Our obstacle course begins at 3-4 weeks of age. This encourages the puppies to explore their surroundings and challenge themselves. We constantly change textures the puppies feel with their paws and introduce puppies to strains and other challenges - but it's all disguised as play, so it's FUN!

We let the mother wean the puppies herself, as we've found that this makes for a more confident, secure personality.

This is for people who have done their research, and are ready to commit to SGGR as their breeder, as well as have paid their deposit to be guaranteed a puppy from a particular litter.
We cannot guarantee sex of puppy
prior to birth. However, we will do everything within our power to honor your preferences.
SGGR's Payment Option
Once puppies are born, we require that you pay in full. Otherwise, you must request our payment program at the time of reservation. Payments are due according to the schedule below...
• For those already on the Reservation List prior to birth of the litter (and, therefore, have already paid their $500 deposit): $1,000 due once puppies are born.
• For those that would like to be added to the Reservation List AFTER the birth of the litter (and, therefore, have not paid the $500 deposit): $1,500 due
• Final balance is due when puppies turn 7 weeks old. (If you are unsure of your balance, please contact us to verify.)
Visits, Pick Up & Delivery
Visitations with your puppy starting at 4 weeks of age are not only welcome, but encouraged. Prior to that, we post daily and weekly pictures and videos on our FaceBook page: www.facebook.com/spungoldgr
When you do visit, please be prepared to wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting soiled. When you arrive, you will be required to take off your shoes prior to entering the building, and must wash your hands before you can go in with the puppies. VERY IMPORTANT: You must have NO CONTACT with unvaccinated animals prior to your visit. (We stringently guard our vulnerable young puppies against any harmful pathogens, especially the deadly Parvovirus.)
You can finally bring your new puppy home at 8 weeks of age! If you cannot come to pick up your puppy, we offer multiple delivery options for an additional cost. Please contact us ahead of time to make arrangements and discuss pricing.
Early Neurological Stimulation
Super Puppies!
At SGGR, our ultimate goal is to provide our forever families with the best puppies possible. This means introducing our puppies from day 3 to countless sounds, volumes, textures, animals, people, stimulations, experiences and fun! A well socialized puppy is not only healthier and happier; it makes for the perfect pet!
A large part of our program starts with Early Neurological Stimulation. ENS exercises are performed from days 3 through 16, and has been proven to have many benefits over the lifetime of the dog, including improved cardiovascular performance (heart rate), stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glads, more tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease. In terms of learning, the pups are more active and exploratory and are better in competitive situations, as well as display increased problem solving skills.
ENS Training
From research we have included below, along with the results from years of studies by the U.S. Military Canine Program, we know that the interval of time between day 3 and 16 is the most crucial window of time for the rapid development and growth of the neurological system in puppies. For these first few days, these very young puppies’ eyes are closed and they are only able to suck, smell, and crawl. To encourage our puppies neurological growth and development, we follow a program created by the military called “Bio-Sensor” or later termed “Super Puppy” training which, according to studies, will give dogs a superior advantage in life.
Documented Benefits of Early Neurological Stimulation:
Improved cardiovascular performance
Stronger heart beats
Stronger adrenal glands
More tolerance to stress
Greater resistance to disease
Tests proved these “Super Puppies” were found to be more active and more exploratory than non-stimulated puppies. It was also noted that the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined, and made many errors. The puppies that received ENS were less upset by test conditions. They found the ENS puppies were calmer, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed.
From days 3–16, our family performs this neurological stimulation for all of our SGGR puppies. We follow the Bio Sensor Workout, which includes 5 simple exercises for 3-5 seconds each. These exercises will produce neurological stimulations due to small amounts of stress, none of which naturally occur during this early period of life.
