Meet the breeder
I'm Heidi S., the breeder behind The Wildfire Ranch located in De Beque, CO. The Savocas are practically Colorado natives, now starting a home of their own. But while our family is new, we are not new to raising dogs! Heidi has been breeding Goldens since 2016 and we are excited to be bringing pups to homes in Grand Junction, Denver and the surrounding states.
Q. & A. with Heidi
Why did you start breeding?
When I was a kid I was finally able to set about getting my first dog. My family's only requirement was that it had to be completely reliable with children. That rules out a lot of breeds, and I soon settled on the Golden. How glad I am that I did! The rest is history.What makes your program special?
We focus on a healthy dog with temperament being the first consideration, then striving for beauty. Our goal is a well rounded Golden that is wonderful at home, but still capable of adventure, obedience, and even the show ring. As for our rearing, ranch raised and family loved puppies are just different! They are well handled, in a way that only a young child's love can accomplish. :)What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Golden Retriever
About Jester
Our first bold red Golden, Jester has become exactly the kind of dog I wanted to add to our pack. He is smart but super sweet, active but has an awesome "off switch", and loves fetching just as much as laying at your feet! He absolutely adores our baby too.

Golden Retriever
About Lucy
Lucy is an English Cream style Golden with light, gold-touched fur and blocky style. She is super mellow and laid back, hardly ever barks, and prefers her home above any other place. She is friends - or tries to be friends - with everyone, adores puppies, and loves to play, whether it be by herself or with a buddy.

Golden Retriever
About Rex
We looked long and hard for a Golden who was not only beautiful, but also passed all his health testing with high marks. Rex is just that! He is completely genetically clear, sound, and conformationally pleasing, taking after his mother who is an international champion from Russia. On top of all that he is loving and boundlessly confident - a true gem!
Excellent health testing

Golden Retriever
About Goldie
Goldie is our own, homebred pup, and is SO like her mother it is uncanny! She has her color, her smile, her bark, her build, and her intelligence; but is a bit more mellow. She is a delightful pup, and has been super easy to train and is my little velcro dog.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
The Wildfire Ranch 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
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.
Ichthyosis, Golden Retriever Type
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 5 (NCL5), Golden Retriever Type, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), PRA, Golden Retriever 2, PRA, Golden Retriever 1
