Our Upcoming Litters
At 16 Paws Goldens, we are planning two litters in late Fall / early Winter 2025. There is a strong chance we will have puppies ready to go home during Christmas season. Each litter is carefully planned to uphold our high standards of health and temperament.

Let’s create a golden rainbow with two perfect 100% European dogs! Kala will be paired with Toby and we anticipate stunning show quality coats with big blocky heads and a gorgeous top line. The temperament of this litter will be on the mellow side with a strong potential for therapy dogs and a great partner to be by your side while you gladly take a hike or cuddle on the couch. This is a full European lineage and will benefit from a 40% less statistical chance of acquiring cancer in their lifetime. This will be Kala’s retirement litter.
Estimated Ready late December 2025.

Stella, our beloved English Cream Golden Retriever, is paired with Teddy, another magnificent English Cream companion owned by River Heights Goldens. This anticipated pairing promises a litter of athletic puppies adorned with stunning, thick coats and robust physical structures. With a medium low temperament, these puppies are tailor-made for active families seeking loyal and playful companions. Furthermore, their inherent agility and sporting potential make them ideal candidates for families involved in various activities, ensuring a harmonious blend of athleticism and affection. This lineage is a blend of European, Russian and US descendants.
Estimated Ready early January 2026.
