Golden Retriever
About Pipitt
Pipitt is my sweet and energetic girl! She’s the definition of field bred. Medium to high energy with high drive. She has a very athletic build is a dark red over coat with a complimenting blonde undercoat. She is a low shedder and has a thin coat. This girl is eager to please and work but also loves love:) She likes her tummy rubs and a good evening snuggle. Along side her love of snuggles (after she’s gotten her exercise in) she is the most sensitive dog I’ve meant. Very emotionally aware and thoughtful to her surroundings and the people in it.
Parent health testing
Good level
Rocky River reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Golden Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
