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 puppies 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
(hip, elbow, eye, thyroid and cardiac) since
some of the final clearances can not be done
until 2 years of age. For your own reference,
these are the testing ages:
Any age--Eyes and DNA testing
for prcd-PRA, PRA1, PRA 2, Ichthyosis,
NCL, etc.
12 months--Cardiac and Thyroid
clearances
24 months--Hip and Elbow
displaysia
Additional
Thunderstruck Puppy Information
We specialize in competitive
field and hunt test Golden Retrievers and
our dogs performance and pedigrees support
that. The Golden Retriever puppies we produce
are ready to learn. With our socialization
program you will be getting a puppy that is
immediately eager to become a part of your
family. We are also very cognizant of health
clearances and DNA testing to ensure that
we are producing strong, healthy pups.

The puppy price 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. Our Golden puppies
sell for $3500-$4000 depending on the
breeding and puppy potential. We strive
for quality and carefully select our breedings.
We will do our best to steer you to the
breeding that will best meet your needs.
Because of the various
characteristics and genetics of our dogs,
our breedings are geared towards all-purpose
dogs that will perform in a variety of
venues: competition, testing, hunting,
and pets. As your puppy grows, we are
here to help you along the way and answer
any questions as they arise. We require
a deposit of $300 to reserve puppies in
advance of whelping and to ensure you
are on the final list. (The deposit goes
toward the puppy price). Call or email
with any questions.
The puppies we sell are
AKC registered with the "Thunderstruck"
prefix. Puppies are sold under limited
registration until buyers have proof of
health clearances for hip, elbow, heart,
and eyes, at which time full registration
will be transferred at no additional cost
from Thunderstruck Retrievers.
We prefer if you are
able to come to Thunderstruck Retrievers
when taking your puppy home so that
we are able to go through information
with you. We do understand that sometimes
this is not an option for some buyers
because of distance and timing. For
an additional cost of $100 (292
miles round trip), we will take the
puppy to the Minneapolis airport to
meet you if you choose to fly the puppy
back in a carry-on crate with you. We
are not able to ship puppies in cargo
at this time.
