🎉 We Have Puppies on the Way!

We’re thrilled to announce that Allya is officially pregnant! 💕 Her ultrasound confirmed what we were hoping—little puppy toe beans on the way!

This is a very special litter, thoughtfully planned with the goal of producing puppies with the temperament, health, structure, and trainability to thrive in service dog roles and as exceptional, well-adjusted companions. We are so excited for this pedigree! 🫶

Allya has been an incredible example of intelligence, steadiness, and sweetness—and we can’t wait to see those qualities passed on to the next generation. Sire, Mortimer, is a lovely inside-and-out champion show dog. Both parents are fully OFA health and genetic clearanced. Allya possesses the top 5% hip scores for the breed via pennHIP amongst other incredible qualities.

This is Allya’s first litter. Puppies are expected to arrive around July 23-26th.

🐕 As Certified Professional Dog Trainers, we take pride in our intentional puppy raising protocols to shape THE best puppies out there! We use early scent introduction and early neurological stimulation the first few days of life, daily individual handling, and age appropriate socialization goals each week through a combination of Puppy Culture and AviDog procedures and over a decade of experience in raising puppies to be service dogs. We begin crate training, potty training, clicker training, sound desensitization, exposure to novel sights and environments, grooming intro, car exposure, and more.

We welcome applicants to meet with us and our wonderful dogs in Houston, TX!✨

You will find our stories posted here every day. Stay tuned as we share more updates along the way. If you’re interested in bringing a well-socialized well-bred Sunbuilt Golden puppy home, we’re scheduling interviews starting next week. We might have a spot that’s opened up!

At the heart of our program is a commitment to excellence in early puppy development. We utilize ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation), ESI (Early Scent Introduction), Puppy Culture, and the AVIDOG Transformational Puppy Rearing Protocols to give our puppies the best possible start in life. As experienced Certified Professional Dog Trainers and service dog specialists of nearly 15 years, we bring a unique perspective and standard of care to every puppy we raise.

Our puppies begin life in our bedroom and gradually transition to other areas of our home, ensuring they’re constantly surrounded by the sights, sounds, and routines of daily life. We conduct daily handling like weigh-ins, nail trims every 3 days, baths and blow drys at least weekly, all of which help build confidence and handling tolerance from an early age.

Socialization is intensive and purposeful guided by professional trainers and carefully structured interactions with the public and future puppy families. We utilize positive training, as a result, our puppies are confident, resilient, stable, affectionate, intelligent, and healthy—ideal candidates for service dog, therapy dog, or exceptional companion or sport roles.

Our puppies are purposefully bred to balance drive and temperament—possessing the enthusiasm and athleticism to excel in retrieves and sports, while also having a reliable “off switch” that makes them a joy to live with as family companions. Our dogs are generally described as “medium” energy and “easy.”

For our upcoming litter, we are aiming high: this litter comes from two conformationally correct and complementary parents, thoughtfully paired with the goal of producing puppies suitable for service roles. Both parent dogs are fully health tested up to date and have earned titles that speak to their structure, temperament, and biddability.

This breeding represents a deliberate blend of lines—merging the soundness and temperament typical of Assistance Dogs International (ADI) Breeding Cooperative service dog stock with the elegance and correctness of conformation bloodlines.

Part 1: Presents! Part 2: Coming Soon! 🎉 Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, smart, sweet, and lovable Reina! 🖤🐾 This amazing girl has brought so much joy, love, and laughter to my life and our crew of Goldens. She truly lives up to her name—she’s a *queen*! 👑

Today we celebrated her with love, treats, and fun alongside her Golden buddies. I feel so incredibly blessed and lucky to have such an incredible dog from @b.e.s.t.sd She’s truly everything I could’ve dreamed of and more. 💕

As she continues to grow and shine, we’re looking forward to seeing if she’ll join our breeding program to carry on her exceptional service qualities. No matter what, Reina, you are *one of a kind* and so deeply loved! Cheers to many more years of adventures with you! 🐾❤️

Reminder: Staring at a service dog doesn’t make you more ‘dog-savvy.’ Just makes you weird. 👀 Anyways,

POV: So you don’t have to be sneaky and casually drop something or pretend to tie your shoe to see a service dog working up close. 😉😅😂🤣🫣🐾🦮

Well we finally are posting the ‘D’essert’s 7-week old photos now that we’ve gained internet back after the hurricane! We’ve been surviving almost a week without power, feeding the pups in their crates, clicker training, taking them for car rides, socializing them with the big dogs, continuing desensitization to sounds, having fun playing and running through protocols. We had temperament tests performed by the amazing trainers at Paw Up Agility and conformation evaluations by the incredible Peggy DeMers. I cannot thank them enough for their insight into our pups as individuals and thorough process. These ladies had nothing but such eye-watering, complimentary things to say about our litter! We couldn’t be more proud and flattered. We have a show prospect, Soufflé, and are open to partnering up with the right individual/kennel. DM us if you feel you might be interested in showcasing our boy! We will post updates on 8 week photos hopefully soon but are currently handling the aftermath of the hurricane and trying to match our pups to their families! #sunbuiltretrievers #sunbuilt #futureservicedogs #servicedogprospect #servicedogintraining #sdit #ethicalbreeder #purebred #akcgoldenretriever #goldenretrieverbreeder #houston #puppyculture #puppyculturebreeder #avidog #professionaldogtrainer #servicedogtrainer #goldensofinsta #goldenpuppies #certifiedprofessionaldogtrainer

We had to say good bye and safe travels to Puddin and Truffle who are flying out with Joyful Paws Service Dogs! 🙏 ✈️ It’s so tough as a breeder to let go but we know they’re in great hands. We think the world of Kasey and her program. Not much has gone according to plan though lately. We haven’t been able to post 7 week old photos, didn’t get 8 week old photos, or share updates on the temperament tests or show evaluation. It’s certainly not been ideal. We are still being impacted from Hurricane Beryl and without power but we couldn’t risk the pups getting over the weight limit to fly so off they went this evening. The rest of the litter is still here since our vet is closed. We are grateful for the trust my puppy families have in me and how understanding they’ve all been. It’s been challenging to say the least and we hope it’s over soon. We all are going to miss you babies! 🌀🦮 #sunbuiltretrievers #servicedogs #servicedog #servicedogintraining #futureservicedog #servicedogprospect #sdit #goldenretrieversofinstagram #goldenretrieverpuppy #puppiesofinstagram #texas #houston

Desserts are SIX weeks old! Look how precious they are 🥹 We’ve been busy moving our playpens and prepping for temperament testing soon in a room in a house they’ve never been to, individually clicker training, and hopefully will be going on outings soon (it’s so miserably hot)! It’s getting busy busy busy!! We are SOO very grateful to our helpers who play a huge part with molding these puppies. We couldn’t do everything we do with these 9 vivacious puppies without them! #sunbuiltretrievers #sunbuilt #futureservicedogs #servicedogprospect #servicedogintraining #sdit #ethicalbreeder #purebred #akcgoldenretriever #goldenretrieverbreeder #houston #ens #puppyculture #puppyculturebreeder #avidog#professionaldogtrainer #servicedogtrainer #goldensofinsta #goldenpuppies #certifiedprofessionaldogtrainer

The ‘D’esserts are five weeks old! 🍨 It’s been a jam-packed busy week. We’ve moved the puppies to a larger play pen with plenty of enrichment and activities ✅, been running through protocols such as the barrier challenge and puppy puppy (kissy sound) recall, pairing clicker sound and taking rewards from piping bag since we’re still on mush, seeing novel items and toys and playing on obstacles. We are now training pottying on the turf new area 🌱 from on pads. We received some diabetic samples and will begin imprinting as well 👃! We still listen to socialization sounds 👂, and have got to see the rain 🌧️ pour down as well! We will continue to work on shaping our puppies future! ⭐️ SOOO incredibly grateful for our incredible team of trainers and helpers. It truly takes a village and I cannot thank them enough. 🙏 Follow our stories for daily pictures and videos! .

These sweet ‘D’esserts babies are four weeks old! Oh goodness how time is flying by! We will be inviting a few people to come socialize with our puppies in person on Saturdays, so if you’d like to see if you can join, comment below and let us know! They’ve got some wonderfully sharp chompers and an insatiable appetite! We hope everyone will wear their coolest hat, costume or mask as a stipulation for attending 😉! The puppies started eating mush yesterday, have been seeing their daily novel box items, listening to socialization sounds such as but not limited to fireworks, busy cities, animal noises, had baths and blow dries, dremmeled nails, some intro to swimming, and meetings with the big dogs. We are so excited to begin the next steps in socialization and have you come be a part of it!! 🏡 🐾

Used to be the most exciting day but now it becomes a indication of limitations of our time on Earth and a reminder of the things you really wanted to do or accomplish by a certain age. I’ll be practicing gratitude for the positive things I’ve been blessed with like amazing people, dogs, experiences and things I have in my life and the goal to make the most of this! I aspire to make a positive impact each I’m in the world no matter how small! Hoping for a little extra sleep tomorrow 😜 It’s been non stop go-go-go the last month! #anotheryearolder #birthday #dogtrainer #dogbreeder #servicedogtrainer

🐾 Sunbuilt’s ‘D’esserts have entered into the Transitional Period!

From 2 to 3/4 weeks old, puppies enter the transitional period, a crucial stage in their development! During this period:

👀 Eyes and then ears open
🏃‍♀️ Toddling and walking
🥛 Lapping of milk
🦷 Tooth development
👩‍❤️‍👨 Social skills

With their eyes and ears opening, they’re becoming individuals and starting to experience the world around them. Watching puppies rapidly grow and explore is truly magical!🦮🫶
