarantee for hip, elbow, eye, heart. Once born this litter will be tested for Ichthyosis since both parents are carriers.

For your own reference, these are the testing ages:
Any age--Eye clearances and DNA testing prcd-PRA, PRA1, PRA 2, Ichthyosis, NCL
12 months--Cardiac and Thyroid clearances
24 months--Hip and Elbow dysplasia
