Health Testing: Prioritizing the health of our breeding dogs, we conduct comprehensive screenings for genetic disorders common in Golden Retrievers, such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye conditions. Only dogs with clear health results are considered for breeding, promoting the long-term health of our puppies.
Pedigree and Lineage: Our breeding dogs come from pedigrees that emphasize health, temperament, and the qualities that define the Golden Retriever breed.
Comprehensive Care: Our parent dogs receive exceptional care, including regular veterinary check-ups, high-quality nutrition tailored to their needs, and a stimulating environment to promote their well-being.

We prioritize responsible ownership and ensure long-term commitment from new owners by offering ongoing support and guidance, including a minimum two-year health guarantee and lifetime assistance in behavioral and health-related matters.
Community Engagement:
We actively engage with a community of dog owners through educational initiatives, events, and open communication channels.
We foster a culture of respect and love for dogs, promoting responsible pet ownership and positive relationships within our community.
Our breeding practices are guided by our commitment to continually improve and evolve, based on feedback and advancements in animal welfare standards.
At Zaagi’ Pups, we believe that health is not just the absence of disease—it is the presence of vitality. We are fully committed to radical transparency regarding the health of our breeding stock, as we believe our clients deserve to know exactly what goes into the longevity and well-being of their future family member.
We go beyond basic veterinary checks by utilizing a multi-layered health framework:
Gold-Standard Clearances: We follow the highest industry standards by ensuring all breeding dogs have public, passing results in the OFA/CHIC databases for hips, elbows, cardiac health, and eyes. By choosing to make these results public, we hold ourselves accountable to the broader canine health community.
Proactive Genetic Screening: We utilize comprehensive DNA panels to screen for known hereditary conditions. This allows us to make informed, responsible breeding decisions that prioritize the physical integrity of our puppies.
The Importance of COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding): You may see us mention COI analysis. This is a scientific measure of genetic diversity. By carefully monitoring the COI of our matings, we work to avoid the common pitfalls of over-concentration of genes, which helps foster a more robust immune system and reduces the prevalence of recessive hereditary disorders.
We do not just breed for form; we breed for the future. Every test we run is a deliberate step toward ensuring your puppy enjoys a long, active, and healthy life by your side.
