We are Tim and Carol Acord. Golden Retrievers are a passion and a joy for us. Our Golden Retrievers are bred for health, temperament, and beauty. They are integrated into our family and life. They are not relegated to their kennel and left to live there. We will begin working on potty training as soon as outdoor temperatures are appropriate and vaccinations have begun. Your puppy will be familiar with a crate so that when you take him home, this will not be a novel or scary experience for him.
