Potential Puppy Owner Questions:
The following questions are being asked of you, so that the right puppy and the right placement of each puppy is made by bringing the various requirements of both the puppy and new owner(s) into perspective, BEFORE a choice is made. I hope you will agree that the animal’s welfare must be the foremost importance in considering a placement. Thank you for your inquiry about owning one of our Golden Retriever puppies.
Below are some questions that will help us to get to know you. Note that the more information you can provide, the better we will be able to help you determine the best puppy for your situation and whether a Golden Retriever puppy from us will be the best option for you. Puppies will be evaluated at 6-7 Weeks and placements will be made at that time by the Breeder.
