European Golden Retriever Puppy from Good as Goldens in Texas

Registration

Full AKC Registration allows you to show and breed the dog at your discretion.

Limited AKC Registration means puppy is purchased as a pet and is restricted from breeding and or showing. You do not have breeding or showing rights and any offspring of the animal is not registerable with the AKC.

Our Process

Our puppies are bred with care from parents who are the Best of the Best and have been fully health-tested. When we have a planned litter in mind, we begin taking deposits on that litter. After your deposit is made, you will be placed on the list in the next available spot. We do not take deposits based on gender, but if you have a preference, we would like to know that so that we can alert others making later deposits as to the preference of people already on the list.

When the litter is bred, we update the website with the expected due date and the resulting take home date. After about 4 weeks, we will confirm the pregnancy, and the website will again be updated. If the mating does not take, we will notify people on the list, and suggest alternatives and/or offer a refund of the deposit.

After the litter is born, we will notify everyone on the list of take home dates and times, and begin posting photos and videos on our website. We also provide care and feeding information along the way so that you are ready for your puppy.

Selections are made at 6 weeks via scheduled phone calls in deposit list order. We will have photos on the website to assist you with your selection.

On take-home date, we collect final payments, and provide you with your puppy and our puppy packet, which includes the veterinary wellness exam certificate, vaccination records, our life-time health guarantee, sample of our puppy food, and some toys. Of course we are available to interact with you all through the process and after your puppy goes home.

Deposits

There is a $300 deposit to hold a puppy. We require a brief phone interview to make a deposit. We accept deposits on currently available puppies and on upcoming litters. Customers with deposits get priority in the selection process on a first-in first-out basis. We work with our customers to help them choose the puppy that will best fit into their family. Selections are made after the 6-week photos are posted. The $300 deposit is not refundable, however it is transferable. You may choose to apply your deposit to a future litter in the event that circumstances prevent you from taking a puppy or there is not one that meets your criteria.

Make a Deposit

We accept deposit payments either by check or by using Venmo. Venmo allows you to pay friends and family with a Venmo account from your linked bank account or debit card quickly and securely. Get more information at https://venmo.com

Seller's Rights

We reserve the right to select first pick of any litter. We are extremely cautious about our puppies' forever homes. If for any reason during the buying process, we do not feel our puppies will be a good fit for your environment, we reserve the right to decline to sell you one of our puppies, even after your deposit has been made.

Lifetime Health Guarantee

We take great pride in our parent dog selections, and we are confident that they will produce healthy, happy puppies. All of our puppies come with a 2-year genetic health guarantee. We guarantee that your puppy will not have life-threatening, crippling, and/or disabling congenital (genetic) health defects or we'll replace your puppy free of charge. If you'd like to extend your guarantee to be a Lifetime Health Guarantee, it requires you to feed our recommended food. Read our Health Guarantee page for more information.

Puppy Shipping

We don't ship our puppies via cargo because of the stress this causes them. We recommend a flight nanny, where they will fly with the puppy under their seat, and meet you at your closest airport. The fee for this service varies but is generally around $450 - $475, depending on where in the country the puppy needs to go.
