    Standard Canine Genetic Health Screening

    Panels test for mutations associated with various inherited diseases, including those that can affect lifespan, quality of life, or require specific treatments, which is essential for ensuring the health of your AKC Golden Retriever pedigree. A "Clear" result means the dog does not carry the specific genetic mutations linked to certain diseases or conditions, indicating that the dog is not at risk of developing those conditions and will not pass the abnormal gene to its offspring. A "Carrier" refers to a dog that has inherited a copy of a recessive gene mutation for a specific genetic disorder but does not show symptoms of the condition themselves. While not affected by the condition, they can still pass the mutated gene to their offspring, which is important to consider for breeding working lineage golden retrievers. An "affected" result indicates that the dog possesses the specific gene variant linked to a particular disorder, highlighting the importance of Golden Retriever health screening.

    About the Name

    The River Eden is a river that flows through Cumbria, England. It rises on Black Fell Moss, near the village of Outhgill, and runs in a generally north-westerly direction through the Vale of Eden and Solway Plain before reaching the sea at the Solway Firth. 


    Scotland was home to a variety of working dogs from as early as the 13th and 14th centuries, with many breeds being indigenous to the region. Additionally, a handful of breeds were introduced by traders, visitors, and invaders. 


    Among these breeds is a truly Scottish one that originated during the 19th century, emerging from retrievers who were traditionally used as hunting companions across the Highlands and beyond. These working lineage golden retrievers have a rich history, emphasizing their purpose and utility. 


    Born in Scotland and imported to the USA at just 10 weeks old, Ailsa comes from a long history of working goldens, featuring an AKC Golden Retriever pedigree that highlights her lineage. Her breeder, a retired gamekeeper, ensured that Ailsa underwent golden retriever health screening to maintain her lineage's health standards. 


    In the United Kingdom, a gamekeeper (often abbreviated to keeper) is responsible for managing an area of countryside—such as woodland, moorland, waterways, or farmland—to ensure a sustainable population of game for hunting and fish for fishing, acting as a guide to those pursuing them.

    Foundation Training


    SIT - HEEL - HOLD - COME - NO - DOWN - UP - Leash Training - Socialization


    Everything I train for with my AKC Golden Retriever pedigree is built from these simple, but essential commands.


    Bird Introduction (build prey drive) * Whistle commands * Swim Work * Steady to Shot * Decoy Intro * Marking drills on land and water * Single Marks/Retrieves * Upland Training * Dead bird work primarily with ducks/pheasants * Practice hunting situations * Proper Gun Introduction Kenneling * Sit (sit means sit, no stay needed) * Here * Front to Side Heel Walking Heel * Hunt Command * Nose Work. These techniques are vital for ensuring the Golden Retriever health screening and developing skills in working lineage golden retrievers.
