Our Process
Join our Golden Family today! We believe in building strong relationships with our clients. We require that you complete an interest form found on our home page and then we can have a conversation to answer all of your questions, to discuss your expectations and for us to get to know you so we can make the most informed recommendations on the right puppy for you. This helps us ensure that our puppies thrive in their new homes. As we approach the birth of our puppies, we’ll have you complete a reservation form to confirm your interest in the upcoming litter and we will keep you updated on how momma is doing. Once the puppies are born, we will contact you again to finalize your desire for a puppy from that litter. You'll be placed on our list in the order we received your reservation form which we will email to you and we will assign you a spot for either a male or female puppy based on your request. Please remember that due to high demand we cannot offer two puppies from the same litter a single household at this time.

At our facility, we understand that the journey with every puppy begins from day one. Selecting the right puppy for buyer's lifestyle is crucial, and we gather comprehensive information to make informed decisions. Each puppy receives daily exposure to various stimuli, ensuring they develop into stable and well-rounded companions. We initiate training as early as 2 days old with Bio-Sensor training, a program utilized by the US Military, and continue with Volhard Testing at 3 weeks to assess their reflexes and resilience. By 7 weeks, we analyze the scores from both programs to identify the top candidate for service dog training.
Deposits** We begin accepting deposits when our puppies are one week old and thriving. It’s our priority to ensure each puppy's-well being before any financial commitment is made. Please wait for us to offer you a puppy and request your deposit. Once your deposit is submitted, your puppy is reserved; however, it is important to note that the deposit is non-refundable unless an unforeseen circumstance arises. In such cases, you can choose between a refund or transferring your deposit to a future litter.
Puppy Visits - We know you're excited to meet our adorable puppies! However, we kindly ask that you wait until they are 4 to 5 weeks old before visiting. During their initial weeks, we focus on daily testing and to minimize stress for the mothers. Once the puppies are old enough, you'll be more than welcome to come and enjoy all the puppy cuddles and those irresistible puppy breaths!
