Firefly's Retrievers Nothing takes the stress out of life better than a Firefly’s puppy. Small family kennel, breeding for great health and longevity.

Firefly's Retrievers is a small family kennel dedicated to showing and breeding the finest Retrievers. Our retriever puppies range in color from nearly white to pale blonde and gold, and not to forget our up and coming Flatcoats. They are exceptionally mellow, loving, relaxed with great temperament. We believe that the value of being hand-raised in a family environment cannot be overstated, and therefore we raise all of our Retriever puppies in our home. We absolutely love our sweet little Teddy Bear retrievers. I am certain once you learn about them, you will love them just as much as we do. Retrievers are an intelligent and obedient family companions. They are everybody's friend and devoted to their family. They are friendly towards children, other dogs and pets, and easy with strangers. They are social dogs, happiest when they are with people. Their intelligence, eagerness to please, and love of learning make them very easy to train. We welcome visitors to our home in Kansas City, MO, so if you ever want to visit, please give us a call! There are some restrictions to protect our girls and puppies. Visit our web to see lots of pictures at Fireflysgoldens.com.

🩵🐾 A Little Update on Teal… Sweet Firefly’s Sadie! 🐾🩵

Sadie’s very first vet visit was a little RUFF! 😂🩺💙

What was supposed to be a quick visit turned into a little longer stay thanks to all the “Oooohs, awwws, and just one more look at that precious baby!” 🥹💕

Miss Teal was definitely the center of attention, and let’s just say she’s already mastered the art of stealing hearts wherever she goes! 💖🐶

Life is tough when you’re this cute, Firefly’s Sadie! 🩵😘

Love watching our little Firefly babies grow and make everyone fall in love! ✨🐾💙

Please join me in praying for the grieving family of Firefly’s Beaux in the sudden unexpected tragic loss.
(Cause of death we wish to keep confidential to respect the family)
He had the most loving family that loved him deep.
May God wrap his loving arms around them as they grieve. 💔
Beaux was not just a pup he was family. 🌺

This is another reason why not to spay or neuter before the age of two. Firefly’s has always recommended to wait until age 2 💕🐾

✂️🥜🐶 WHAT IF WHEN YOU SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR DOG MATTERS JUST AS MUCH AS WHETHER YOU DO IT?

Preventing unwanted litters matters. But is it time to rethink HOW we sterilize dogs? Hormone-sparing procedures, including hysterectomy and vasectomy, can prevent reproduction while preserving natural s*x hormones.

🔬 NEW 2026 PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH

Over 10 years, researchers reviewed records from 56,254 veterinary patients, including 313 dogs with mast cell tumors and 638 tumor-free comparison dogs. The study was accepted for publication in The Veterinary Journal.

🤯 1. TIMING MATTERS!

Dogs spayed or neutered before age 2 had 343% higher odds of a mast cell tumor diagnosis compared with intact dogs. Dogs sterilized after age 2 showed no statistically significant increase.

🐕 2. SIZE MATTERS!

Compared with small dogs, medium dogs had 2.6 times the odds and large dogs 5.2 times the odds.

⚖️ 3. WEIGHT MATTERS!

Overweight dogs had 80% higher odds than dogs at an ideal weight.

🧬 4. BREED MATTERS!

Compared with mixed-breed dogs, American Pit Bull Terriers had 7.5 times the odds and Boxers 3.9 times. Some breed groups were small.

❤️ 5. WHAT ABOUT SURVIVAL?

Neutering status wasn’t significantly associated with survival after surgery. Tumor grade and size were more important predictors.

🔬 WHY MIGHT HORMONES MATTER?

S*x hormones influence immune function and development. Researchers propose that early hormone removal and changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) may play a role, but this remains unproven.

🐾 THE BIG TAKEAWAY

Preventing unwanted litters doesn’t always mean removing hormone-producing organs. It’s time for individualized conversations with veterinarians about WHEN and HOW we sterilize dogs.
