Astro (AKC name: Pecan Orchard's Houston Astro) is a male Golden Retriever puppy, born June 28, 2026 to our AKC-registered pair, Kai and Koa, and raised in our home by Pecan Orchard Goldens, a small family program on a pecan orchard and pond property just outside Pearland, Texas. He's a true medium golden in color, with a friendly, confident temperament — he's been out exploring the yard and orchard daily and is completely comfortable being handled.
HOW OUR PUPPIES ARE RAISED
Every puppy in this litter had Early Neurological Stimulation on days 3 through 16, then hands-on socialization every day, including time in the orchard and around the pond. We hold every puppy until 12 weeks, never earlier, so they stay with mom and littermates through the first fear period (about 8 to 11 weeks) and come home calmer, more confident, and already working on bite inhibition and dog-to-dog manners. This litter reached 12 weeks on September 20, 2026, so Astro is ready to go home now.
HEALTH
Both parents have been evaluated for hips, elbows, heart and eyes, and we share every result with each buyer, including the dam's preliminary hip report. Astro has had a veterinary exam and age-appropriate vaccinations. We are enrolled in AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. and are members of the Greater Houston Golden Retriever Club.
