The Patriot Service Dog TrainingTeam enjoying our Country Goldens! |
The Patriot Service Dog Team of Trainers comes to evaluate our puppies. They do a series of simple tests that help to determine the temperament and ability of each puppy. It is very important to us that they choose the right puppy so that the puppy can actually complete this training and make a placement. This organization raises and trains the puppies that we donate for 2 years. After they have completed their training and health evaluations they are placed with a wounded Veteran. We are wanting to raise enough funds to sponsor each of our puppies for the full 2 years. The total cost of full Sponsorship is $2500. This expense falls onto the puppy raiser if enough funds are not generated through donations and fund raisers. If this is something you feel led to help with you can contact me anytime or go to their site and make a donation. Any amount is helpful and will be put towards puppy raising costs such as vetting, flea and heartworm prevention, neutering, training and socializing events, traveling costs, and food. Visit there site for more info about them and donations. Thank you for any help you can offer.Billy and I feel like this is a very worthy cause and consider it a privilege to be able to donate quality puppies to this group. This is one reason that we raise these dogs…
Goldens are born to serve, and we are all happiest when we walk in our gifts…
Please pray that our Country Golden/Patriot Service Dog puppies can accomplish all of the many things that will be required of them. This is a lenghty process. We want them to graduate from this program and be a blessing to our wounded Veterans. We want them to make a difference…

Does the puppy stick close? You bet! |
The Chosen One- Rosebud and Stryker male |
Choosing is never easy. All of our puppies do well with this temperament testing. Patriot Service Dog Team chooses by determining which puppy did the best overall, and does that puppy respond and interact positvely with the trainer that will be raising it. The puppy that was chosen from this litter is a male and will be raised and trained by one of the owners and founders of Patriot Service Dogs, Susan Bolton.
We have named this puppy "Country Golden's Justice For All". He will be called Justice.
He is our 2nd donated puppy to this program.

Raising a Service Dog is no small thing. These trainers pour their heart and souls into these special dogs for 2 years. Once the dog graduates, it is time to say good-bye and good luck. These dogs will then move on to do what they have been trained to do. They will Serve those that have SERVED US, and they will give Freedom back to one that has fought for OUR FREEDOM.
