Expected Golden Retriever litter

I'm Rebecca C., the breeder behind Gravitas Golden Retrievers located in Visalia, CA.

About Hank
Hank is a working service dog. He is also a truly happy dog! He has that smile that Golden Retrievers sometimes have, and he wears it just about all the time. He i enjoys engaging with people at home through play, especially “tug” and “toss.” He is very well mannered in the home, though his favorite trick is finding those lost socks that seem to disappear in the dryer. We can count on him to rescue them and bring them home safely! As a service dog, he is even-tempered, and is extremely focused on his handler. Hank is quick to respond to his needs, and truly seems to enjoy working. He is very eager to please, and easy to train. Some of his favorite things are trips to grandma and grandpas in the summer to go swimming, wrestling with his dog brothers, and looking out the window on car rides!

About Sunny
Sunny came to us from our friends at Show Me Goldens and we are so grateful!! She is incredibly friendly and loves meeting new people and dogs. Confident and independent, she enjoys cuddling but also values her alone time. Typically calm and low-energy, she becomes playful and energetic around others. She is the quintessential Golden!

About Lola
Lola is a beautiful girl out of our very own Babette and Noah from Stagegulch Goldens. Lola has matured into a beautiful girl inside and out, and is everything we hope to produce in our dogs! Lola is extremely sweet, calm and well behaved… a testament no doubt to her amazing Guardian Home but also much like both her parents! Lola loves to hang out with her family, go for a walk or whatever is on the day's agenda!

She loves everyone she meets and is the quintessential Golden Retriever!

About Giuseppe
This boy is a very special addition to the Gravitas Family! Several years ago I took notice of his sire, who, at the time, was 16 years old. Impressed by his longevity, I reached out to his breeder in Europe to see if it would be possible to get a male puppy or semen from this boy. At the time, they did not think it was likely, but much to my surprise about a year later they contacted me and had a litter! Giuseppe arrived about 3 months later and it was a nail-biting first year awaiting his preliminary health clearances but my patience paid off! Giuseppe's sire did finally pass away at the age of EIGHTEEN years old. This is huge for the breed, and knowing that Giuseppe was one of his last sons makes Giuseppe worth his weight in gold! Not only does this boy have serious longevity genes stacked in his odds, but he is also just the quintessential Golden Retriever. Giuseppe is playful and easily entertained. He loves children, other dogs, and above all anyone that pets him. Oftentimes, if Giuseppe sees any animals on TV, he stops, sits in front of it, picks up his toys and whimpers. He especially is fascinated with the Dog Shows. Showing his playful side, every time he eats, he picks up his metal dog bowl and the other dog's bowl and carries them throughout the house clanging them on the wooden floors!

Rebecca was such a pleasure to work with. Her communication was excellent and she was always very responsive every step of the way and available via email, text or voice to answer any questions or concerns. Her website she provides for each litter was also super helpful - with a puppy cam showing the puppies and tons of useful information and answers to FAQs. We just picked up our puppy yesterday and couldn't be happier - he is such a sweetie.
