Frequently Asked Questions
Please remember when deciding to bring your Golden Retriever, Silver Lab or Chocolate Lab puppy into your home that they are a long term commitment of 10-14 years. They will be loyal, wonderful companions and become a part of your family.
Choosing Your Puppy
Absolutely, when you are ready for a puppy, you are able to come and meet them, and pick out the puppy that you want to give a forever home to.
When you place a deposit on a certain gender if that gender is not available, we will apply it to the next litter.
We keep our puppies for eight weeks before they are released to go home.
About Our Puppies
Dogs cycles vary, some have litters every 6 months, some every 9 months, or somewhere in between.
Our puppies have limited registration meaning they are for pets only.
Our Chocolate Labs and Silver Labs are English style which means they have a blockier body and face, thicker tail and more mellow disposition than American style Labs. Our Golden Retriever is a mix of both American and English.
When we visit the veterinarian, we take the whole litter for each visit. Each puppy gets an individual check-up with the veterinarian who then writes an individual letter for each puppy.

Preparing For Your Puppy
- Crate – get one that will fit your puppy when it is full grown. This crate will create a personal space for your dog.
- Food and water bowls
- Chew toys
- Collar - preferable one with identification and your contact information
- Leash
- Dry puppy food
- Training pads
- Bell on a string to hang off your door for potty training
- Have a crate or someone with you to hold the puppy on a blanket or towel.
- Do NOT stop at any rest areas or areas that other dogs frequent. If the puppy needs a bathroom break, find somewhere other dogs don't frequent. At this young age, a puppy has very little protection from diseases. An area that is frequented by other dogs can contain an organism that can make your puppy sick.
- Try to be home with your puppy for the first 3-4 days, if possible.
- Puppies are not fully immunized until several weeks after their 3rd set of shots. Please stay away from common dog areas, and off the vet office's floor until then.
- Try to be home with your puppy for 3-4 days
- Follow the worming schedule provided
- For feedings, follow the recommendations of the brand of puppy food you choose (usually based on weight, etc.) for frequency and amount
Puppy don'ts:
- Do not keep them on concrete
- Do not allow them to jump off of high areas (like back of a truck, top of sofa, etc.) until they are fully grown
It is best to give them high quality puppy food. The amount of food and frequency of feedings should be determined by the brand dog food that you purchase. It's usually based on your puppy's weight, etc.
Within three days of purchasing your new puppy, you must take them to a licensed vet for an exam. We advise you to find a veterinarian and make arrangements ahead of time.
