All our Momma and Papa dogs, and their parentage, have OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) clearances, proof of healthy; Hearts, Elbows, Eyes, and Hips. Preliminary testing may be done at 1 year of age. Testing for final OFA clearances requires a dog to be at least 2 years of age. Our dogs are also DNA tested for parentage and health. All adopted puppies are required to be spayed/neutered by the time they are 2 years of age unless otherwise arranged.
While our dogs are waiting to become parents, they receive basic, intermediate and advanced training, including skills needed to become Full Access Service Dogs. Our ladies typically have 2 litters before they begin their service dog duties. All of our dogs leave home after they are spayed or neutered. We occasionally have high-quality puppies available for adoption to approved pet, therapy or service dog homes.
Before 2024 none of our dogs were available to the general public. What changed? As the primary owner of Pawsitive Action Dog Training, LLC (DBA Golden Labradors of York) Norma is now semi retired and is the full-time caregiver for her elderly mom. She is still training and breeding, but not traveling. To see A LOT of our past and current working/breeding dogs, please visit the GALLERY on this site or visit www.pawsitiveaction.org and check out our Facebook Pages: the newer Pawsitive Action Service Dogs or the older Pawsitive Action Foundation to see many of our dogs.
Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers
Golden Labs?? Goldadors??
There are Goldens and there are Labradors. They are two of our favorite breeds and we do have AKC registered dogs of both breeds for your consideration. Why then do we have Golden Labs? Thirty years ago I was introduced to a mix of the two retrievers through the largest service dog organization in the US. These "Golden Labs" seemed to possess the best traits of each breed. As an "old AKC show person" this was a challenging and thoughtful decision for me. After one very, very planned breeding, I was hooked. This combo is fantastic and seems to be a pure "magic" mix for service dogs.

Our Breeding Principles
With 45 years of experience in showing and raising champion show dogs, transitioning to establish a quality bloodline for our service dog program was a natural choice. I understand the importance of healthy, happy dogs that thrive on learning and interacting with people. Health clearances are standard in the dog show community, and I continuously strive to increase my knowledge in canine reproductive health. My experience working at various veterinary hospitals has helped me ensure our breeding dogs and puppies remain in optimal physical and mental condition. I do not breed for specific coat colors or length of coat. I focus on genetics that will potentially produce healthy, structurally sound dogs with great personalities. Our dogs are not "the new trend" or "designer dogs" they are carefully and methodically bred to potentially produce great Service Dogs or amazing pets. The reason you will see several european bred dogs in our pedigrees is, in my opinion, appear to be healthier and appear to live longer than our current american bred dogs. I also like the physical structure of the european bred dogs.
Why show dogs? If I am looking at a six generation pedigree it is impossible for me to personally know what all the dogs really looked like or if they had great personalities. If the ancestors of our pups where show dogs I can assume those dogs had great coats, no or few allergies, were structurally as close to "amazing" as possible and certainly were not overly shy or aggressive.We do line breed our dogs, establishing physical type and stability in personality. We out-cross to unrealated dogs as needed.
