How to Reserve a mini Golden Puppy with Us

Step 1: Submit an Application Below

 Start by filling out our Puppy Application located below. Please double check which puppy application you are filling out to make sure it is specifically for our Mini Goldens. This helps us get to know you, your lifestyle, and what you're hoping for in a puppy so we can ensure a good match. 


Please be aware, for the safety of our dogs and the privacy of our home, we do not allow any visits to meet our dogs unless you’ve submitted an approved application, placed a reservation fee, and have a specific litter that you have been assigned to. This helps protect our young puppies from outside germs and prevents unnecessary stress on our mamas. Families will be invited by appointment only to visit on Puppy Pick Day at 6 weeks old. We’re happy to offer a FaceTime call beforehand if that helps you feel more comfortable before placing a deposit.

Step 2: Application Review & Approval

 Once we receive your application, we should get an email alert to let us know it has been submitted. We’ll review it and follow up if we have any questions. If your application is approved, you’ll receive a confirmation along with next steps to place your reservation.  PLEASE BE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RESERVATION PROCESS INCLUDING THE WAITLIST/RESERVATION FEE AT THE TIME YOU SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. 


If you have not heard back from us within three days, please follow up with a text and let us know you have submitted your application. (The Holiday's are especially busy and may take some extra time to respond to puppy/waitlist applications) 619-971-8513

Step 3: Place Your Reservation Fee

 Once your completed application is approved, to secure your spot on our Master Waitlist for our Mini Goldens, we require a non-refundable $500 fee to reserve your placement. Once a litter is born and you’ve been notified of availability, that fee will be applied to your total remaining balance that is due on Puppy Go-Home Day. 

Step 4: Watch for Litter Announcements

 When a litter is born and we’ve confirmed the number of available puppies, we begin offering spots to our Master Waitlist in the order reservations were received. You’ll be contacted by text or email when a litter/puppy becomes available to you. 

Step 5: Puppy Matching & Pick Day

  Families who move forward with a current litter will meet the puppies in person on Puppy Pick Day, typically held when the puppies are 6 weeks old. Puppy selections are made in the order reservation fees were first received.  


Please note: the Breeder always retains the right to first pick of either gender, which may be exercised up until 6 weeks old to keep a puppy back for future breeding in our program. If the breeder decides not to keep a puppy from that litter, this right may be waived.

Step 6: Go-Home Day

Puppies go home at minimum 8 weeks old. Final payment is due IN CASH at pickup (no forms of digital payment, check, money order, or card can be accepted). 


Our puppies will go home with a puppy informational folder, a blanket that smells of their litter and mama, 30 days of free pet insurance with TruPanion, their first round of age-appropriate vaccines, current deworming, a one-year genetic health guarantee, and a Vet Exam that has cleared them ready for their forever homes. 

Mini Golden Puppy Application

We adore our puppy families, but to protect our home, children, and young puppies, we do not allow in-person visits unless we have an approved puppy application, a reservation in place, and an appointment scheduled. We are more than happy to virtually meet should you need to feel more confident about placing a reservation with us for an intended puppy. Thank you for understanding and supporting responsible breeding.

Please feel free to text or call with any questions you may have!
