Breeding and Puppies
Puppies are lovingly raised by the lakeside in the scenic regions of Muskoka and Oakville, Ontario. During the summer, they learn to swim in the lake, explore, and play in the natural surroundings of the cottage. By eight weeks old, they are well-socialized and fully prepared to venture into the world.
Ferngold Vizslas are selectively bred to thrive in various setting, be it the show ring, the field, or as a companion and family pets. We are proud to have bred and raised top winning show dogs that are proven in the field and also live wonderful lives as companions in our homes. We focus intently on temperament, health, and trainability as foundational elements of our breeding program.
Breedings at Ferngold are based on quality and not quantity, always thoughtfully planned and carefully researched to ensure optimal results. Having the luxury of 25 years of experience and knowledge of pedigrees, we are able to achieve our breeding goals with confidence. Prior to breeding, all of our dogs undergo OFA Health tests and achieve various titles to showcase their versatility.
We take our responsibility in placing puppies seriously, ensuring thoughtful matches between each puppy and their future home. Confirmation and temperament tests are conducted when the puppies reach 7 to 8 weeks of age. Based on this information, we select puppies for the prospective buyers. Our process does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and we do not request deposits on puppies until we know that a breeding has taken place. Deposits will be returned if we cannot provide a puppy within the specific planned litter.
Puppies typically leave our care at 8 weeks old. All of our puppies are CKC registered and are placed under a non-breeding or co-own show contracts with approved families only. We provide ongoing support on any issues that may arise over the years. Additionally, we include a clause in our contract, which states that if a buyer can no longer care for their dog, it will be either returned or we will help to find an appropriate solution for the dogs well being.
