We appreciate your interest in one of our puppies. This questionnaire serves two purposes: First, it ensures that all of our puppies are placed in well-suited homes and with families who are capable and aware of the care and long-term commitment necessary in owning a Golden Retriever.
Secondly, it allows me to match you with a puppy whose personality best fits your lifestyle, level of activity, family dynamics, etc.

Other information you wish to provide:
All of our companion or pet puppies are sold with AKC Limited Registration and spay/neuter contracts. This means that your puppy will be registered with AKC, however none of its offspring will be eligible for registration. A dog with a Limited Registration as well as a spayed/neutered dog can compete in all AKC events except in Conformation.
* I understand that completing this questionnaire does not automatically entitle me to a dog.
I also understand that this application is just the initial step in the interview process. *
Thank you for your interest in our puppies,
