Estimated Breeding: August/September

Estimated Whelping: October/November

Estimated Go Home: December/January

 

We’re thrilled to announce the third planned litter between Indy and Rocky. A pairing we've repeated due to the exceptional quality of puppies they consistently produce. These two have a history of creating well balanced, beautiful dogs with the temperament and structure we strive for in our breeding program. Puppies from Indy and Rocky are known for being energetic and playful in their early months, but as they mature, they mellow into calm, affectionate, and loyal companions. Their temperament makes them ideal for therapy work, emotional support roles, or as devoted family dogs.

These puppies will feature a gorgeous cream-colored coat, thick and soft, with a confident demeanor and gentle nature. Past litters have been praised for their social ease, doing well in homes with other dogs, children, and a variety of environments. Their balanced energy, intelligence, and willingness to please make them a joy to raise and train.

Maggie x TBD

Estimated Breeding: September/October

If you are interested in or curious of what a Guardian Home is please visit that page on our website. You must live within 45 minutes of Modesto in order to be considered for this female. Email us for more info.

We’re excited to announce that Maggie will be having her first litter, and we are currently in the process of selecting the perfect outside stud for this very special pairing. Because Maggie is related to both Rocky and Jax, we’ve made the intentional decision to look beyond our current program in order to preserve her beautiful cream lines while continuing to prioritize health, temperament, and structure. At this time, the sire has not yet been finalized, and we will not announce the selected male until after breeding has taken place. When using outside lines, there are many important factors that come into play. Any stud we choose will come from a reputable breeding program with goals and standards similar to our own, and will have completed health and genetic testing to ensure the best possible outcome for the litter.

 

Maggie is a wonderful representation of everything we love in our dogs; gentle, intelligent, and beautifully built. We expect her puppies to carry forward her soft cream coat, kind expression, and loving nature. This will be a very special litter, and we’re taking great care to find the right match to complement her strengths and continue producing puppies that excel as companions or therapy dog..

We are excited to share that we plan to pair Pepper and Tate for their second litter together. A repeat breeding based on the outstanding puppies they produced previously. Their first litter impressed us with pups that were intelligent, driven, and full of adventurous spirit. These puppies are expected to have light to medium golden coats, with a lean, athletic build. When fully grown, they should weigh approximately 60–65 pounds. True to their field lines, these pups will be agile, quick learners, and eager to please, making them excellent candidates for adventure-loving families, dog sports, agility, service work, or as active companions. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a competition prospect, or a loyal, energetic family dog, Pepper and Tate’s puppies are built for versatility and connection. Their natural confidence, athleticism, and intelligence shine through early on.

Gracie xTate (or Jax)

Estimated Breeding: December/January
​
Estimated Whelping: February/March

Estimated Go Home: April/May

 

We’re currently finalizing plans for Gracie’s upcoming litter, and while our intention is to pair her with Tate, we are also considering Jax as a potential sire. Gracie has had successful litters with both males in the past, and each pairing produced beautiful, well-rounded puppies with excellent structure, intelligence, and temperament. The final decision will be based on interest in specific coloring and energy levels, as the two pairings offer slightly different outcomes. Puppies from Gracie and Jax tend to grow a bit larger and typically have light to medium golden coats with a moderate energy level, making them wonderful choices for families or individuals looking for calm, steady companions. On the other hand, puppies from Gracie and Tate are usually smaller in stature, with darker golden coloring and a higher energy level, making them ideal for more active homes or those interested in dog sports and outdoor adventures. Whichever male we ultimately choose, we’re confident that this litter will produce intelligent, affectionate, and versatile puppies that thrive in a variety of environments. Both Jax and Tate are proven sires with strong, healthy lines, and Gracie continues to pass on her sweet and confident nature to each of her pups.

Estimated Breeding: TBD
​
Estimated Whelping: TBD

Estimated Go Home: TBD

 

We’re excited to announce the upcoming first litter for Nala, a fourth-generation girl born and raised here at Rooster Valley. Nala represents years of thoughtful breeding and dedication to temperament, structure, and sound genetics, and we’re incredibly proud to see her carry on our program’s legacy.

At this time, Nala’s heat cycle remains unpredictable, so her estimated breeding date is listed as TBD. We are closely monitoring her cycle and will provide updates as soon as timing becomes more clear.

When the time comes, we will be choosing between Tate or Rocky as the sire for her first litter. Both males bring different strengths to the pairing, and we will make the final decision based on compatibility and breeding goals when the cycle begins. Regardless of which male is selected, we are confident that this pairing will produce puppies with outstanding temperaments, intelligence, and the classic golden retriever charm.

This is a very special litter for us, as it marks the continuation of the amazing lines we’ve built over multiple generations.
