Please keep in mind the following: Family Golden Retrievers has evolved into a family of reputable, good, honest golden retriever breeders across  Currently in our network Contact us . To learn more about this family of breeders.

THE PROCESS

1. Puppy Application

Please complete the puppy application form.

2. Application Approval

Once your application has been approved, we ask that you read, and complete the deposit agreement.

3. Pay Your Deposit

4. Send your  deposit ($350 on each puppy) via Our Adoption Payment information,  (message us for address).

5. Understanding Deposit List VS Reservations List

Reservation List: Both litter and gender specific reservation. It is usually three male and three female per litter.

Deposit List: General list with specific notes from you on your application (i.e. “red female”). If you are on this list, you get the first choice to reservations as they come available. This can be by way of new litter announcements, cancellations, and litters born with more than three males and three females.

Important to note: Your name is not on any sort of list unless you have paid the $300 deposit.

6. Once committed to a specific litter, wait for it to be announced

Usually if you see a pic of Mom and Dad side by side it means they have been successfully bred. Once this occurs, we will have a better time frame of when pups can be picked up by their forever families!

7. Watch your puppy grow through social media

We will do our best to update you weekly through pics, and videos. A highlight on instagram will be dedicated solely to your litter.

Important to note: We allow visits by appointment only!

8. Puppy Pick Up

Within a week or two of pick up, you will be assigned a time to go and pick out and pick up your puppy. This is usually a 30-45 minute timeframe. Please be on time, with your remaining balance in cash, cashiers check (please ask Mark who to make it out to). Venmo is no longer allowed as a payment method for pick up day.
