We're so excited that you're interested in getting a Golden! We truly believe that they are the best breed out there, adaptable to nearly every lifestyle. Even if you end up not getting a Golden from us, we hope you find out why "gold" is in the Golden, they stick as close as family. So let's begin the process! First, create your account by filling out the Join the Waitlist form. Once you've submitted the form, you'll receive a confirmation email to verify your email address. Be sure to check your promotions or spam folder if you don't see it right away! After confirming your email, you'll gain access to your Golden Journey Dashboard where you can track your progress. Next up is Step 2—our phone interview! You'll be able to schedule a call to get to know each other better and answer any questions you might have. We want to make sure we're a good fit for you and your needs. Don't worry, we don't have a hundred page questionnaire or background checks—we prefer a real, free-flowing conversation to hear about you and any questions! We love hearing about your experience with dogs and/or Goldens, and what you're looking for in your perfect Golden companion. It's that simple; there are no wrong answers here. We just want to get to know you as you begin this Journey. If you need any help during this phase, please contact us. If we don't answer right away, we're likely spending quality time with sweet puppies or our young children. Your message is important to us and we will respond in a timely manner.


After our phone conversation, if everything went well, we'll approve your application. Now it's time to secure your spot on the waitlist. You'll receive an email with instructions to complete your waitlist ticket through your Journey Dashboard. First, you'll set your preferences—tell us which parent dogs you'd like puppies from, preferred size, weight, color, and any other preferences you have. Unless you know exactly what you want, try to give us a couple options to increase your chances of finding your perfect match! Next, you'll review and sign the puppy contract. Take your time to read through it carefully—it includes important information about our health guarantee, pricing breakdown, and what to expect as you wait for your puppy. Once you've signed the contract, you can place your deposit securely through our Payment Portal using a credit or debit card. After your deposit is received, congratulations—you're officially on the waitlist! Now comes the most exciting (and longest) part of the process: waiting for your puppy to be born! We'll keep you informed via email as best as possible while you wait. You can track your position and view upcoming litters anytime through your dashboard.
The time between puppies being born and going home with you is a very busy time for us, but a wonderful time for you as we get to send you puppy photos and updates! We do our best to keep you in the loop of what's going on, such as when we do an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy after 4 weeks of breeding. The best news, of course, is when the puppies are born! We'll also post regularly on our social media platforms so you can follow along and view adorable photos of your puppy's litter, our dogs, and any other litters we have around the same time. When it's time to make your puppy selection, you'll be notified to schedule a time to pick out your puppy based on your position in the picking order for either a male or female. This can happen in person or virtually! By this time, we'll have shared lots of pictures and our personal notes on each puppy's personality that we've observed. This helps if you cannot come out in person to choose. We can also take videos to help those choosing virtually. After you've selected your puppy, it's time for the moment you've been waiting for—BRINGING YOUR PUPPY HOME! The happy hellos to your new furry family member. We have a window between 7-9 weeks where you can schedule a convenient time to pick up your new pup. Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime with your Golden Retriever!
