Welcome to Snow Angel Retrievers.
All of our dogs are members of our family and have been raised in our home with each other, children and other pets (including cats). Our dogs have a strong work ethic as they love to come to work with us at our veterinary clinic, The Pet Pro, in Champaign Illinois. They stay behind the reception desk where our offices are located and enjoy greeting clients daily. And our clients LOVE them!

Newborn pups have the luxury of staying at home with their mother in our family room in a spacious birthing area…think of it as maternity leave. When we can't be with the new mom's and their pups, we arrange for puppy nanny’s to stay with them while we are at our clinic keeping healthy pets healthy and trying to heal those that are not. All of our puppies are microchipped on day 2 of life, so that we can positively identify each one at all times. Our behavioral training begins on their third day of life. We feel that it is important to expose the puppies to typical household sounds, people, toys, cats and other dogs when age appropriate on a regular basis. Recent studies have shown that genetics accounts for about 35% of the canine personality, but the remaining 65% (early appropriate stimulation, training, nutrition) is what makes the overall difference. Touching and handling the puppies is necessary to establish a confident human - animal bond. When our puppies leave our home at 8 weeks of age, they are ready for the world...and of course, you!
We also provide your puppy with one year of a major medical pet insurance plan. Having a veterinary clinic, we know that pup's can sometimes get into things that they should'nt or try to perform feats that are impossible...and end in injury. This policy is for the unexpected, just in case. Your new puppy is an important family investment. We want to help you protect your investment, because we care.
So what exactly do you call this breed? They are AKC registered as a golden retriever with a light or fair coloration. You will hear of them being described as European Creams, European Retrievers, British White Retrievers, Platinum Blondes, English Creams, English Retrievers and White Golden Retrievers. The bottom line is that they are definitely gorgeous, sweet, friendly family dogs that have the willingness to learn whatever you have the time and patience to teach them.
The gene pool for the English / European Cream Retriever is still somewhat narrow. We believe that breeders need to have some understanding of genetics to enhanced the breed. We are excited to be able to make available to you what we hope will be a perfect addition to your family. Our dogs that we breed have passed hip, eye and heart certifications. We have also researched each of their lineage for longevity and histories of health issues. Only the best dogs in terms of health and appearance are Snow Angel dogs!
We are always willing to help guide you through behavioral issues or any questions that might come up, because we want you and your new family member to be as happy as possible.
We have so enjoyed our dogs and invite you to check out our website so that you can enjoy them as well!
