Frequently
Asked
Questions


What is the price of your pups?
Our 2012 pups are selling for $975 plus CT sales tax.
Will you ship your pups?
No. We want to meet the families that have our pups and we want the
families to see our home and meet our goldens.
Are your pups sold with a limited or a full AKC registration?
We send our pups home with a limited AKC registration. If someone wants
a full registration, we will apply to AKC for a full registration after the pup is
at least 2 years of age and has passed all of the currently applicable health
screens for goldens as determined by the Golden Retriever Club of
America.
Is there an extra fee for full registration?
No, only the fee that the AKC is currently charging to change the
registration.
Can I send in a deposit now and how much should I send?
We only accept deposits after the puppies are born. At that time, we take a
$50 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy for a particular family.
Who picks out the puppy for our family?
As much as possible, you do. We will give as much guidance regarding
temperament, size and color as we can determine in such a young puppy.
We encourage you to meet and play with all available pups. Over and
over, we see that certain pups just seem to fit with certain families.
How will I know when the puppies are born?
If you would like to be on our notification list, please fill out our "Contact Us"
form and we will add your name to our e-mail list. E-mails are sent out
about every month or so when we do not have young pups and about every
week when we do. If you have a specific litter or time-frame in mind, please
note that in the e-mail and we will contact you as soon as a litter is born that
has those characteristics.
Can I come out and meet you before the pups are born or as soon
as they are born?
We do not allow families to visit when we have a pregnant female in the last
weeks of pregnancy or have very young pups. After a litter has been to the
vet and has received their first shots (about 6-7 weeks of age), we
encourage families to come out to visit and select their new family member
as well as meet our human and canine family. We have families come out in
the order that they were added to the waiting list for a particular litter unless
the timing is not possible for a certain family. During the first few weeks of
the puppies' life, we send e-mails and pictures about once a week.
What paperwork is necessary and how do I fill it out?
When the pups are born, we will send a deposit contract by e-mail. The
contract will tell you what you will receive when your pup goes home as well
as asking you to tell us a little about your family situation. When the puppy
goes home, we will give you a warranty asking that you have the puppy
checked by your own veterinarian and giving the right to return the pup for
a full refund including the deposit if your vet finds a health condition that
ours has missed. You can return the deposit contract by e-mail or by snail
mail.
When are payments due and what forms of payment do you take?
The $50 deposit is due when your name is placed on the waiting list for a
particular litter and the balance including tax is due when you pick up the
pup. The deposit can be make through the Paypal link on the "New Litters"
page or by check. When the puppy is picked up the balance must be in
cash.
What days and hours is your kennel open?
We schedule appointments Monday-Saturday, trying to work around the
schedules of families as much as possible. We do reserve Sundays for
worship and family.
