Southern Belle Goldens Albertville, AL 35950
Rayne
Rayne is absolutely precious. This baby is so calm and has the sweetest manners. She will sit and wait to be loved on, she's not too pushy. Her puppies would make great candidates for therapy/emotional support work.
Rayne is around 65 lbs
This girl loves her toys, and the water! She’s so loving and gentle with our kids.
Rayne is a carrier for ICH and PRA1, she will only be bred to clear males.
Rayne's puppies are not eligible for breeding rights and will be sold as pet only.
Please scroll down below to learn more about ICH and PRA1 and what we are doing to keep our puppies from being affected from this.
This pedigree actually belongs to River, which is Rayne's full litter mate. So they share the same pedigree.
Knowledge is Power
What is ichthyosis?
Since I am not a scientist, I'm going to leave it to the pros to explain it. There is a link to Animal Genetics' website attached to the "learn more" button, it will tell you all about Ichthyosis.
What I want to explain is, now that we have the knowledge about what it is and how it is passed on, what do we do about it as breeders?
Southern Belle Goldens has made the commitment to not pair two carriers together. Also, when we have a litter with one carrier parent, if we have someone who wants breeding rights from that litter, SBG will pay to test each individual puppy for ICH, and only clear puppies will be considered for full rights. We will do this in efforts to stop the further spread of ICH in our breed. It is far too common for something that can be avoided. And I will be the first to admit we were part of the problem until we knew better.
****I wanted to clarify, for Rayne, since she is a carrier for two things, we have decided we will not offer offer breeding rights on her puppies and her pups will be sold as pet homes only.****
