Our exceptional golden retriever puppies

At Salt & Light Golden Retrievers in Las Cruces, NM we dedicate ourselves to nurturing puppies that are not only healthy and beautiful but also well-socialized and adaptable. Our comprehensive care program ensures each puppy receives the best possible start in life.

Our puppies are born and raised in our home, guaranteeing the cleanest and safest environment. We follow veterinary guidance throughout the gestation period, including X-rays to estimate litter size and ensure momma's health. Momma's well-being is our top priority; she receives multi-vitamins, homemade dog food mixed with puppy food, and calcium powder for optimal health for both her and the developing pups.

All puppies will meet our veterinarian at 6 weeks of age for their first shots, deworming, and a thorough health check-up before joining their new families. They will also receive limited AKC registration.

From day 3 to 16, we implement Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) training. This involves brief, gentle stressors like toe tickles, holding upside down, and holding upright, which significantly improve neurological development, stress response, and adaptability, laying a strong foundation for these beautiful goldens future. ENS is also linked to enhanced growth, immune, and cardiovascular systems.

BeyondENS, our puppies are introduced to a rich variety of new sounds, smells, textures, and obstacles to promote confidence and curiosity.

 A potty tray and a bed is introduced at 3 weeks old in the whelping box, capitalizing on their instinct to keep their sleeping area clean and encouraging them to use the designated potty spot. At 6 weeks, a crate is introduced to ensure our puppies see it as a safe haven for peace and refuge. Baths are given regularly, so pups become accustomed to water without fear. We also implement specific techniques to help prevent car sickness, ensuring a smooth transition to their new homes.
