Meet Willow and Wilbur’s Irish Golden Retrievers

Willow and Wilbur’s puppies are ready to fill their new homes with Golden Retriever joy! This is a very friendly, well socialized litter, full of the classic warm, happy nature that makes Goldens such wonderful family dogs. They love their toys, tumble and play together with the other dogs, and light up whenever it’s time to head outside. This is our only Irish Golden Retriever litter for the next couple of years, and we can’t wait to see each of these sweet puppies settle in with their new families.

Meet the parents

Willow, the mom, is our beautiful red Irish Golden Retriever, half field Golden and half Irish Setter, at 42 lbs. Willow is a very sweet, affectionate girl with an endearing nature, and she’s happiest when she’s with her people. She comes from our own Irish Golden line, that we have worked with for over 20 years, and this special litter is her last before she retires to a well-earned life of leisure. One of her daughters is staying right here with us to carry on her line, so we’re thrilled to share her litter with families like yours. Willow is OFA screened for hips (Good), elbows (Normal) and heart (Normal), CAER eye certified, and DNA clear of PRA-rcd1. See Willow’s health clearances

Wilbur, the dad, is our handsome cream AKC Golden Retriever from European lines, at about 70 lbs. Wilbur is a gentle teddy bear with a soft heart, a friendly hello for everyone and a tail that never stops wagging. Together, Willow and Wilbur bring field Golden, European Golden and a splash of Irish Setter into one wonderful litter. Wilbur is OFA screened for hips (Good), elbows (Normal) and heart (Normal), CAER eye certified, and DNA clear of NCL5. See Wilbur’s health clearances

Field and European Golden lines, with a touch of Irish Setter

We love pairing field Golden Retrievers with European imported Golden lines, and this litter shows off the best of both. These puppies are one-half European Golden, one-quarter field Golden and one-quarter Irish Setter. Every Golden Retriever carries a little Irish Setter from the breed’s 1800s beginnings, and Willow’s side of the family carries a bit more. Read why we pair these lines

Raised with our family

These puppies have grown up surrounded by love and laughter. Our children, elementary age to teens, cuddle and play with every litter daily, starting the week the puppies are born. Each puppy had Early Neurological Stimulation in the first weeks, then socialization following Jan Fennell’s Amichien Bonding method. Crate training has already started, giving your puppy a happy head start on house training.

How to bring your puppy home

We’d love to help you welcome your new best friend home! Start with our free application, and we’ll be in touch within 24 hours. A $500 earnest deposit by Venmo or Zelle holds the puppy you’ve chosen. Because your puppy is reserved and held only for your family, the deposit is non-refundable once a puppy is chosen.

Puppies are ready to go home Thursday, October 29, and we can’t wait to see the happy faces on going-home day! If you’d like a later homecoming, just let us know and we’ll work out the details with you. You’re also welcome to visit and meet the puppies at our home by appointment. Too far to drive? We deliver by flight nanny or airline pet carrier.

“She was the best dog I’ve ever owned… I like to tell people she was an Irish Setter outside and a Golden Retriever in the house. Meaning outside she was very energetic, but once she came inside, she was very mellow.”
— Shawn R., Irish Golden Retriever family since 2012 · Google review

Additional information

3 Year Health Warranty	Sunshine Acres offers a straight forward cash back warranty. We do not have any requirements such as you have to purchase food from us or you have to use the refund toward the purchase of another puppy from us. The refund is simply a check written to you. This rarely happens but Sunshine Acres wants to take responsibility and keep you covered. Healthy puppies has been our family's priority for over 25 years. https://www.doodlepuppy.com/the-sunshine-acres-warranty/
Canine Good Citizen Rebate	We will mail you a check for $200 once your puppy has passed the Canine Good Citizen test. Sunshine Acres wants to reward puppies for good behavior. We have selected AKC's Canine Good Citizen basic test since it is a standardized test that is fairly easy to pass and is available all over the country. After completion, submit a copy of the certificate to Sunshine Acres and we will send you a check.
Microchip	All Sunshine Acres puppies have an embedded RFID microchip for your puppy's identification. The ID on this page is the last five digits of the microchip number. These chips are not trackable by GPS but emit a frequency when scanned so your contact information may be looked up. Sunshine Acres uses an ISO chip, so it is universal no matter where your travels take you.
Link To Parents	Each of our puppies parents are fully tested. View our parents' page to see our moms and dad's OFA hip, elbow, heart and CAER eye testing. DNA screening appropriate for their breed is also completed. Sunshine Acres parents are from healthy lines with family friendly personalities. Learn more: https://doodlepuppy.com/meet-the-parents/
NeoTech Vaccines	Sunshine Acres uses and follows the protocols of the Neotech Company to offer the core vaccines your puppy needs for safety. Several rounds of immunizations are completed by each puppy's going home time.
Socialization	Our puppies are socialized in a family setting following techniques taught by Jan Fennell, The Dog Listener. Each puppy is stimulated every day before his or her eyes open to familiarize them to the smells of their human companions. Once our puppies start interacting with people, they are handled, played with, and enjoyed by our family, with children that range in ages from toddler to teenager. A puppy’s trainability and intelligence is greatly impacted by its early imprinting, so we expose our puppies to a variety of experiences in a positive way.
Shipping	Delivery is available to most major destinations in the continental US and Canada via airline pet carrying services. We are familiar and comfortable with the shipping process and would be glad to make arrangements for air delivery, if you live too far away to come to Indiana to pick up your puppy. The delivery/airline ticket and handling fee is $550.
Veterinary Wellness	100% of Sunshine Acres puppies are screened by our veterinarian. They are weighed, microchips are scanned, and end with a head-to-toe examination. If there is anything abnormal, it will be noted on this page. At going home time, Sunshine Acres puppies are current on their core vaccinations and have already received preventative dewormers as well as flea, tick and heart worm prevention monthly.
