We perform Early Neurological Stimulation and temperament test pups using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test to help new owners make an informed choice as to the best fit for their family. Golden retriever puppies are reared in our home with our family, children and socialized with other pets - including an indoor cat, sheep, cattle, and any other 4-H "projects" our children get involved with. Pups are AKC registered and parents certified through OFA.

Our female golden retriever, Roxy, will be hip, elbow and heart OFA-certified in June. She is OFA Normal for eyes. She is clear for PRA-prcd, PRA1, PRA2, DM, NCL and not affected by Ichthyosis (carrier or clear possibility only). You can click on her name above to visit her page. Pups will be tested to determine Ichthyosis and PRA2 status (carrier or clear is possible; no pups would be affected or symptomatic in this breeding).
The sire we plan to breed Roxy to is Bingley of Northern Lights Retrievers. He originates from Serbia with exceptional Champion bloodlines, beautiful conformation and great temperament. Bingley is also OFA Good in hips, normal eyes, heart and elbows. We are very excited about this potential outcross!

Please check our Upcoming Litters to bookmark that section for potential golden retriever puppy litters of our own or that our male golden retriever may sire.
If the timing of our litter is not the best for you, we highly recommend Jackie Mertens of Topbrass Goldens. We received a pup from her years ago that was trained to a master hunter (a full aunt to our Bella, dam of our current litter) and are very pleased with this breeder's knowledge and her experience. Her website is www.topbrass-retrievers.com

Families with pups from Floden Farm have reported good things! Some became dock divers, GRCA competitors, AKC field work, derby, hunt testing, agility performers, hunters, service dogs and great companions that are super with kids.
Some litters born at Floden Farm are available on Full AKC Registration with performance and breeding potential. While we recommend visiting to help us select your puppy, shipping/handling is also available within the United States and Alaska at a flat rate of $500. This includes the additional vet check for flying, veterinary certificate for flying, breeder's travel to and from airport, and an airline approved shipping crate that you will be able to use at your home.
Minnesota Golden Retriever Puppy Hobby Breeder. Located in west central Minnesota, about 1-1/2 hours from Fargo, North Dakota and 2-1/2 hours from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Floden Farm currently raises golden retriever puppies for the field in a home environment with children on our hobby farm. We usually have a litter of AKC registered golden retriever pups every couple years or so.
Occasionally, we offer Kindergarten golden retriever puppies or started dogs. Our breeding dogs are health certified through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), AKC registered, and genetics tested.

Our philosophy is to keep an open mind ... Genetic testing and overall health is important while balancing genetic diversity within the golden retriever breed as more DNA tests to attain the 'perfect dog' are continually added. Knowledge is power, however we can grow along with diversity to work toward balanced results with health, temperament and trainability. It is important, too, to keep our golden retriever gene pool diverse while reducing genetic disorders.
Keep in mind that in general, carriers, so long as not bred to other carriers or affecteds, will not produce a puppy affected with a certain disorder and can help expand the retriever gene pool while producing other clears in the same litter. Many other considerations such as trainability, temperament, conformation and how dogs compliment each other also go into the breeding process. If we only breed clear to clear, especially as new recessive mutations as discovered, our gene pool will be small and the chances of developing more mutations from higher COIs in the long run grows.
