Labrador and Golden Retrievers.

Tangram Kennels started in 1979 when we acquired our first Golden retriever female from Lochvier Kennels in Virginia. “Panda” whose official name was, Ch Ven. Pto Rico Lochvier’s Caracas Panda Ven., Am. Pto Rico CD, came from wonderful “old fashioned lines” with many show, obedience and hunting titled dogs in her background. She was the first of several Golden Retrievers and later Labradors we imported to Venezuela.

Needless to say all these years of rearing, training and loving many dogs brought us a lot of joy and happiness. Many Champions and High in Trials and most important, really wonderful pets. Our greatest success, we believe, is having people come back for another puppy after their previous one had died, saying they could only come back to us for another dog.

But we also had a lot of grief and sorrow when some of our dogs died at an early age of cancer or when we suffered together with them and their skin problems and “allergies”.

So, in our endless quest for their well-being we investigated more and more on natural rearing. We changed their diets to a raw biologically appropriate food,  embraced holistic medicine and changed our deworming and vaccination protocol. The change has been short of miraculous.

Our old dogs have regained new strength and energy. Chronic ear infections, permanent itchy skins, hot spots, tartar build up in teeth, doggy odor and excessive shedding have all DISAPPEARED.

Every single dog in our household is now free of medication. Our last three litters have been raised naturally since they where in their moms uterus and the puppies are so healthy.

We only breed one litter a year so please contact us if you are interested in a naturally reared puppy. Meanwhile hope you enjoy our pictures!
