Raising AKC Quality Bred Golden Retrievers in Southern Maine

Puppy Application

It is my responsibility to ensure my puppies a loving, caring home where they are part of the family unit.  This application is designed to help me understand your home environment and to ensure that you are in agreement with my breeding philosophy.  I sell to clients who:

  1. Enthusiastically agree to have their pet neutered before they reach sexual maturity.  WE DO NOT SELL BREEDING STOCK.
  2. Provide 24-hour supervision.  For example, my puppies are not to be left alone all day while both adults are at work.  If this is the case, arrangements for day care by older children, grandparents, pet sitters, etc. are satisfactory.
  3. Treat their puppy as part of the family unit.  My puppies are not to be tethered to a tree or doghouse, on outside runs or to be left out overnight.

In order to stay on the list of a pending litter, prospective purchasers must complete and submit the questionnaire below.  Once we receive this, you will be placed on the list and notified when puppies are born.

If we have a puppy that meets your requirements, we expect a $300.00 deposit to hold a puppy and of course we encourage your calls to check the progress of the litter.  When the puppies reach around 6 weeks of age, we normally have an open house so that families can come and meet the litter.

We selectively breed our puppies and are always interested in show prospects.  Normally 1 to 3 puppies are held aside as show prospects and the rest are sold as pets to people wanting to make them part of their family.  We do not evaluate the litter until 8 weeks of age, which is when we as breeders can tell the most about a puppy's structure.

If you would like to be placed on our prospective purchasers list, please complete the following questionnaire.

N.B.  Pressing the Enter key will submit the application.  Use the Tab key or your mouse to move from one field to the next.
