Getting to Know Each Other

Once you have made a deposit and secured your "Pick of the Litter," we will email you to schedule a chat to get to know each other. If you have any social media sites that you would like to share with us, please include the links in your email. 

Note: If, after our "getting to know you" conversation, we determine that our puppies would not be a good fit for you and your family, we will completely refund your deposit.

Below is a list of questions and topics we would like to discuss. Please feel free to be prepared with your questions. 

1. We do not ship our puppies but require the families to pick them up. What plans do you have to pick up your new puppy?
2. Tell us about where you live. House? Apartment? Yard? Etc.
3. Is this your first puppy? Is this your first Golden Retriever? How many other pets do you have? 
4. Tell us about your family size. Any kids? If so, how many? What is the family schedule?
5. What do you plan on feeding your puppy/dog? 
6. Do you have a local veterinarian you plan on using for all your puppy/dog care?
7. Are you adopting a dog for breeding? Your contract with us requires your puppy to be spayed or neutered. We only adopt puppies with a limited AKC registration status. Click the link to find out more information about what that means. 
8. What if you cannot keep your dog? We want the puppy that you adopt from us to come back to us if it is ever necessary. We extend lifetime responsibility and will take back the puppy or dog a family can no longer care for. 
9. Would you have a problem with keeping in touch with us for the life of the dog? We strongly encourage that we become and remain friends over the entire lifetime of our puppies. We want to be friends on all social media to stay in touch. We always want to hear and see how our pups are doing and to know if our program is producing great family members. 

Reserving Your Puppy

• Note: Because inflation has hit us all pretty hard recently, we are reducing our price from $3,090 to $2,575 (17%) to offer a little break from all the other high costs we must pay. 
  The total price for adopting one of our puppies is $2,575. When you decide to adopt one of our puppies, we require a deposit of $515 to reserve your pick of the litter. Reserve your place in line. Reservations are first come, first choice. A final payment of $2,060 (including transaction fee) is due before pick up. 
  
  Note: You must select a boy or girl when making a deposit.
  

• We will confirm your place in line once we receive your deposit. 

• Your deposit, less the 3% transaction fee, is fully refundable if you change your mind before making a puppy selection and decide not to adopt. When you make a selection, we hold your puppy in reserve. Your deposit becomes non-refundable if you choose not to adopt later. Once the puppies are reserved, we will turn away potential families wanting to adopt. This policy ensures we only get families that are 100 percent committed. 

• If you have doubts about adopting a puppy, please do not reserve one. We appreciate your understanding.
